Make Mom Laugh With These Hilarious Songs About Motherhood!

Looking for a way to cheer up your mom? Maybe you want to give her a laugh for Mother's Day or her birthday. Show her a few of the videos below. You are sure to have a great time together.

Believe me, I know. I have five kids. Like most women, I thought I had it all together before motherhood. However, that myth was busted the first time I left my house with my baby and a diaper bag without any diapers or bottles!

Even though it can be the most rewarding job I've ever had, being a mom is also the toughest. Maybe that is why my friends and I love to tell stories of our wildest mom moments and disasters. Below are some of our favorite songs, including a couple I've written myself.

"Supermom"

(sung to the tune of "Supercalifrajalisticexpialadocious")

I’ve cleaned the floor,
And made the beds,
G
I’ve done the dishes too.
Dinner’s in the crockpot,
C
Cause tonight we’re having stew.
My teeth are brushed,
My hair is combed,
F
My makeup is in place.
My shoes and purse coordinate
G
I’m ready for the race.

Chorus

C G
Oh, Supermom's a goal of mine all through it is precocious,
C
And I know the sound of it is something quite ferocious,
F
If you say it loud enough it always can engross us,
G C
Supermom's a goal of mine although it is atrocious!

Bridge

Oh, I've-got-ta-be-one,
I've-got-ta-be-one,
I've-got-ta-be-one,
I've-got-ta-be-one

Verse 2

My bathroom is immaculate,
The floors and counters shine.
Look into my cupboards,
You’ll see nothing out of line.
My furniture is dusted,
My windows are all clean.
They're coming to take pictures
For Magnolia Magazine.

(Chorus and bridge)

Verse 3

My children all get A’s in school,
They are the teacher’s pets.
At home, they are so quiet,
I’ve not raised my voice yet,
I’m all the moms you’ve never known,
But always have admired.
You’ve watched me from a distance now,
And hope to get inspired!

(Chorus and bridge)

Verse 4

I’m supermom, I’m supermom,
Don’t you wish you were too?
My kids don’t argue, don’t get sick,
No throw-up, blood, or goo.
Thank goodness they are plastic,
Or I don’t know what I’d do.
Just call this toll-free number,
And you can have some too!

(Chorus)

Updated Motherhood Song: "In Tha Muthahood"

I love the way Anita Renfroe incorporates all of the things we were told motherhood would be like in her parody rap, adding all of the TV images of moms we watched when we were growing up. Check out her video below!

"Bohemian Rhapsody" Parody

I found this wonderful parody of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." The lyrics are posted on the YouTube website. Great video production, too!

Go Fish Guys: "The Mom Song"

I've seen the Go Fish Guys in concert four times and love the fact that they appreciate mothers and write kids songs that I actually enjoy listening to in my car. However, I can't play this song too often because the lyrics go through my head all day. The ones I can't get out of my head? "The boss, the driver, the ultimate survivor!" and "if you work all day yet never get paid... you're a mom!"

A Mother's Invisible Work

I call what moms do "invisible work" because if you do it, people don't see it. The dishes are put away; the laundry isn't in the basket; there isn't dirt on the floor; the kids are quietly playing. However, if you don't do the work, that's when people notice! Think about how much invisible work your mom has done for you and thank her for it on the next card you write!

My Retreat

This song idea came to me one day after hearing my kids yelling for me while I was secluded in that very private place, the bathroom. I have to admit that sometimes I DO hide in there. When the Charmin toilet paper company had a contest, I considered altering the lyrics to include Charmin and submitting it as a video, but I wasn't sure it suited my dignity as a professor of English. All right, be honest, how many of you moms have used the bathroom as your retreat?

"I Am the Mother of 5 Children"

(I sing this one to the tune of that old song "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah, here I am at Camp Granada")

Chorus

G
I am the mother,
D
Of five children.
Where they are now,
G
I am not certain.

Am
I am hiding,
D
In the bathroom.
Am
And I don’t think I am coming out
D7
Too very soon.

Verse 1

I have snacks here,
M & Ms and Cheetos.
And I grabbed the very last bag
Of Doritos.

I have sodas,
A coffee maker,
a microwave,

and refrigerator.

(Chorus)

Verse 2

I have my laptop
Makeup and comb.
Bible, Scrapbook tote,
And my iPhone.

I am relaxing,
It’s very quiet.
I may just take a nap
You ought to try it.

(Chorus)

Verse 3

I think I hear them.
Calling to me
Calling “Mom? Mom? Mom? Mom? Mom?
repeatedly.

But I have earplugs,
I think I’ll use them,
And so I will avoid their
echo-location.

Ending Chorus

I am the mother,
Of five children.
Where they are now,
I am quite certain.

So I am hiding,
In the bathroom,
And I don’t think I am coming out
Too very soon.

The Joy, and the Challenge of a Lifetime

Really, in spite of my tendency to hide in the bathroom sometimes (where the kids really do try to find me by "echo-locution" as my husband says--yelling, "mom....Mom....MOM....MOMOMOM"). I love this job, and I'm very proud of all five of my kids. In fact, nothing in any career is more exciting or frightening than being a mother. Although in my professional life, I've been a teacher, written grants, given speeches, and published papers, nothing compares to the challenge of motherhood.

In what other job can you be answering, "Why does that person have purple hair?" with one child, while discussing "Does God let animals into heaven?" with another. What other job requires you to stop everything (including the dinner you were cooking while you were talking) to run into the living room to clean up a variety of bodily fluids that did not end up where they were supposed to go? Crazy, fabulous, exhausting, and all-consuming. That's motherhood. Welcome to the club!
