Verse 1 * Seems like not so long ago
I pushed you around in your pram.
Now you're leaving me for five whole days,
So forlorn I am!
How will I survive not making your bed,
Not cooking your meals,
Not tucking you in, not saying 'Goodnight'?
How wrong this all feels. But then again.......
Chorus We'll get some peace and some quiet,
A tidy house, no mess to clear,
No sticky fingerprints,
In fact no sign that children live here!
Verse 2 Who'll make sure you brush your teeth
And see that you're properly fed?
Who will kiss it better when you
Get a bump on your head.
How will I survive not taking you out,
Not watching you play,
Not hearing you cry whenever you're not
Getting your own way? But then again.......
Chorus We'll get some peace and some quiet,
The stress and strain will disappear.
No tantrums or hissy-fits,
In fact no sign that children live here!
We'll watch what we want on telly,
And we'll relax in our front room.
So go, enjoy yourself,
No need to come back any time soon!
