Story behind the song
The song was written for my mom's 70th birthday. This one's based on her telling us kids, "Just wait until you get old" when we laughed if she made a verbal faux pas. Now that's what we Potor boys tell our own kids.
Lyrics
1:
Mom was always there for us and there never was a day
When nobody had a practice or a game.
She said, “We could take a ride to Rutt’s, but they’d rather stop at Ott’s
Or Mario’s, where pizza got its name,
Mario’s, where pizza got its name.”
Took the kids to Marilyn’s, they’re packin’ up to move.
Thought that she would give ‘em a hand.
Then maybe we’ll go see Dot and Joe,
Get a couple o’ buckets o’ sand (no snow),
A couple o’ buckets of sand.
CHORUS:
Look at him, Mommy; Kevin is swinging.
Look at him, Mom; he’s swinging himself.
Send for Doctor Monoloy, plug the vaporizer in.
Larry’s watchin’ Tommy feed the puppy from his crib.
Charlie, start the fire, I got to make that onion dip.
2:
Mom was pregnant with Tom at the Nine O’clock Mass,
Georgie fell, they couldn’t catch him in time.
What a surprise when he opened his eyes
And the usher was the funeral guy,
The usher was the funeral guy.
INSTRUMENTAL
She said, “He was as crooked as Parker Avenue.”
I guess Mom was on the phone with Mrs. Hedge,
So, Kevin washed his shoes, Larry got the flu,
And Tom said I should “scrape it on the edge,”
Tom said I should “scrape it on the edge.”
CHORUS:
Look at him, Mommy; Kevin is swinging.
Look at him, Mom; he’s swinging himself.
Mama's little baby loves short'nin, short'nin, Mama's little baby loves short'nin bread.
Send for Doctor Monoloy, plug the vaporizer in.
Larry’s watchin’ Tommy feed the puppy from his crib.
Charlie, start the fire, I got to make that onion dip.
3:
Remember that kid, the one with the one shoe?
It was the daughter, her son, you know he knew your Aunt Rose.
We used to make fun, now we’re the ones
Sayin’ “Wait until you get old,
Wait until you get old
Wait until you, wait until you,
Wait until you get old."
