I found myself at the park the other day humming the song "I've Got A Dream" from the movie "Tangled." At what point can you turn that stuff off? But then I realized, my dreams were much different than the ones in the movie. Rapunzel wants to escape her tower, find the floating lanterns and true love. I want something much different... more basic.
So for all you Disney movie watching moms out there, this one is for you.
I'VE GOT A MOMMY DREAM
Mama One:
I'm a stay at home house fairy
My looks could curdle dairy
And after changin' Pull-Ups, my hands are not the cleanest
But despite my haggard look
My dirty clothes and kiddie gook
I've always yearned to be The Perfect Mommy
Can'tcha see me using words that are always happy?
Tickling kids toes with eyes in a delightful gleam?
Yep, I'm okay being called smelly
For my blue cheese appetizer medley
Thank you!
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream
Mommy Chorus:
She's got a dream!
See's got a dream!
Mama One: See, I ain't as scatter brained as I seem!
Though I do like kids really high night fevers
You can count me with those 8-hour dreamers
Like everybody else
I've got a dream!
Mama Two:
I've got scars and lumps and a tummy jiggle
Plus arms that sometimes do a solo wiggle
And let's not even mention my dull complexion
But despite my badly chipped toes
My raggedy jeans, and my toddler's runny nose
I really want to make a love connection
Can't you see me on a date with my hubby
Rowin' in a rowboat down the stream?
Though I've got permanent baby weight angst
I want love, not Spanx --
'Cause way down deep inside
I've got a dream
I've got a dream!
Mommy Chorus:
She's got a dream!
Mama Two: I've got a dream!
Mommy Chorus: She's got a dream!
Mama Two:
And I know one day romance will reign supreme!
Though my kids only hear me screaming
There's a hot mama in me, dreaming --
Like everybody else
I've got a dream
Mommy Chorus:
Every neighbor will think you are a florist
TV shows will cover your home design
Your carpools will run like clocks on time
Moms rave about your cupcakes sublime
Sweaters are only hand-knit
You darn socks, even sew
Throw neighborhood puppet shows
Mama One: I'll even rescue three racetrack greyhounds!
Mama Three: I have dreams, like you -- no, really!
Just much less touchy-feely
They mainly happen somewhere
warm and sunny
In a blessed no kids zone
Tanned and rested and alone
Surrounded by issues of VOGUE and DVDs of "Sex in The City".
Mama Four:
I've got a dream!
Mommy Chorus:
She's got a dream!
Mommy Four: I've got a dream!
Mommy Chorus: She's got a dream!
Mommy Four:
I just want to feel as young as Miley Cyrus seems!
Mommy Chorus: Yeahh!
Mommy Four:
And with every passing hour
I just want to take a shower --
Like all you lovely folks
I've got a dream!
Mommy Chorus: She's got a dream!
She's got a dream!
We've got a dream!
We've got a dream!
So our diff 'rences ain't
really that extreme!
We're one big Mommy Team...!
Call us Tired --
Frazzled --
Mama One:
Housework Allergic--
Mama Two: We're really not that Out of It
Mommy Chorus: 'Cause way down deep inside
We've got a dream!
Mama One:
I've got a dream!
Mama Two:
I've got a dream!
Mommy Chorus: I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!
I've got a dream!
Mommy Four: I've got a dream!
All: Yes way down deep
inside, I've got a dream!
Yeahh!
