Get up now, get up now, get up out of bed,
Wash your face, brush your teeth, comb your sleepy head
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 your gloves and your scarf and hat
Don't forget, you've 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 three 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, would 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 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 til you have a couple little children of your own
You'll thank me for the council I gave you so willingly,
But right now I thank you not to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew, we'd 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 in the door, don't be smart with me,
Get a grip, get in here on 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 sake
And, if all your friends jumped off a cliff, would you jump to?
If I've said once I've said it 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, get your pj's on
Get in bed, get a hug, 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!
