I’ll cook the supper
I’ll feed the cat
I’ll throw in the laundry
There! That is that!
I’ll do the dishes
I’ll wash the floor
I’ll bathe the kids
But wait, there’s more
I’ll get them all scrubbed
Then I’ll read them a book
Tori has a boo-boo
Let mom take a look
I’ll fix their bicycles
I’ll take them to the park
I’ll make sure they’re in
Before it gets dark
I’ll take them to the doctor
And to the dentist too
There’s never time for me
Or anything I want to do
I’ll go to the parent-teacher night
I’ll pick up the groceries after
I’ll get home quite late to find
The place is a disaster
I’ll go pick up a movie
I’ll make sure it’s one that’s good
If only Tiffany didn’t invite
Half the neighbourhood
It’s raining outside
We’ve decided to bake
They glop gunk all over
God give me a break!
I’ll hug them and love them
I’ll encourage them with praise
I’ll clothe them and shelter them
What do you mean I don’t get a raise?
I’ll censor all T.V.
This is good, this is bad
I’ll make all decisions
I’m Mom and I’m Dad
I’ll discipline them for wrong doing
If they made a bad choice
Sometimes I get sick
Of hearing my own voice
We’ll do crafts together
It’ll be their reward
Ten minutes later
They’ll say “Mommy, I’m bored.”
I’ll sew a curtain
I’ll shovel that snow
I’m Jack of all trades
Didn’t you know
I’ll drive them to lessons
And birthday parties too
Sure I can handle it
I’ve got nothing better to do
I’ll be Santa Claus and
The Easter Bunny as well
They put two and two together
And I thought they couldn’t tell
I’ll be the tooth fairy
I can handle it, I said
I’ll perform my duties faithfully
If I’m not pronounced dead
I’ll settle that quarrel
I’ll referee that fight
I’ll rub their backs
Before bedtime at night
I’ll add some oil to my car
That runs extremely poor
Sometimes it seems like more
Than even I can endure
We’ll become a loving family
We’ll care for one another
I don’t want and ifs, ands, or buts
Remember I’m your Mother
I’ll do the mending
I’ll scrub that wall
Wait a minute God
Is this my call?
