Mother's Pride - The Beautiful South

Here he comes, mother’s pride

With the first ever satchel she bought him swinging by his side

Here he comes, mother’s pride

With a headful of 'Get your laces tied' and 'Woe betide'

With a year’s supply of sandwiches and fairy cakes

That she provides for him to eat at dinner breaks

It’s no surprise at all, at all the friends he makes

His stomach aches (He's mother’s pride)

He’s presentable, well looked after

He’s domestically disastrous

He’s adorable;

Mother’s pride

Here he comes, father’s pride

With a head filled up with devil dogs and genocide

Here he comes, father’s pride

He’s showing all the kids his tickets for ringside

He’ll always roam the yard looking for a fight

He’ll pick on all the kids who’re twice his height

He’s the reason dinner ladies toss and turn at night

Teacher’s blight (Father's pride)

He’s the image of his dad

Mickey Mouse meets Jack the Lad

He’s never sad;

Father’s pride

Here he comes, mother’s pride

Here he comes, father’s pride

Here he comes, mother’s pride

Father’s pride…

His mother’s pride…
