The Mom Song and Lyrics

Oh my word! I found this last night on a blog, and we have watched it about 20x today. Even though I am way behind on finding it... It is still hilarious. And, it is sung to The William Tell Overture, otherwise known and loved in our home as "The Lone Ranger Song".
I listened to it five times last night, trying to hear everything she says. Today, we found a video with the lyrics.
Here is the Yahoo one that worked best for me: http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/ver/247.1/popup/index.php?cl=4274384
Here is the one with the lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJUY9STo6BU

This is part of a comment from one of the YouTube videos about the author of the song: "This lady is a wonder and yes she wrote it.....I met her in August in Dallas, Tx. where she lives near. She is a member of Women of Faith and this is part of her ministry." I just got an email from my friend Dianne, and here's what she had to say: "That is SO hysterical! Anita Renfroe is very funny. We got the very humorous pleasure of seeing her perform here at the end of November. She was just a scream. I got a couple more books of hers (already had a couple) and a CD. If you ever have a chance to read The Purse Driven Life or The Purse Driven Christmas, they are a riot!! We even got pix and autographs with her. You can also watch her on Bananas if you get that show - or probably even rent a Bananas video."
Here are the lyrics, in case you think you really don't need to listen to the video... I'm sure you will want to take a few minutes to listen to her sing it after reading them anyway.

Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepyhead
Here's your clothes and your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now! Get up and make your bed
Are you hot? Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget! You gotta feed the cat

Eat your breakfast, the experts tell us it's the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at 3 today
Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must play
Don't shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?

Play outside, don't play rough, will you just play fair?
Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to share
Work it out, wait your turn, never take a dare
Get along! Don't make me come down there
Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your stuff away
Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay?
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone! Get off the phone!
Don't sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the table
No more computer time tonight!
Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up

Where are you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grown
Can't wait till you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at me

Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciate
Take a bite maybe two of the stuff you hate
Use your fork, do not burp or I'll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an A, get the door, don't get smart with me
Get a grip, get in here, I'll count to three
Get a job, get a life, get a PHD
Get a dose of,

"I don't care who started it!
You're grounded until you're 36"
Get your story straight and tell the truth for once, for heaven's sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff would you jump, too?

If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before
That you're too old to act this way
It must be your father's DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straighter when you walk

A place for everything and everything must be in place
Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs on
Get in bed, get up here, say a prayer with mom
Don't forget, I love you (kiss)

And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom's work never ends
You don't need the reason why
Because, because, because, because
I said so, I said so, I said so, I said so
I'm the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom, the mom!!

Ta da!!!

So, what is - or are - your favorite parts?? :)

blessings!

I heard that song a few months ago and thought it was great! How does she talk so fast?:) I appreciated you posting the words, because some were a little hard to hear!

I liked the words that you posted about Joy. I agree with you! Also, I enjoyed reading your posts about Mike Huckabee, the HSLDA, etc. There is a big foreign policy issue with Mr. Huckabee, as well. I heard someone refer to him as "the Republican's Jimmy Carter" which I thought was interesting. I am still praying about whom to support. I cannot remember ever not having a clear direction on whom to vote for this late in the election process, but my husband and I are asking the Lord to lead on this matter. I think I have heard only one candidate comment during a debate about homeschooling as an option for parents, which was, oddly enough, from Rudy Guilianni. Also, Fred Thompson has positive things to say about homeschooling as well (according to a debate transcript), and talks about parental responsibility and the need for families to stay together, and for Dads to take the lead and be involved.

Anyway, hope all is well with you and your household and I pray blessings on you in the New Year!!!

Chris

Praying for your sick family, and hope everyone gets better soon!!

I have seen that video before on another website, and thought it was funny. I like the fact that if aren't listening carefully, it sounds like the mom is condradicting herself, when she really isn't!

Thank you for your comment! I haven't got a lot of response on that post yet, since it is the holidays, but I am hoping that "Magdalin" will come back to read it.

I am also glad that I have so many encouraging friends who have the same beliefs as I do. Where would I be without them/you?
