Happy Mother’s Day to You!

Gaggle: RochesterSoFlo
Tune: Ten Little Indians

Here’s a song for all you mothers,And you sisters and you brothers,
Aunts and uncles, all you others,
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

Mothers should not raise their sons
To play with war toys or with guns.
Killing’s sad for everyone!
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

There are mothers in Iraq
Who wish they had their children back,
But now they mourn and dress in black.
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

We are here to sing of peace
And hope that wars forever cease.
Let us not be led like geese.
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

One billion, two billion, three billion dollars,
Wasted on war if we don’t holler:
“You can go but we won’t follow!”
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

As mothers we must show the way,
So let us pledge on this great day:
From the path of peace we will not stray!
Happy Mother’s Day to you!
