M-O-T-H-E-R (A WORD THAT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME)
Writers Howard Johnson, Theodore Morse
I've been around the world, you bet, but never went to school Hard knocks are all I seem to get, perhaps I've been a fool; But still, some educated folks, supposed to be so swell, Would fail if they were called upon a simple word to spell. Now if you'd like to put me to the test, There's one dear name that I can spell the best! M is for the million things she gave me O means only that she's growing old T is for the tears she shed to save me H is for her heart of purest gold E is for her eyes with love-light shining R means right and right she'll always be Put them all together they spell MOTHER, a word that means the world to me. When I was but a baby, long before I learned to walk, While lying in my cradle, I would try my best to talk; It wasn't long before I spoke and all the neighbors heard, My folks were very proud of me for Mother was the word. Although I'll never lay a claim to fame, I'm satisfied that I can spell the name: M is for the mercy she possesses O means that I owe her all I own T is for her tender, sweet caresses H is for her hands that made a home E means ev'rything she's done to help me R means real and regular, you see Put them all together they spell MOTHER, a word that means the world to me.
