Lyrics
“Superheroes (Moms Are the Bomb)”
Life, as a child, can be unfathomable
Two and two don’t always equal four
Emotions run wild, it’s understandable
No matter how much you learn, there’s always more
Someone true will help you through
(Mom!) Who knows just what to say when you’ve been cryin’?
(Mom!) Whose magic heals when you thought you were dyin’?
Who’s got the cure when you’re in need?
(Mom!) Who’s strong enough to let you climb the big walls
(Mom!) And swoops right in to pick you up when you fall
A Nightingale with superspeed
And when you grow up, (I know) it’s unimaginable
Age and wisdom don’t go hand in hand
Try as you might, though your efforts be admirable
Things don’t always turn out like you planned
(Who? Who? Who? Who?…)
But there’s someone true looking out for you
(Mom!) Who knows when you are fakin’ or you’re tryin’?
(Mom!) The look upon your face when been lyin’?
Immune to your tomfoolery
Predicts the weather, never measures, always cuts straight
Can see through walls and always knows when you come home late
With superhuman sensory
No searchlight, no code ring nor trouble alert
No ad in the paper to say you’ve been hurt
When you need somebody to come save the day
You own superhero’s a phone call away
(Mom!) Who always takes the time to show ya she cares
(Mom!) And when you’re in a bind, you know she’ll be there
She always knows just what you need
(Mom!) Who shows up with a shoulder you can cry on?
(Mom!) A smiling face you know you can rely on?
A superhero, yes, indeed!
(Mom!) Who never lets you go to school lookin’ like Pig-Pen?
(Mom!) But still cleans up the mess you got yourself in?
There when you need her, your forever cheerleader
