The Mom Song
|
Hi, friends
A few weeks ago I put a link to a utube video with a fantastic song ( Guilherme Tell ouverture), - THE MOM SONG -which I thought could be used in a lesson. Someone told me Frenchfrog had already uploaded a lesson using that video, which I downloaded and yes, it is a great lesson. My problem now is that I wanted to use it in one of my next lessons, but I discovered that it is not available anymore. I didn �t download it, I just kept the link.
I wander if any of you did get the video, instead of just the link and wouldn �t mind to email it to me.
Thanks in advance

TEXT FOR THE "no piano" version - Anita Renfroe version (1st link...)
Momsense
Anita Renfroe
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 got to feed the cat
Each 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
Did you 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?
Say 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 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 chew
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I�ll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an egg in the door
Don�t get smart with me
Get a Grip
Get up here I�ll count to 3
Get a job
Get a life
Get a PhD
Get a [???]
I don�t care who started it
You�re grounded until your 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
Get your PJs 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

Lyrics to the Mom Song Kid �s Response
by Vanessa Van Petten
I am up, I am up, Im up and dressed
Can I wear this, am I cute, are the boys impressed
Wheres my clothes and my shoes and my backpack at
And, Yes Im wearing that
No mom, no OJ, wheres the pop tarts at
Wheres my lunch, eww gross, do I look fat?
After school bring me a snack when I get back
And then its homework until I collapse
Watch some TV shows, to us teens its the most important thing of all
Get my TIVO for set up for gossip girls�the coolest show of all
Please remember not to come downstairs when my friends are over here
Just stay upstairs all the time so when we gossip you will not hear
TTYL, Not now, Im coming, can you drive me there
Close my door, Get out! Please dont touch mess up my hair
I said thank you, I dont want to, please dont bother me
Theres my cell phone, its a text, Ill have to BRB
LOL, cu later, take me to the mall
Wait one second I have to take this call.
Thats so chill, so cool, oh mom please chillax
ROTFL, oh please dad just relax
I hear breathing mom, is that you on my call
While youre here though can I have money for the mall
Hi mom, its me, Im over at sandys
and I �m wondering if I can spend the night? We �re watching movies And yes, Sandy �s mom is also here right now,
talk to her, oh maybe shes in the shower so im not sure how.
Oh man what If my parents catch me
there are some things that we do that all parents cant see
I forgot my homework, what Im grounded, oh you are so unfair
Were you never young, youre the worst, and you are always late to day care
Do I have to, I dont want to, can I have some money
Not a boyfriend, were just friends, just an FWB
You dont get me, your so lame, can you drop me off here
I dont want my friends to see you near
My day was fine, and my test was just ok
ill never be like you, my kids will be great
dont read my diary, just give me my privacy
Can I go to the dance, I wont get an STD
Oh and about parents who patrol
about Parental controls
they dont really work
We know when you lurk
And often cover up
With fake homework
Or IM our friends red parents alert
So I want to tell you that when we say that we hate you
We know
you really want to keep us safe
But can I just make our case
Sometimes we just want a little freedom from your rules
And when you nag us, and tell us to
Take out the trash and clean dog poo
Our only course of action is to roll our eyes at you
Mom!
Brush my teeth, wash my face, fight with mom
Text my friends, ask for money, put my retainer on
I guess its true, I love you
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a moms nags never end
Can I have a later curfew
I need it, just trust me, everyone else does it too
Hey mom hey mom hey mom hey mom, hey mom
I love you, I do, Im your kid!

KIDS SONG Lyrics
"Can we go sledding?
I want to build a snowman.
Will you play with me?
Can I go outside to play?
Will you push me on the swings?
Will you read me a book?
I can do tricks,
look mom look!
But I dont wanna.
I dont have to go potty.
I think I wet my pants.
I already brushed my teeth.
Im too tired.
I dont need a nap.
Do I have to go?
Are we there yet?
Is it multiple choice?
Is it fill in the blank?
Can it be open book?
Can we have a word bank?
I didnt know we were having a test.
Dont you know I did my best?
I dont have any homework.
I heard you the first time!
I already practiced my instrument!
Get off my back.
How come she gets to do it and I dont?
Thats not fair!
Are you kiddin me?
Sarahs mom lets her do it!
I didnt do it!
I wish you were like his mom.
I just want 5 more minutes?
Can I play one more?
But my favorite show is on.
Can I stay up late?
You dont know what its like.
DONT YOU KNOW ANYTHING?!
Will you fix my toy?
Will you play with me?
Im hungry
Im thirsty
Im hot
Im cold
I dont want to wear a hat.
Please dont make me wear that.
Ew, I stepped in something sticky.
The food you make is very icky.
I ate the food you put on my plate
Although its the stuff that I really hate.
Do I have to eat that?
But it tastes funny!
Please mom can I get a bunny?
Can I stay home from school today?
Im getting a sore throat.
I dont want to go to the doctors.
But Im feeling better.
Will I have to get a shot?
Will the doctor give me stickers?
I did my chores, they were really a bore
I picked up my toys.
I fed and the brushed the dog.
Can I have my allowance?
Can we go to the toy store?
But mommmmm!
You never buy me anything.
Cant you see that Im already grown,
And Im ready to do things on my own.
I can do it all by myself.
I dont know how to do it!
What the heck Im only 12,
I dont want responsibilities!
What does this say?
Hes not sharing!
He bit me! She hit me!
But WHY?
Will you tuck me in?"
