[Verse 1 - Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus]
My mom, she's not a woman anymore
She dresses like
Dresses like
Dresses like a man
Dresses like a man
Oh how she's not as feminine as she
Used to be before
Oh how she's so damn masculine

[Chorus - Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, both]
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
My mom's not a woman anymore
She's wearing a disguise
Everytime she leaves through that door

[Verse 2 - Mark Hoppus]
My mom's not the same
As she was in the past
If I misbehave she kicks my ass
My mom's not quite the
Woman that she was before
When my friends come over
She likes to wrestle them down to the floor

[Chorus - Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, both]
I close my eyes
My mom's not a woman anymore
She's wearing a disguise
Everytime she leaves through that door
Mama

[Outro - Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, both]
My mom's a
My mom's a
My mom's a transvestite
My mom's a
My mom's a transvestite

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
