Mothers are special
Mothers are special
When you're sad
(When you're sad)

Mothers are special
Mothers are special
When you're sad
(When you're sad)

Mothers are special
Mothers are special
So be glad
(So be glad)

That mothers are special
Mothers are special
When you're sad
(When you're sad)

Mothers are clever
Mothers are clever
When you get made fun of at school
They'll tell you them bullies are jealous and stupid
'Cuz you're so cool
(You're so cool)
Mothers are helpful
Mothers are helpful
When it's time to go to prom
They'll give you a condom and a shot of Binaca
And say you're the bomb (You're the bomb)

And when you write a stupid song about 'em
That you perform in front of lots of people
They will not censor any word or phrase
And when the song tanks, they'll still offer praise

Because mothers are liars
Wonderful liars
When your career is up in smoke
They'll tell you you're funny
Even when they don't even get the joke (Get the joke)

Mothers are wizards
Generous wizards
When you don't have money to go to the doctor
To clear up the problem you got from your girlfriend
When you did that thing that you're never gonna do again

And when you write a stupid song about 'em
That you perform in front of lots of people
They'll maybe disapprove a little and grit their teeth
But they will understand what's underneath
Because mothers are brilliant
Hopelessly brilliant
Every day (Every day)
'Cause they love you so much
That they will tolerate all
The silly crap you say (Crap you say)

Mothers are patient
Endlessly patient
With their kid
(With their kid)
And hopefully mine will know the joy that it is
To have the mom I did

Everybody!

Mothers are special
Mothers are special
When you're sad
(When you're sad)

Mothers are special
Mothers are special
When you're sad
(Your mom would sing along)
Mothers are special
Mothers are special
Brand new rhyme
(Brand new rhyme)
Sing it with me

Mothers are special
Mothers are special
All the time!
(All the time!)
Now you see where I was going

Mothers are special
So friggin' special
All the time!
