Busy Woman

Hey there, sleepy dreamer
I just wanna say; I love you loads
You stupid sod
Well here goes - another day (mum!)
Mum! (Mum!)
Mum! (Mum!)
Mum! (Mum!)
Mum!

Where's my, where's my
Can't find my things
Why is it always me?
Mum, mum, mum, mum!
Mum, mum, mum, mum!

Every morning, same routine
We play our little family game
No-one knows where nothin' is
But guess who always gets the blame
Mum (mum!)
Mum (mum!)
Mum (mum!)
Mum!

Rita, I can't find my favourite underpants
I had to shoot 'em
You shot my underpants?
Yeah, I had to put 'em out of their misery
What?
In the airing cupboard!

If you want something done
Ask a busy woman
'Cause you're wasting your time
Asking a man

She can do in one hour
What he can't do in ten
It's the basic effin' difference
Between us and effin' them
If you want it done
Then ask a busy woman

Mum, what do you want for Christmas?
An hour off
Biology homework?
What are you doing Graham's homework for?
A shilling. For a shilling
She wants to be a doctor (ha-ha)
Girls are nurses, Sharon. That's why we got you that nurse's outfit
I want to be a consultant gastroenterologist
You're just saying that

We love you Dagenham Dagenham
With your parks and waterfronts
Oh, Dagenham, Dagenham
So good they named it once

Stop it, Eddie - you're making us late

Oh! Dagenham, Dagenham
With your ancient bylaws
Rome wasn't built in a day
But Dagenham definitely was

Cup of tea eh, doll?
Yes please, I'd love a cup of tea
Is life like this everywhere?

If you want something done
Ask a busy woman
'Cause you're wasting your time
Asking a man

She can do in one hour
What he can't do in ten
It's the basic effin' difference
Between us and effin' them
If you want it done then
Ask a busy woman

Urgh!
What's the matter?
It's spit!
This ain't spit, this is mother's spit

Mother's spit!
Mother's saliva!
Ain't no germ
That can survive her!

Oi, come here
Show me your hand
He's hit you again hasn't he?

Bastard!
Mum! It don't hurt
Bastard!

Eddie, Graham's getting caned at school, Mr Buckton-

Bastard!

He's paid to teach him Latin, not attack him with a stick
They can't treat him any differently just 'cos he's a scholarship boy

Don't come into school, mum!
Oh, ashamed of me are you?
Yes!
Look out Dad, mum's gone into one!

Alright Eddie
Yeah
What's today?

Think, whirr, click, click, whirr
Tuesday
Tuesday?
Think again, whirr, click, click, durr

Innit?
Is it a special tuesday?

Remember, you member

Pancake day?
Go to work, you big lump
Love you

Every year, the same routine
We play our anniversary game
He forgets
And I remember
The day I took his
Stupid name

Shut the door, were you born in a barn?
Wipe those boots, you don't live on a farm
How did your last servant die?
Why? Because I said, that's why
Eat your greens or you won't grow
There's kids starving in Africa, you know
Beds ain't made for jumping on
You'll all miss me when I'm gone

If you want something done
Ask a busy woman
She's got more energy
Than the sun
She's always there no matter what
If you lose your key or lose the plot
The strength of a rhino
The patience of a nun
It ain't no sprint it's a marathon

Every loving minute
Of every loving day
Tests our loving nature
In every loving way
Mothers, sisters, daughters
Loving you we say

We got this feeling
This wonderful feeling
It's gonna be another
Kiddy hugging, heart tugging
Tea slugging
Ever loving
Mother loving working day
If you want it done then ask a busy woman
