Mother's Pride

by Paul Heaton and David Rotheray

G Am

Here he comes - Mother's Pride

G Am

With the first ever satchel she bought him swinging by his side

G Am

Here he comes Mother's Pride

G Am

With a headful of 'get your laces tied' and 'woe betide'

F C

With a year's supply of sandwiches and fairy cakes

F C

That she provides for him to eat at dinner breaks

F Am G

It's no suprise at all, at all the friends he makes

Am

His stomach aches

G

he's Mother's Pride

Am C

He's presentable, well looked after

F C

He's domestically disastrous

F G C

He's adorable - Mother's Pride

C Dm

Here he comes - Father's Pride

C Dm

With a head filled up with devil dogs and genocide

C Dm

Here he comes - Father's Pride

C Dm

He's showing all the kids his tickets for ringside

Bb F

He'll always roam the yard looking for a fight

Bb F

He'll pick on all the kids who're twice his height

Bb Dm C

He's the reason dinner ladies toss and turn at night

Dm C

Teacher's Blight - Father's Pride

Dm F

He's the image of his Dad

Bb F

Mickey Mouse meets Jack the Lad

Bb C F

He's never sad - Father's Pride

G Am

G Am

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
