lyrics

Mother’s Day by Lucien LaMotte

V1
When I was a kid you tucked me in at night
And kept me safe from bed bugs that bite
Singing lullabies about a cow jumping over the moon

When I was lazy sleeping late on weekends
You’d come pull all the sheets off my bed
Saying, “this’ll hurt me more than it hurts you”

CH
We should celebrate
Every day as Mother’s Day
We’ll make you the saint of “I told you so”
Cause you always know

V2
Ya broke wood spoons on the counter when we stepped out line
To save us from Dad whoopin’ on our behinds
You have your own recipe for the family stew

There’s always food cooking for if someone drops in
Cookies and cakes piled high in a tin
Waste not want not, throwin’ it out’d be a sin

CH
Hey-ay-ay
Every day should be Mother’s Day
And you should be the saint of “I told you so”
Cause Moms always know

V3
Ya kept a whole pharmacy in your purse
With every remedy for when we got hurt
There wasn’t a nick or scrape you couldn’t cure

You never get paid for the job you do
You always come through when we need you
You’re worth more than gold in the church collection plate

You’ve never called in sick even with a cough
Even God took one day off
Never seen you walk on water but I bet you could

CH
We should pray-ay-ay
For every day to be Mother’s Day
While we’re at it make you the saint of “I told you so”
Cause you always know

BR
“If you keep making that face it’s gonna stay that way”
“Wash your hands for supper, don’t forget to pray”
“Stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about”
“I’ve had it up to here, if you don’t like it get out”
“One day you’ll thank me when I’m gone”

CH
We should pray-ay-ay
For every day to be Mother’s Day
We’ll make you the saint of “I told you so”

We should celebrate
Every day as Mother’s Day
And make you the saint of “I told you so”
Cause Mother always knows
