Mother With To Many Kids

There was a mother
Who lived in a shoe
Had so many kids 
She needed a break, too

All they knew what to do
Is drive mom so crazy
They refused to help 
Because they were so lazy

She was ready to hang em 
By the strings on the shoe
In her mind, she kept thinking 
Boy, was I a fool, too 
Never stopped to think
What am I going to do 

I'll be a senior citizen 
Before last kids through school 
Why didn't I think
This just isn't cool 

Then she said, got exactly
What I really deserved
Having a family, I should
Have put on reserve

She got up and went on with her day
It was her fault, she didn't think
So what else could she say
