Gershon Wolf Poet Lyric

Ta-Ra-Ra Boom-De-Ay

Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay 
  It’s Happy Mother’s Day
Mom stays in bed all day
  while we all swing and sway

We serve her brunch in bed
  not much to munch, it’s Bad!
Then we break all the dishes
  and feed the cat goldfishes

We go outside and play
  in a big lightning storm
The baby’s electrocuted
  Ha-ha, can't cry now, he’s muted

Into the basement we sneaked
  to take an illegal peak
at crazy dad’s latest experiment
  Mom's wedding ring's now rubber cement 

Time to take Mom to dinner
  We picked a real winner
Too bad the place closed last year
  They served great pickles and beer

Well, that wraps up Mother’s Day…
   'Til a tornado blows our house away
Mom cries uncontrollably
   ~ Thanks for the memories
