Camille West - Mother Tongue lyrics

You barely touched the broccoli on your dinner plate Well, alright just one bite and you can stay up late Don't tease the baby; you'll make him cry Because I'm the mother, that's why Don't fight I've got eyes in the back of my head These are things my mother's mother's Mother's mother said I learned the language when I was very young Lately I've been talking in The mother tongue Take off your muddy shoes Put the cat down Here's a tissue; blow your noseP ut the cat down What did you say? Where'd you learn that? Come back here when I'm talking Let go of that cat Behave at your Grandma's Be good when I leave Wipe your nose again-- no, not your sleeve What's on your cheek? Let me get it Don't have a fit It's just a little mommy spit
