Unveiling the Invisible Hero: A Mother's Full-Time Symphony
Lyrics
I'm a Mother, I'm a lover
I have roles as a mother and a lover
A chef, a referee
I also act as a chef and a referee
I'm a Doctor and a chauffeur, seven days a week
Additionally, I function as a doctor and a chauffeur, seven days a week
I ain't asking for a medal, yea, I know you work too
I'm not asking for recognition, acknowledging your work too
I'd just like a little credit where credit is due
I just want some credit for what I do
It's the hardest gig I've known, I work my fingers to the bone
Describing the difficulty of her responsibilities, working tirelessly
Yea, the dishes and the diapers never stop
Household chores like dishes and dealing with diapers are constant
Lousy pay, there ain't no 401k
Despite the hard work, the pay is minimal, and there's no retirement plan (401k)
I know this may come as a shock
Acknowledging that others may be surprised by the intensity of her responsibilities
But this here's a full time job
Summing up her various roles as a full-time job
Well I'm takin' a vacation
Expressing the need for a break or time off
I could use a little fun
Desire for some enjoyable and relaxing moments
I'll be sippin' on the silence
Planning to enjoy the quiet and bask in the sunlight
And soaking up the sun
Indicating a desire for a break from the routine
I'm leavin' you my apron
Symbolically handing over her responsibilities with the apron
You can try it on for size
Suggesting that others can try on her roles for size
You said there's nothing to it
Referencing earlier assurance that the tasks are easy
So I'm sure you'll be fine
Expecting others to manage well in her absence
It's the hardest gig I've known, I work my fingers to the bone
Reiteration of the challenging nature of her responsibilities
Yea, the dishes and the diapers never stop
Continuation of the unending tasks like dishes and diapers
Lousy pay, there ain't no 401k
Reiteration of the low pay and absence of a retirement plan
I know this may come as a shock but this here's a full time job
Reiterating that her roles constitute a full-time job
In a day or maybe two
Predicting that others will realize the difficulty of her roles
You'll be changing your tune
Anticipating a change in perspective after experiencing her responsibilities
By then you'll be ready to drop
Expecting others to feel overwhelmed and exhausted
Working my full time job
Emphasizing the demanding nature of her full-time job
This here's a full time job
Reiteration that her roles constitute a full-time job
