I billed my mum once, and she turned the invoice over and wrote on it
For the nine months I've carried you (in the office), no charge
For the nights I've sat up with you, doctored you, prayed for you (to deliver), no charge
For the ties, folding clothes and for wipin' your nose,coz you are useless there's no charge
When you add it all up, the full cost of my BA Skillz is, no charge
Well, when I finished readin' I had great big old tears in me eyes
And I looked up at her and said, "Mommy, I sure do love you"
Then I took the pen and in great big letters I wrote, 'Bailiffs will be here on Monday'
When you add it all up, the cost of real love is, your house
