My attitude daughter told me it was the easiest job to be a mum,
Everybody has to listen to me.
So I told her to be mum one day.
Little Johnny aged three woke her up at 2:00 am to say he wanted to ***,
Again he woke her up at 3:00am to say he was thirsty,
Christine my five year old woke her at 3:30am to say her teddy was crying,
If she would sing to him,
At 5:30am Christine said she couldn't sleep and slept with her pushing her to the edge of the bed.
At 6:30am the alarm rang for her to make breakfast and send the children to school,
By nine o'clock she gave up,
Begged me to be mummy again.
