Your Mothers Son-in-law
Alberta nichols / mann holiner
You dont have to have a hanker
To be a broker or a banker
No siree, just simply be
My mothers son-in-law.
Neednt even think of tryin
To be a mighty social lion
Sipping tea, if youll be
My mothers son-in-law,
Aint got the least desire
To set the world on fire
Just wish youd make it proper
To call my old man papa
You dont have to sing like bledsoe
You can tell the world I said so
Cant you see youve got to be
My mothers son-in-law.
You dont have to sing like jessel
You can tell the world I said so
Cant you see, youve got to be
My mothers son-in-law.

A Mothers Love
(toshifumi hinata/bill wray/diana ross)
In a world of make believe
You can change all that you see
But in the world of reality
Youve taught me all that I need
Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
Youve been with me day by day
The only way I can thank you
Is to be the best that I can be
If we hold on together
Just you and me
A mothers love is forever
A mothers love is for free
It doesnt matter if youre good or bad
Shes there for whatever you need
In the world of fantasy
Hold on to your dreams
Open up your heart and see
All the love you need is me
Time like a river flows
Twisting and turning all the way
Life is an endless road
Youve been with me day by day
You are you and I am me
Youve made me all that I am
Heart to heart and hand to hand
Always there to understand
A mothers love is forever
A mothers love is for free
It doesnt matter if youre good or bad
Shes there for whatever you need
Doesnt matter if youre good or bad
Theres nothing like a mothers love

Some Mothers Son
Some mothers son lies in a field
Someone has killed some mothers son today
Head blown up by some soldiers gun
While all the mothers stand and wait
Some mothers son aint coming home today
Some mothers son aint got no grave
Two soldiers fighting in a trench
One soldier glances up to see the sun
And dreams of games he played when he was young
And then his friend calls out his name
It stops his dream and as he turns his head
A second later he is dead
Some mothers son lies in a field
Back home they put his picture in a frame
But all dead soldiers look the same
While all the parents stand and wait
To meet their children coming home from school
Some mothers son is lying dead
Somewhere someone is crying
Someone is trying to be so brave
But still the world keeps turning
Though all the children have gone away
Some mothers son lies in a field
But in his mothers eyes he looks the same
As on the day he went away
They put his picture on the wall
They put flowers in the picture frame
Some mothers memory remains

The Women Of The World
The women of the World as people they are great
They give birth to the children and in so doing life create
In every woman ever born a nurturing soul you'll find
The mothers and the aunties a credit to Humankind.
All mothers and non mothers we ought to celebrate
The women of the World we tend to under-rate
Get rid of Patriarchy as such we do not need
History tells us that only to war the male kind us do lead.
The women of the World their praises we should sing
They have the gift of dialogue and that's a marvellous thing
'Tis not to give his life in war a mother raises her son
You seldom hear a woman sing of battles fought and won.
To the women of the World the toasting glass we'll raise
As the glue that binds humanity they are worthy of our praise
They are the unsung heroines of our World of today
The respect to them that is overdue to them we ought to pay.

Dont Drive Drunk
He and his wife have had problems
That hes played off like nothings wrong
til he comes home from work early
Just to find the girl is gone
Oh but he gets into the cupboard
Picks out that bottle of gin
Drinks like theres no tomorrow
And decides to take a spin
No dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk, no
Dont drive drunk
Mothers against drunk drivers are mad
Teenager at a live party
Says, give me one for the road
But hes already so inebriated
If you lit a smoke hed explode
But bartender says, I dont think so
Young one says, I can deal
Staggering out he says, check you all later
But I really dont think he will
No dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk, no
Dont drive drunk
Mothers against drunk drivers are mad
(repeat)
(background)
Dont drive drunk
D-d-d dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk
Hicup
(repeat)
Boy out with girl on their first date
Gets pulled over by the law
Officer says, hey cant you drive straight
Or have you been drinking alcohol?
Boy says, man are you crazy?
Cop says, hey then walk this line
But results from the breathalizer
Proves hes charged with d.u.i.
No dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk, no
Dont drive drunk
Mothers against drunk drivers are mad
(repeat)

Dont drive drunk
D-d-d dont drive drunk
Dont drive drunk

Mother Poems
We have Fathers Poems
Why not Mothers Poems?
Without our Mothers, we won't be born,
Without Mothers, We are so forlorn.
Babies, Mothers nurture,
And guide us in our future.
To Mothers everywhere,
Lovely poems, I do declare!
If I Could
I dont believe you know
What youre talking bout
I dont believe youd go
And ever find out for yourself
Always got a lot to say
Well Im not listening anyway
Im not listening anyway
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better
I dont believe you care
About the consequences
I dont believe you share
In what you know we know is true
Turning keys and locking doors
I wont accept that anymore
Wont accept that anymore
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better
I dont believe you know
About the hearts youve broken
I dont believe you show
What your intentions really are
Can you hear
What have you done
Theres not enough for everyone
Not enough for everyone
If I could
Make the world a little better
You know I would
Make the world a little better

Mothers Day
Mothers Day Greetings
For our forgotten mothers
Even though we are not living,
We remember you Mom!
We know it is hard
For you to have a good Mothers' Day
When your son is from this life apart,
We, your sons, thank each one of you on your day.
We know you feel sad and glum
When you are from your son apart.
Happy Mothers Day Mom
In this life you did your part.

Mothers Day
Mothers day
is not like valentine day
where you care for your mother like money
since in 2012 it was on monday
mothers love and care
its so good that it floats in the air
although mothers take care for the hair
since they sit bossy on the chair
children celebrate them and rejoice
while drinking coke and ice
een the mother sits while eating rice
since their day is so nice
we dance and sing
as the father gives the mother a valentine ring
she sits on the chair relaxing
since she doesnt need to be working
we thank all the mothers since they are not mean
as their day is tight like a skinny jean
their work is sweet like a dream
all you have to do is say
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY

Wonder Boy
La-la-la-la...
Wonder boy, lifes just begun.
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, dont sigh, dont groan
Life is only what you wonder.
Day is as light as your brightest dreams,
Night is as dark as you feel it ought to be.
Time is as fast as the slowest thing,
Life is only...
Wonder boy,
Wonder boy.
Everybody is looking for the sun.
People strain their eyes to see,
But I see you and you see me,
And aint that wonder?
Wonder boy, some mothers son,
Life is full of work and plunder[? ].
Easy go, life is not real,
Life is only what you conjure.
Wonder boy,
And the world is joy, every single day.
Its the real mccoy,
Wonder boy.
Everybody is looking for the sun.
People strain their eyes to see,
But I see you and you see me,
And aint that wonder?
Wonder boy, some mothers son,
Turn your sorrow into wonder
Dream alone, go have your fun.
Life is only...
Life is only...
Life is only...

Dont You Want Me
You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you
I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around
Turned you into someone new
Now five years later on youve got the world at your feet
Success has been so easy for you
But dont forget its me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I cant believe it when I hear that you wont see me
Dont, dont you want me?
You know I dont believe you when you say that you dont need me
Its much too late to find
You think youve changed your mind
Youd better change it back or we will both be sorry
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
That much is true
But even then I knew Id find a much better place
Either with or without you
The five years we have had have been such good times
I still love you
But now I think its time I lived my life on my own
I guess its just what I must do
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh
Dont you want me baby? dont you want me - oh

Baby Your Baby
All you know it all lovers better heed some advice,
If youre bad to your baby, youd better think twice.
Love dont come easy, love aint blind.
Youve got to show her you love her, morning and night,
Be there for her just to make things right.
Make her believe till there aint a doubt in her mind.
Chorus:
Better baby your baby with a love thats strong,
Hold her and tell her youll never do wrong.
Better baby your baby, cause if you dont
One day your babyll be gone.
Dont let her get lonely, dont make her cry,
Dont take her for granted, dont tell her a lie.
Bring her red roses when shes blue.
Give her the best of what youve got to give,
Youll be together as long as you live,
Better baby your baby, shell baby you.
Repeat chorus

Woman as mother
Cruel women are kind hearted mothers.
Strict women are liberal mothers.
Selfish women are generous mothers.
They excel other mothers in nursing.

For A Dancer
Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
I dont remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought youd always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now youre nowhere to be found
I dont know what happens when people die
Cant seem to grasp it as hard as I try
Its like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
That I cant sing
I cant help listening
And I cant help feeling stupid standing round
Crying as they ease you down
cause I know that youd rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
(right on dancing)
No matter what fate chooses to play
(theres nothing you can do about it anyway)
Just do the steps that youve been shown
By everyone youve ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Anothers steps have grown
In the end there is one dance youll do alone
Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Dont let the uncertainty turn you around
(the world keeps turning around and around)
Go on and make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
But youll never know

Mothers Always Want Theirs Sons To Be Happy
mothers always want their sons to be happy
and so even if they marry someone
whom their fathers dislike
it is always them who settle for a compromise
and tell fathers to be flexible sometimes
not to hurt the hearts of sons
but sometimes when sons want something else
that only mothers understand
something that fathers cannot really compromise
mothers still compromise
and walk a mile farther
just to make their sons happy
and their sons leave them
to places that only mothers
by their loving hearts
know.
only mothers, yes only mothers,
and no one else.

It Aint Easy
You make it all sound easy
Now youve tasted all my wine
I never wanted to hear the news
That youd found another man
But its hard to see
What you want from me
Its not easy to be in-between
Its now up to you to
Make the move this time
But it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy
But you take the chance
The final chance to learn
Yes, to learn
That it aint easy when you
Dont know where to turn
And it aint easy, so you take a look
Another look at life - look at life
cause it aint what youve got
In the palm of your hand
And its not what youll get
From another man
That will last you
The rest of your life my friend
Monday mornings waiting
Take a look at what you see
Make the most of your life
Dont keep the pages clean
Baby, now youve got this chance
Dont leave me out
Its so hard when
Youre in-between
What you need and
What may never be
It aint easy ...

Dont you know that you can count me out?
Dont you know its gonna be
Alright?

Well, you know
Wed all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well, you know
We are doing what we can
But if you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell is, brother, youll have to wait
Dont you know its gonna be
Alright?

You say youll change the constitution
Well, you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me its the institution
Well, you know

You aint gonna make it with anyone anyhow

Hey Jesus
Hey jesus its me
I dont usually talk to you
But my babys gonna leave me
And theres something you must do
I am not your faithful servant
I hang around sometimes
With a bunch of your black sheep
But if you make my baby stay
Ill make it up to you
And thats a promise I will keep
Hey jesus its me
Im the one who talked to you yesterday
And I asked you please please
For a favor but my babys gone away
Went away anyway
And I dont really think its fair
Youve got the power to make us all
Believe in you
And then we call you in our despair
And you dont come through
Hey jesus its me
Im sorry
I dont remember all I said
I had a few, no, too many
And they went straight to my head
And made me feel like I could argue with god
But you know its easy for you
You got friends all over the world
You had the whole world waiting for your birth
But now I aint got nobody
I dont know what my lifes worth
Im not gonna call on you any more
Im sure youve got a million things to do
All I was trying to do
Was to get through to you
Get through to you
Because when I die and I get up to your doors
I dont even know if youre gonna let me in the place
How come I gotta die
To get a chance to talk to
You face to face

There Aint Nothing Like A Song
(words & music by byers - johnston)
When you say thats it boy
Im finally beat
Youre goin ninety miles an hour
Down a dead end street
You dont want to fight no more
You think that you cant win
Come on boy take a real deep breath
Jump right in and
Hold your head up high
Oh you gotta be strong
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There aint nothing like a song
Now they may take away your job
Take your fancy car
They may repossess your clothes, take that fine guitar
They may take everything you own
Well thats just for today
As long as youve got a song in your heart
Tomorrows gonna be o.k.
Hold your head up high
Oh you gotta be strong
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There aint nothing like a song
All right
There aint nothing gonna stop you
Once youve set your mind
The only people gonna knock you
Are jealous of what they find
Just keep a smile right on your face
Dont let em get you down
When you wake up tomorrow
The world is spinnin round
Hold your head up high, hey, hey, hey
You gotta be strong, all right
Come on and sing, sing, sing
There aint nothing like a song
Well lovins all that I can give you
(baby thats enough)
You aint easy to satisfy
(baby I aint that tough)
Now hey little girl youre about the wildest
Thing Ive ever seen
(when Im with you baby Im a lovin machine)
Come on and kiss me honey
Oh you gotta be strong
Come on and sing, sing
There aint nothing like a song
Come on and sing, (sing) sing
(sing) sing, (sing) sing
There aint nothing like a song
