Thank You Mum

Thank you, mum

Your rascal son

Has seen the error of his ways

I stole your purse and smashed the crocks

You done my trousers washed my socks

Dragged me screaming to the doc's

Drink your medicine, chicken pox

Put your toys back in their box

Didn't mean it

Thank you, mum

Thank you, mum

Your naughty boy

Will do his best to make amends

I hurt you merely to amuse

You wiped my nose and cleaned my shoes

Put witch-hazel on my bruise

Have you done your number twos?

Mind you watch your P's and Q's

Got a fiver?

Thank you, mum

Thank you, mum

You dear old girl

Through thick and thin you knit and purl

There isn't any better mum

Than my mum in this whole world
