Momma said Come on
I said No
Come on now, she said
We need to go
Please dont go to work
Please stay home with me
My belly hurts
Look I skinned my knee
So she kissed my belly
and bandaged my knee
And just stood there
Looking at me
I said what mom?
Why are you looking at me so?
Never mind she said,
Its time to go
Oh, I have a headache,
and my hair needs brushed.
She gave me a look
and I just hushed
I have to go to work now
its something moms have to do
it helps us in this world
to care for you
Everything we have
comes with a price to pay
If I didnt have to go,
you know I would stay
Now put on your shoes,
the car is warm
And put on your coat,
the one thats not torn
Zip it up,
and put on your hood
You'll get a surprise
for being so good
And when we come home
we'll read a nice book
See, a few minutes without whining is all it took!
