We Are the Moms
Jen Hirsch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mom mom, mom ma-mom mom mom mom
Mom mom, mom ma-mom mom mom mom

We′re leaving our work, we're closing our laptops, and responding to the cry
We gotta make sure the baby′s fed and, more importantly, they're dry

We're professional nose-wipers
And know every brand of diaper
But you have to pay the piper
Don′t you ever call us gripers
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We are the Moms and we can′t resist the calling
We are the Moms and we hear a baby bawling
We are the Moms and everything you've heard is all quite true
′Cause moms will always come through
Moms will always come through

Ooh, yeah
We are the Moms who get you into your pajamas
We are the Moms and we could do without the drama
We are the Moms and we'll always do what mamas do
′Cause moms will always come through

(Mom mom, mom ma-mom mom mom mom)
'Cause moms will always come through
(Mom mom, mom ma-mom mom mom mom)
′Cause moms will always come through
(Mom mom, mom ma-mom mom mom mom)
'Cause moms will always come through




(Mom mom, mom ma-mom mom mom mom)
'Cause moms will always come through!
