Our home is seldom very clean
The meals are not as good
And we don't take a bath,
As we ordinarily would.
The hamper is overflowing,
The ironing is seldom done,
And the socks that were neatly in the drawer,
Are practically down to none.
She was a model mother,
The house was shiny and bright,
She was so even-tempered,
And a perfect "guiding light".
But all that now has changed,
Dust "neath the bed does pool",
Where is that wonderful mother?
Why Mother goes to school!
She has no time for cleaning,
We kids must do our best,
We're having eggs for dinner,
Cause Mom is having a test!
She got a terrible longing,
A nurse she wanted to be,
So she nagged our dad for tuition
And the poor guy had to agree!
So every morning she packs her books
And walks out of the door,
We'd like to try and stop her,
But we're sticking to the floor!
We take our vitamins and drink our juice,
Cause it would be terribly cruel,
If we caught a cold and fever
And Mother couldn't go to school!
So if you're in the hospital,
And on your back you lie
If you happen to see a student nurse
Tell Mom we all said - Hi!
