lyrics

I don't care for doing dishes
I'd rather go outside and play
With the birds the bees
The worms the trees
The slimy things you find
When you slip under the leaves

But Mom Says No
Mom Says No
Is that the only word
She knows?

I've got 14 yrs but I just turned 6
Ma's got me working
Double mealtime shifts
It's rinse that fork
And shine that spoon
There'll be no fun this afternoon
No birds no bees
No worms no trees
No caterpillar parties
In the shade of the leaves

CHORUS

A thousand legs gliding
On leaves of grass
Don't let that caterpillar train pass
From the big oak tree
Through the hills and shore
Listen for the patter of tiny feet
Don't miss that train
When Mother calls
It's time to eat
Don't stamp your feet!

CHORUS

All the goodies will be mine
All the spoons and All the knives
All the pigs and their potbellied wives
All the wooden soldiers their wooden eyes
Yes All the dimples on All the dimes
All the little crumbs and their little crimes
All the lemons and All the limes
All the goodies they will be mine

But Mom Says No
Mom Says No
It's the only word
She knows
