From the recording Mother's Mother's Day Song
My mother was tickled when I played this recording for her on Mother’s Day. She never tired playing this for her sister’s, who were a wee bit envious!
Lyrics
Mother’s Mother’s Day Song by John Agacki
One and two - buckle my shoe
Three and four - John, close that door!
Five and six - you learned all my tricks
Seven and eight - John, clean up your plate!
Nine and ten, let's play it again!
When will we get there, when, oh, when?
On Mother's Day, Mother's Day
We show our love on Mother's Day!
Patty cake, patty cake, baker's mom
Oatmeal cookies right from the pan
Wee Willy Winky, my son John
Pick up your coat and put your cap on!
Cleaning my nose, washing my close
When do they find time? God, only knows!
Mother's Day, Mother's Day
We show our love on Mother's Day!
Then comes the time when we are all grown
Leaving the house, going out on our own
Doing our best with the seeds that we've sown
But carry your love in our hearts and our home
Then once a year we try to make clear
All of the reasons we hold you so dear
Whether we're far or whether we're near
On Mother's Day, on Mother's Day!
Mother's Day, Mother's Day
We show our love on Mother's Day
Mother's Day, Mother's Day
We show our love on Mother's Day!
