Mother’s Day in the Johnson House

It’s Mother’s Day in the Johnson house
That’s six different kids from three different mothers
Mother’s Day in the Johnson house
And Carrie’s about to become another

There’s four kids with Marina
And one with Helen
Another one about which
He’s just not tellin’
And one on the way
That’ll make seven
Its Mother’s Day alright

Its Mother’s Day in the Johnson house
She’s a successful painter who’s 77
Mother’s Day in the Johnson house
Looking forward to an expensive present

He said “Not just a card,
Not just flowers”
I’m going to exercise
Emergency powers
People won’t see their mums
But I might see ours
Its Mother’s Day alright

Its Mother’s Day in the Johnson house
And staying away is good advice
Mother’s Day in the Johnson house
This year’s could come with a heavy price
It’s Mother’s Day alright.
