Lyrics
Who's there to keep us clean
Expressing the role of someone in keeping things tidy and orderly.
To ask us how our day has been
Asking about our well-being and how our day went.
To wash our face, do up our lace
Taking care of personal grooming tasks and helping with dressing.
Protect us if someone is being mean
Being a protective figure when someone is unkind.
Well, it's our Mum
Acknowledging that the person referred to is our mother.
Who's there to tuck us in
Taking care of bedtime routines like tucking in.
Remind us to use the rubbish bin
Reminding us to dispose of waste properly.
To cook our tea, to kiss our knee
Providing meals and offering comfort when we get hurt.
When it got scraped while climbing up a tree?
Offering care and affection when we experience minor injuries.
Well, it's our Mum
Reiterating that the person mentioned is our mother.
Who's there to catch us when we fall?
Being there to support and catch us when we face challenges.
Who's there to watch us do a handstand against the wall?
Observing and cheering for us during physical activities.
Who's there to wipe away our tears
Providing emotional support by comforting us when we cry.
Or to sew back on our Teddy Bear's ears?
Repairing and taking care of our cherished possessions.
Well it's our Mum
Reaffirming the identity of the person as our mother.
Who's there to tickle our toes
Engaging in playful activities like tickling our toes.
To wipe our very snotty nose
Handling the less glamorous aspects of caring for a child.
To make our bed, to keep us fed
Tending to daily responsibilities like making the bed and ensuring proper nutrition.
To change us when we've chosen our own clothes?
Dealing with the challenges of a child wanting to choose their own clothes.
Well it's our Mum
Confirming the maternal figure in these nurturing activities.
Who's there to hurry us
Urging us to move quickly when we're running late.
When we are late for the school bus
Providing education and fostering creativity through imaginative play.
To teach us things, to make us wings
Encouraging the pursuit of knowledge and creativity.
And capes and other dress-up kind of things?
Supporting imaginative play with items like wings and capes.
