Mum please
But they’re so cool
Look they flash!
Mum, don’t be so cruel

You have thirty pounds
I saw it in that bill
When you counted out the coppers
For the lady on the till

Red lights mum, look!
Please mum don’t be tight
I won’t play footie in them
I won’t let them out of sight

Mum why do you look sad?
Is it because you want them too?
Cheer up mum come on
You never get me anything new

I won’t ask for anything else
Even on my birthday, nothing…
Yes! Thanks mum your the best
I knew you were only playing

Size 3s please
In white and blue
No-ones got these
I’m gonna look well cool

Hold on
Why did you put that handbag down?
You said you saved up for it
Mum, that’s why we came to town

Ok, how do I look?
Mum? Don’t you like them?
They’re well mint
That handbag though..
You’ve wanted that since way back when

When I wanted the lion king video
You put the handbag down
When my bike broke
You put the handbag down
That time I wanted Gregg’s
Again you put the handbag down
No mum,
Not this time around

That handbag is nicer
It brings out your eyes
I want to make you smile mum
You always say it’s ok
Though you tell me its wrong to lie

I wish I was that kid again mum
I wish you never had to lie
Mum you did so much for us
Yet we never even tried.
