Paul Heaton - Mother's Pride lyrics

[Verse 1] 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' [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 all the friends he makes His stomach aches, he's mother's pride [Chorus 1] He's presentable, well looked after He's domestically disastrous He's adorable; Mother's pride [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 2] He's the image of his dad Mickey Mouse meets Jack the Lad He's never sad; Father's pride [Outro] 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...
