Mum's Kitchen

As far as kitchens go, this one's pretty cool To miss one of Mum's feeds, you'd be a fool Thousands of cup cakes and every Sunday a roastà Every morning she'd make me honey on toast Learning to cook was easy when mum was there One day smoke from the oven gave as a scare Getting your hands dirty making sausage rolls When I got a bit older, we made coffee scrolls But every birthday cake was made with such love Oven trays for a party would fit if we gave them a shove Pancakes were a favourite with lemon and sugar Mum would call me over to open a tight jar The smells that came out of the oven were great Mum would get up set if dinner was running late For breakfast, lunch or a snack it was the place If you felt crook, it put a smile on your face Mum would walk you over to a hot lemon drink The meals dad tried to cook, would make the house stink So to miss one of Mum's feeds, you'd be a fool Because I think Mum's kitchen is pretty cool
