The Mom BITS by Anita Renfroe

"The Mom" BITS by Anita Renfroe

"The Mom" song, sung to the William Tell Overture, by Anita Renfroe.

What a mom says in 24 hours, condensed into 2 minutes and 55 seconds! Hilarious and talented!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxT5NwQUtVM 28 set. 2007

STEP 1 

Read the 13 bits of the MOM's song and listen to your partner's anwser.

Example:

1) Get up now, Get up now. Get up out of bed

Wash your face, Brush your teeth. Comb your sleepyhead  Let me stay, let me stay in bed a little more Wait a sec, wait a sec, hey don't slam the door! Here're my shoes and my clothes, yes, I heard your words, leave my room, I shall get dressed alone!

"The Mom Song"

1) Get up nowGet up nowGet up out of bedWash your faceBrush your teethComb your sleepyhead 

2) Here's your clothes and your shoes. Hear the words I said. Get up now! Get up and make your bed. Are you hot? Are you cold? Are you wearing that? 

Where's your books and your lunch and your homework at?Grab your coat and gloves and your scarf and hat. Don't forget! You gotta feed the cat 

3) Eat your breakfast, the experts tell us it's the most important meal of all. 

Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall.  Please remember the dentist will be seeing you at 3 today. Don't forget your piano lesson is this afternoon so you must play 

4) Chew slowly ... But hurry. The bus is here. Be careful.  Come back here: Did you wash behind your ears? 

5) Play outside, don't play rough, will you just play fair? Be polite, make a friend, don't forget to share. Work it out, wait your turn. Get along! Don't make me come down there 

Clean your room, fold your clothes, put your pants away. Make your bed, do it now, do we have all day? Were you born in a barn? Would you like some hay? Can you even hear a word I say? 

6) Answer the phone! Get off the phone!Don't sit so close, turn it down, no texting at the tableNo more computer time tonight!Your iPod's my iPod if you don't listen up

7) Where are you going and with whom and what time do you think you're coming home?Saying  "thank you, please",  "excuse me" makes you welcome everywhere you go round 

8) You'll appreciate my wisdom someday when you're older and you're grownCan't wait till you have a couple little children of your own9) You'll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willinglyBut right now I thank you not to make funny faces at me 10) Close your mouth when you chew, would appreciateTake a bite maybe two of the food you hateUse your fork, Eat the food I put upon your plateGet an A, get the door,  get in here, I'll count to threeGet a job, get a life, get a Master degree 

11) "I don't care who started it!  You're punished until you're 36"Get your story straight and tell the truth for onceAnd if all your friends jumped off a roof would you jump, too?  If I've said it once, I've said at least a thousand times before

12) That you're too old to act this way, It must be your dad's DNA.  Look at me when I am talking, Stand up straighter when you walk. A place for everything and everything must be in place

13) Stop crying or I'll give you something real to cry about...Brush your teeth, wash your face, put your PJs onGet in bed, get a hug, Don't forget, I love you

Tomorrow we will do this all again 'cos a mom's work never endsYou don't need the reason why, Because, I said so. I am the mom

        Let me stay, let me stay in bed a little more

Wait a sec, wait a sec, hey don't slam the door! Here're my shoes and my clothes, yes, I heard your words, leave my room, I shall get dressed alone! 

I'm not hot, I'm not cold, yes, I'm wearing that. Here are my books and my lunch, but, what homework, mum? I'll get mi coat and gloves, not that silly hat I won't forget I gotta feed the cat. 

I know breakfast is very important, you repeat that every single day I take so many vitamins I'll end up playing in the NBA I bet having some nice free time will be what I will finally forget I remember my piano lessons, but again, when d'you want me to play? 

Too fast or too slowly, come on mum, you're stressing me don't make me go back in, otherwise the bus I'll miss.(I) play outside, (I) don't play rough, (I) never play unfair,  I make thousands of friends and I always share. 

Mum, you scare me so much I would never dare, In a mo' I'll be right up there.I will soon tidy up the pile on my bed, I'm just saying bye bye to my facebook friends. Give me one, give me two, give me three more secs, It'll be done before you might expect.

No way! I won't get off the phone! I'm in the middle of a very important conversation. 

What wrong am I doing in the chat? Hey, don't take my ipod, I am listening up. 

• Well I'm going out with some friends, I don't know where, but that won't take long. I say thank you, please, excuse, I am welcome everywhere I go. 
• I'll appreciate your wisdom someday when I'm older and I'm grown, I can't wait till I'm independent living somewhere on my own. 
• I'll thank you for the counsel you gave me so willingly, but right now I'll thank you not to throw your spells at me!

If I keep my mouth closed I may lose my breath, didn't notice the cold I've just caught today? For the next half an hour give me just a break,why this rush! Are we missing a train? 

Come on mum, take it easy and let me live, get a rest, get a nap, don't count to three. Meanwhile I'll get a shower and watch TV.But, hey! My brother started it! Why grounded! What's the wrong thing I did? I get my story straight, I haven't lied not even once today. 

• And, if all my friends go out tonight, I will go too!
• If I've said it once I've said it at least one thousand times before!
• I'm acting according to my age, I'm not fifty, haven't you noticed yet? I look at you when you are talking, can't I walk the way I want? (There's) a place for every shout, and every shout must me in place! 
• Stop making up more reasons just to tell me off out loud!
• Well I'm going to bed, have a good night mum,
• thanks for all the advice, also for the cash. Don't forget I love you. 

But- tomorrow please don't do this all again, let's all relax, it's Saturday! And I do need a reason why,

because, because, because, because, I say so, I say so, I say so, I say so!I'm the child, the child, the child, the child. The child! Ta-daaaa!
