Mama Always Comes Home [text]
1. In a softly feathered nest, a mama bird and hatchlings rest. Mama always does her best to keep her babies fed.
2. But all the little birdies cry when Mama says she has to fly.
3. But all the little birdies cry when Mama says she has to fly. She cuddles each and chirps, "Good-bye,"then tucks them into bed. She goes to dig up worms, and then Mama Bird flies home again.
4. Mama always comes home. One a cozy bed of hay, a barn cat and her kittens lay. Mama Cat must go away to have her morning snack.
5. Her kittens cry to see her go because they love their mama so. She kisses all and purrs, "Please know I'll soon be coming back." She goes to sip sweet cream, and then Mama Cat strolls home again.
6. Mama always comes home. Puppies play out in the sun. They yip and yelp, they yap and run. Mama Dog joins in the fun until she's called away.
7. She snuggles all before she goes and licks each puppy on the nose. She tells them all to try to doze. But they whine, "Mama, stay!" She goes to see her boy, and then Mama Dog runs home again.
8. Mama always comes home. Mama Dolphin in the sea,
9. Mama Chipmunk in the tree, clever Mama Chimpanzee,
10. and big old Mama Bear. Mama Gopher in her hole,
11. teensy-weensy Mama Mole, Mama Pony with her foal,
12. Mamas everywhere! They leave their little ones, but then... They hurry right back home again.
13. Mamas always come home.
14. In a chair all cozy snug, a mama gives her child a hug. She says, "I love you, cuddle bug, but now I have to go."
15. Her child cries, "Don't go away!" And Mama says, "I want to stay, but while I'm gone have fun and play," and soon, before you know, time will fly right by, and then I'll be coming home again." Because...
16. Mama always comes back home to you.
