Remo Fernandes - Take, Mother, Take Lyrics

Mother Teresa - Queen of Charity
Mother Teresa - Icon of Purity
Brand Ambassador - of Poverty
Mother Teresa - quite simply - Celebrity

Now you don't have to beg no more
We'll give you what you're looking for
Now you're a famous diva
And all we want to do is give ya
We want to partake
And all you got to do is take and take

Take, Mother, take - take take take
Take, Mother, take - take take take
Take, Mother, take - take take take
Take

We want to link your name with ours
We love how that empowers
You are more pop than the Queen of Pop
We want a photo op

Take, Mother, take - The Magsaysay Award
Take, Mother, take - Pope John's Peace Prize
Take, Mother, take - The Kennedy Prize
Take, Mother, take - The Templeton Prize
Take, Mother, take - The Albert Shweitzer Prize
Take, Mother, take - The Belzan Prize
Take, Mother, take - Et mesdames et messieurs, de la France, La Legion d'Honeur

Honorary degrees from various prestigious universities
Useless for you and your poor, but what the heck
Your name will look good on our marble plaque

Take, Mother, take - take take take
Take, Mother, take - take take take
Take, Mother, take - take take take
Take

Mother, Pope Paul calling
Haha! How are you?
I want to gift you my luxury car
Yes! It's a white Lincoln Continental
I'm sure it will take you very far

Prenda, madre, prenda
Prenda, madre, prenda
Prenda, madre, prenda
Prenda

Dear Mother, we are the greatest
The strongest and the richest
We'd love to take the cue
We'd love to honor you too
We'll blow your mind away
Cause we're the mighty USA

Take, Mother, take - The US Presidential Medal from President Reagan
Take, Mother, take - The Congressional Gold Medal from the American Congress
Take, Mother, take - And now, the most valuable, coveted gift of them all!
Take, Mother, take - Only Winston Churchill was given this during his lifetime
I'm talkin' about the Honorary Citizenship
Of the United States of America

Ain't it more valuable than a car?

The whole world is awarding her
But we have not till date
She is an Indian Citizen
And as usual we are late
But she will understand surely
Because she knows we're always like that only

Lijiye maaji - The Nehru Prize
Lijiye maaji - No compromise
Lijiye maaji - The Barat Ratna
And your face on a postage stamp
We hope that will be it, na?

To the Mother of all Poor
Comes the Mother of all Prizes
We all know that you're
Way beyond all surprises
But yet we can tell
This one will cast a spell
Your spirits will swell
As we give you a prize
From Alfred Nobel

We missed out Mahatma Gandhi
Due to his untimely death
It's Nobel's greatest regret
But today we pay our debt
Tell us - what does India do
To keep inspiring Great Souls like you?

Mother Teresa, you are being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
Do you have any idea what one should do to promote World Peace?

Go home, and love your family

You don't need to be terribly wise
To guess who gets this Nobel Peace Prize
It was an absolute no-brainer
For each and every Nobel appraiser
It's the holy trail-blazer
The one and only
Mother Teresa
