Mom Is Not My Real Name © Tina deVaron You make the costumes — You dye the eggs Hang the decorations — Bake the cake And in between — you work for pay When you get tired of standing up sister sit down and say Mom Is Not My Real Name Mom Is Not My Real Name There’s somebody else I used to be With the name my Mama gave to me Now I — won’t walk away If there’s trouble at school Or you had a bad day But you oughtta know I have a life it’s got Room for everything and by the way ... . Mom Is Not My Real Name Mom Is Not My Real Name There’s somebody else I used to be With the name my Mama gave to me (rap) I’m walkin down — Fifth Avenue A woman pushin a stroller uptown — comes into view And she’s thin and she’s blond and she’s beautiful She’s got cheekbones — like a movie star She’s got that new Mother glow, y’know? And she looks so rested. And I wonder — as she passes me, pushin that stroller When her babies get just a little bit older And she’s stirring the oatmeal, and she’s doing the dishes, And she’s wiping noses, washing out lunchboxes, cleaning out backpacks, Answering phone mail, answering voicemail, answering email, Answering children — Mom? What, Answering children — Mom? What, Answering children — Mom? What! Will she find herself saying Mom Is Not My Real Name, Mom Is Not My Real Name There’s somebody else I used to be With the name my Mama gave to me Mom Is Not My Real Name ...

Magic Year (free) 03:06
That was a magic year You caught your first touchdown We stood in the bleachers Laughing and crying Coach hadn’t played you He thought you weren’t trying He gave you this break And now here you were flying I can still hear the cheers Yeah that was a magic That was a magic year And speaking of magic years Just before your fifth birthday You boarded the school bus Mouthing I love you Who would have guessed you’d Ride off to a teacher Who saw the world your way Had your sense of humour And made you forget your tears Yeah she was magic And that was a magic year Oh — I get it — when I take the long view We get to share part of this miracle here with you This is a magic year We sit down to supper At our little table Our little group You tell how your day was We laugh and we listen And know come September We’ll try not to miss you But it’ll be quiet around here And it’s never been so clear This is a magic, this is a magic This is a magic year
