Egy kedves, vicces dal anyák napjára!

Every day you keep me safe and warm and loved and fed

But today’s your special day,

 It was my turn instead

So I got up at 5 a.m. I’ve-been working hard since then

Some things I didn’t get quite right, next year I’ll try again

Just for you I did my best to cut my own hair

Some places came out pretty good.

And some are kind of bare

I washed all your nicest clothes, but the washer wasn’t free

So I used the dishwasher

Pretty smart of me!

CHORUS:

Remember no one’s perfect.

Every kid has faults

Remember it’s the thought that counts, more than the results

My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Mother’s Day my love for you is strong

I vacuumed really quietly I didn’t use the power

I cleaned your dirty iPad screen, I held it in the shower

I painted all the ceilings it was easy with the mop

Now the carpet’s painted too with cool rainbow drops!

I answered all your work e-mails with “Just leave me alone“

And we gave a prince from Scamdinavia a loan

I watered all the house plants with the garden hose

I forgot to turn it off sometimes that’s how it goes

CHORUS

Your car’s shiny inside and out with lots of olive oil

Who knew that oatmeal splatters up so high and far on boil

I tried to make you orange juice but I spilled it on the floor

I tried to fry you bacon we don’t have a stove no more

Since you can’t really cook this week I called the pizza place

I emptied out the fridge and freezer so there’s enough space

They should be here any time, two dozen pizza pies

I paid with your credit card, I hope that you’re surprised

CHORUS

Remember no one’s perfect.

Every kid has faults

Remember it’s the thought that counts, more than the results

My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Mother’s Day my love for you is strong

My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Mother’s Day my love for you is strong

My heart was in the right place even though I did it wrong

It was all to say on Mother’s Day my love for you is strong

It was all to say on Mother’s Day my love for you is strong
