在母親節的前夕, 想起了去年在美國很流行的一首歌: "The Mom Song" 是由Anita Renfro 所創的歌. 她是ㄧ位作家, 音樂家, 也是ㄧ位演講專家. 她將ㄧ位媽媽在24小時裡所說的話 濃縮成一首2分又55秒的歌. 字裡行間Anita以一種美式的幽默 似是數落自己的成天嘮叨, 但在在透露了對孩子的關心, 擔心, 噓寒問暖, 希望給孩子做好的, 又怕寵壞了孩子, 希望孩子能玩的盡興, 又怕功課做不好, 希望孩子比人強, 又怕孩子強出頭..... 這些也都是我們當母親的矛盾吧?! 僅以此首歌獻給 媽媽們 聽完歌 除了會心的ㄧ笑 也想想 明天起, 我們要對孩子 說什麼? ?? 歌詞如下: 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 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 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 two 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 A, Get the door Don’t get smart with me Get a Grip Get in here I’ll count to 3 Get a job Get a life Get a PhD Get a dose of reality 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 straight 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 |
