The day here has finally dawned,
I've awoken, stretched, rubbed eyes, and yawned,
It's the first day of May,
The day here has finally dawned,
I've awoken, stretched, rubbed eyes, and yawned,
It's the first day of May,
And it won't go away
Until tomorrow when a new day is spawned.
It's lunchtime and my stomach is growling
It's lunchtime and my stomach is growling,
The food's burning, the baby is howling,
To hell with the cooking
At the cafe I'm looking
It's lunchtime and my stomach is growling,
The food's burning, the baby is howling,
To hell with the cooking
At the cafe I'm looking
At the waiter I'll smile, no more scowling.
My cooking leaves too much to be desired
My cooking leaves much to be desired
And my Philippine helper's retired (true!)
I can fry a rare steak
But don't ask me to bake...

I can fry a rare steak
But don't ask me to bake
For baking, a chef is required.
I've just dined and am hungry no more
I've just dined and am hungry no more

But, Mom's work must be done
So an end to this fun

Two sat to dine
One was hers, one was mine

A haddock for her, cod for me.
Fish 'n'chips goes straight to the hips
Fish 'n'chips goes straight to the hips
though only a moment on the lips
and the thighs and the stomach
you become a fat lummock

you become a fat lummock
And the graph of your weight suffers blips
Had a bath in my new Bathausstattung
Can see this maybe forming a pattern
(okay, you have to say it quickly!)

Can see this maybe forming a pattern
They scraped me with pumice
And caked me with hummus

Can see this maybe forming a pattern
They scraped me with pumice
And caked me with hummus
But now I am stuck to the matting.
Just a regular shower in the morning
Just a regular shower in the morning
suffices for me when the dawn's in
I've no time to wallow

suffices for me when the dawn's in
I've no time to wallow
A quick coffee to swallow
Can't take a full brek without warning.
