It's that one day a year that Mama is treated with respect, Wal-mart gets richer and kids do pentitence for a year of hurt they poured upon Mama's head.
Let's honor Mama, one day a year,
The rest of the year, she can kiss your rear.
It's Mother's Day, let the cash registers ring!
Let's make the merchants more wealthy by buying things!
For everytime you broke Mama's heart, buy her a posey,
That'll make everything all right, make everything rosy!
For all the hurtful things you've said and disrespect, buy candy!
That will surely make everything fine and dandy!
What Mama really wants can't be bought,
Be a shining example of the good things she's taught.
For nine months, in her body, she carried you around,
Endured a world of pain, without uttering a sound.
You were her everything,
So worth the pain Motherhood would surely bring.
Material things will wilt, break and turn to dust,
Give her daily love and respect, that is a must.
