Oh by the way... !

We listen to lots of music in our house and car. I get tired of some of the silly songs they have for kds out there. One that we all kinda like though is:

Jumpin' Joe Scruggs

So we all know how kids are... right?

Oh, by the way...one of my favorite songs he sings goes like this:

Oh by the way...

It's Monday morning, I'm running late there's not a minute to spare

Mom calls out, 'come on let's go' as she finishes drying her hair.

Now I'm in my place with a smile on my face just thinking about my day

Then I think of some things I'm supposed to bring, and that's when I say...

Dear, mom.... oh by the way

I need an orange juice can, 4 cotton balls and 6 rubberbands

and by the way I'm an angel in the play, I'm gonna sing and I need some wings.

Well I guess I've induced some stress mom's smile begins to fade

and she runs to the kitchen and digs though the trash for the can from the lemonade.

Now I start to protest but she's doing her best so then I try to make it right...

I say, I need everything by 8:15. BUT I don't need the wings till tonight.

Oh by the way, I need an ORANGE juice can, if it's lemonade will the teacher understand?

And by the way they're having meatloaf today,

if you don't mind a bunch... I'm gonna need a lunch.

Sometimes I just don't believe how resourceful mom's can be.

She gets the cotton balls and the rubberbands from her vanity.

I've got a lemonade can not quite the right brand, but mom says 'It will do.'

Then we're out of the door it's 7:54, I won't be late for school.

Oh by the way, meatloaf is better than it seems...

for my lunch mom packed a can of sardines.

And for the play it's sisters costume from ballet I'm gonna sing in her butterfly wings.
