Ordinary mothers lead
ordinary lives
Clean the house
And sweep the parlor
Cook the meals
And look exhausted
Ordinary mothers like
ordinary wives
Fry the eggs
And dry the sheets
And try to deal with facts
Where the ****
is the stage manager
Mine acts
Darling I miss you a lot
But darling this has to be short
As-a mother is getting a plaque
From the
Halsingborg Arts Council
Amateur Theatre Group
Whether it's funny or not
I'll-a give you a fuller report
The minute they carry me back
From the
Halsingborg Arts Council
Amateur Theatre Group
Love you
Unpack the luggage la la la
Pack up the luggage la la la
Unpack the luggage la la la
Hi ho the glamorous life
lce in the basin la la la
Cracks in the plaster la la la
Mice in the hallway la la la
Hi ho the glamorous life
Run for the carriage la la la
Wolf down the sandwich la la la
Which town is this one la la la
Hi ho the glamorous life
Ordinary daughters
ameliorate their lot
Use their charms
And choose their futures
Breed their children
Heed their mothers
Ordinary daughters
Which mine I fear is not
Tend each asset
Spend it wisely
While it still endures
No hot water again
Mine tours
Mother forgive the delay
My schedule is driving me wild
But mother I really must run
I'm performing in Rottwig
And don't ask
where is it please
How are you feeling today
And are you
corrupting the child
Don't
Mother the minute I'm done
with performing in Rottwig
I'll come for a visit
and argue
Mayors with speeches la la la
Children with posies la la la
Half-empty houses la la la
Hi ho the glamorous life
Cultural lunches la la la
Dead floral tributes la la la
Ancient admirers la la la
Hi ho the glamorous life
Pack up the luggage la la la
Unpack the luggage la la la
Pack up the luggage la la la
Hi ho the glamorous life
Mama's romantic la la la
Mother's misguided la la la
Mother's surviving la la la
Leading the glamorous life
Cracks in the plaster la la la
Youngish admirers la la la
Which one was that one la la la
Hi ho the glamorous life
Bring up the curtain la la la
Bring down the curtain la la la
Bring up the curtain la la la
Hi ho the glamorous life
