Lyrics:

(Verse 1:)

I’m chewing some gum, the taste is fantastic

I keep blowing bubbles ‘til my tongue is all elastic

The flavor is gone, there is no doubt

The gum is getting hard, so I’ve got to spit it out

(Chorus:)

[spoken:] What do I do? [sung:]

I’ve gotta hand it to Mom – yeah, yeah

She’s really the best. She cleans up my mess

I’ve gotta hand it to Mom!

(Verse 2:)

I’m eating a banana. It tastes so yummy

Man oh manna, it’s filling my tummy

I’m through with the fruit. It was a great snack

But now I have the peel and I want to give it back

(Verse 3:)

This cold is getting bad. My nose is all runny

My older sister laughs, she thinks it’s really funny

There’s snot on my shirt, that’s the issue

I tried to clean it up, but I’ve got this gross tissue

(Bridge:)

Finally, Mom just lost it!

She gave me the trash and she told me to toss it.

She said, “You know, honey, I’m your biggest fan

But I am not your garbage can!”

(Final Chorus:)

I’ve gotta hand it to Mom – yeah, yeah (x2)

She’s really the best. She puts me to the test

I’ve gotta hand it to Mom! (3x) Yeah!
