Mother's Pride

The Beautiful South

 Here he comes - Mother's Pride 
 With the first ever satchel she bought him swinging by his side 
 Here he comes Mother's Pride 
 With a headful of 'get your laces tied' and 'woe betide' 

 With a year's supply of sandwiches and fairy cakes 
 That she provides for him to eat at dinner breaks 
 It's no surprise at all, at ad the friends he makes 
 His stomach aches 
 he's Mother's Pride 

 He's presentable, well looked after 
 He's domestically disastrous 
 He's adorable - Mother's Pride 

 Here he comes - Father's Pride 
 With a head filled up with devil dogs and genocide 
 Here he comes - Father's Pride 
 He's showing all the kids his tickets for ringside 

 He'll always roam the yard looking for a fight 
 He'll pick on all the kids who're twice his height 
 He's the reason dinner ladies toss and turn at night 
 Teacher's Blight - Father's Pride 

 He's the image of his Dad 
 Mickey Mouse meets Jack the Lad 
 He's never sad - Father's Pride 

 Here he comes Mother's Pride 
 Here he comes Father's Pride 
 Here he comes Mother's Pride 
 Father's Pride 
 His Mother's Pride
