| Kids, I surrender. You win. |
Ain't got no swanky office
Work's piled under marketing lists
Cos I'm a mum
A work-at-home mum
Baby's crying from a fall
At the start of a conference call
Cos I'm a mum
Professional mum
Gave up insensible shoes
To squat and kiss boo-boos
Cos I'm a mum
A practical mum
My pay is kinda crappy
My mood, it's kinda snappy
Cos I'm a mum
An "I need to sleep" mum
Gave up a thousand or four
To do the things that matter more
Cos I'm a mum
A bye-bye-career mum
Economic contribution?
Let's talk after dinner preparation
I'm a mum
No-domestic-help mum
My body's oh so weary
Why do kids get up so early
I'm a mum
An I-want-to-sleep-in mum
Got no time to match clothes to shoes
Just grab whatever's clean and looseGot no time to match clothes to shoes
Cos I'm a mum
An I-miss-looking-good mum
Sure I'd love to dress up
But my kids lost all my make up
Cos I'm a mum
No-more-cosmetics mum
May have no real boss at my back
But the kids cut me no slack
Cos I'm a mum
Frequently bullied mum
No time to brush my hair
The school bus is already there
Cos I'm a mum
Perpetually late mum
When the kids are off at school
I ain't lounging by no pool
Cos I'm a mum
A "no time for me" mum
Phonics, craft, science and numbers
But really, I'm no teacher
Just a mum
Home learning mum
A "no time for me" mum
Phonics, craft, science and numbers
But really, I'm no teacher
Just a mum
Home learning mum
Fell asleep accidentally
At 8pm with the baby
Cos I'm a mum
A tired mum
Co-sleeping indefinitely
Nursing on demand, that's me
Cos I'm a mum
A milk-buffet mum
Picking toys at late o'clock
Feet finding pegs and Lego blocks
Cos I'm a mum
A try-to-be-neat mum
Bring the kids to the PD
Oh shucks, I've forgotten money
Cos I'm a mum
Absent-minded mum
Every day is filled with laundry
And "Mama just one more story"
Cos I'm a mum
A do-it-all mum
Late to meet our friends for dinner
The baby's still just in her diaper
Cos I'm a mum
A frazzled mum
Spare the rod and spoil the child?
I only hope they don't grow wild
Cos I'm a mum
Non-violent mum
Don't need no thermometer
To know they've got a fever
Cos I'm a mum
Experienced mum
Linking up
I absolutely love this, Adora! Do u already have a tune to this or is it gonna just be a rap? Haha! I'm gonna sing it to my own tune!
ReplyDeleteHaha it goes to the tune of "I was climbing up the mountain when it came out like a fountain, diahorrea, diahorrea"
DeleteUnfortunately I learnt such a song in my youth, yes
Yes can so foresee it turning into a song or rap like the Fiat's motherhood rap. Hey and you forgot, you're a pretty cool mom too :)
