[Lyric] The Work Song (The Beanies)

My mum puts on a suit and grabs a suitcase
Stops her square pizza goin’ all over the place
Well, my mum runs ev’ry tuckshop on the Earth
She gets me all my food for free
My mum takes a submarine each day
To feed the Loch Ness Monster, check that she’s okay
Well my mum’s great, for what it’s worth
She’s workin’ really hard for me

I’m not lying, I swear it’s true
I would never tell a lie to you
It’s what our parents do ev’ry day
They go to work while we go play!

My dad looks after lions and bears
He brushes their teeth and he combs their hair
Well, my dad’s got so many brains in his head
He needs a tie to keep it on
My dad teaches T-Rexes to dance
How to tap their big feet and shake their little hands
Well my dad’s great, that’s what I said
I’m thinkin’ of him while he’s gone
I’m not lying, I swear it’s true
I would never tell a lie to you
I think that my parents rule
They go to work while we go to school!

My parents climb mountains!
My parents make trees!
My parents invented crackers and cheese!
My parents write operas!
My parents race snails!
My mum and dad sing lullabies for whales!

My folks painted the Opera House white
Keepin’ it clean and shining bright
Well, my folks count all the cornflakes in the box
So ev’rybody gets their share
My folks tie ropes down at the bay
To stop Tasmania floating away
I love my folks from their head to their socks
Even if they’re not always there
They’re working hard ‘cause they care
