Subject: Beautiful South — ‘Mother’s Pride’
Mother’s Pride
By Paul Heaton and David Rotheray
G Am
Here he comes — Mother’s Pride
G Am
With the first ever satchel she bought him swinging by his side
G Am
Here he comes Mother’s Pride
G Am
With a headful of ‘get your laces tied’ and ‘woe betide’
F C
With a year’s supply of sandwiches and fairy cakes
F C
That she provides for him to eat at dinner breaks
F Am G
It’s no suprise at all, at all the friends he makes
Am
His stomach aches
G
He’s Mother’s Pride
Am C
He’s presentable, well looked after
F C
He’s domestically disastrous
F G C
He’s adorable — Mother’s Pride
C Dm
Here he comes — Father’s Pride
C Dm
With a head filled up with devil dogs and genocide
C Dm
Here he comes — Father’s Pride
C Dm
He’s showing all the kids his tickets for ringside
Bb F
He’ll always roam the yard looking for a fight
Bb F
He’ll pick on all the kids who’re twice his height
Bb Dm C
He’s the reason dinner ladies toss and turn at night
Dm C
Teacher’s Blight — Father’s Pride
Dm F
He’s the image of his Dad
Bb F
Mickey Mouse meets Jack the Lad
Bb C F
He’s never sad — Father’s Pride
G Am
G Am
Here he comes Mother’s Pride
Here he comes Father’s Pride
Here he comes Mother’s Pride
Father’s Pride
His Mother’s Pride
