The sounds of sibling rivalry
The crash of spilling milk
Schedule clashes, Science projects

Hurry, hurry they'll be late
Cleaning, cooking, driving 'round
Doing laundry by the ton
Brushing hair and tying shoes
Cleaning up, but for what end
It just becomes a mess again
Nursing, loving, stopping fights
This housewife thing is easy, right?
Then why am I so tired at night?
Just when I think it's over,
It all begins again.
