about
To all my favorite mothers everywhere
lyrics
The children are singing / the church bells are ringing
Everyone’s happy, we’ve all had our nappy
There’s anticipation all over the nation
As hearts all race recklessly
‘Cause every mother’s son sure loves his mum on Mother’s Day
And every other day / prepares for Mother’s Day
It’s a festival, it’s a carnival, it’s a totally mind-numbing interval, yes it’s Mother’s Day
And if Hallmark had it’s way, it would be every day
There’s flowers and candy / there’s my cousin Randy
There’s even a maypole (that’s kind of a staple)
There’s bees making honey / there’s cats, ducks, and bunnies
It’s a blessed maternal explosion!
‘Cause every mother’s son sure loves his mum on Mother’s Day
And every other day / prepares for Mother’s Day
It’s a special day, it’s a holiday, it’s a time when we’re apt to get carried away, it’s Mother’s Day
What better time to say “I love you, Ma”
Everyone’s happy, we’ve all had our nappy
There’s anticipation all over the nation
As hearts all race recklessly
‘Cause every mother’s son sure loves his mum on Mother’s Day
And every other day / prepares for Mother’s Day
It’s a festival, it’s a carnival, it’s a totally mind-numbing interval, yes it’s Mother’s Day
And if Hallmark had it’s way, it would be every day
There’s flowers and candy / there’s my cousin Randy
There’s even a maypole (that’s kind of a staple)
There’s bees making honey / there’s cats, ducks, and bunnies
It’s a blessed maternal explosion!
‘Cause every mother’s son sure loves his mum on Mother’s Day
And every other day / prepares for Mother’s Day
It’s a special day, it’s a holiday, it’s a time when we’re apt to get carried away, it’s Mother’s Day
What better time to say “I love you, Ma”
