Mother Tongue Lyrics

Mother Tongue lyrics

You barely touched the broccoli on your dinner plate 
Well, alright just one bite and you can stay up late 
Don`t tease the baby; you`ll make him cry 
Because I`m the mother, that`s why 
 
chorus 
Don`t fight 
I`ve got eyes in the back of my head. 
These are things my mother`s mother`s 
mother`s mother said 
I learned the language when I was very young 
Lately I`ve been talking in 
the mother tongue 
 
Take off your muddy shoes Put the cat down 
Here`s a tissue; blow your noseP ut the cat down 
What did you say? Where`d you learn that? 
Come back here when I`m talking 
Let go of that cat. 
 
chorus  
 
Behave at your Grandma`s 
Be good when I leave 
Wipe your nose again-- no, not your sleeve 
What`s on your cheek? Let me get it 
Don`t have a fit 
It`s just a little mommy spit
