The Beautiful South - Mother's Pride lyrics

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
