As Mothers Do!


Well I went and got married didn't I!
And settled down to bliss,
But I never reckoned on his mother!
Having a share of this!
I'd make him his favorite cake,
And fancy it up a little,
But he complained it wasn't like his mum's,
And the icing was hard and brittle!

I always loved to make a pan of scouse,
Just like ‘my' mum used to do!
Except ‘his' mum did it better!
I think me angers coming through!
Rice pudding is one that he loves,
So I decided to have a go at that!
But it wasn't golden on top!
Well blow me down and knock me flat!

His mother does everything perfect!
And no matter what I made for his tea!
He would always quote the same;
‘Mum made it much better than that for me!'
So I hit him with the rolling pin!!
The one his mum used to bake a cake!
And belted him in the ear…
Because my patience I forsake!

I locked him in his bedroom,
And wouldn't let him out, nope, not me!
‘My mum used to do this to me!' He shouted!
Well glory, glory be!

I did something right for once!

Just like his mother used to do!
