Mother's Day
Stephen Lynch Lyrics

Stephen Lynch's song Mother's Day is a humorous tribute to his mother, thanking her for everything she has done for him, including things that a mother definitely should not do for her son. The first line thanks his mother for being his mom, which is a very straightforward and understandable sentiment. However, the second line catches the listener off guard by stating that his mother did all of his homework. This exaggeration is meant to be humorous and shows how much he appreciates his mother's dedication and hard work.

The next line, "you took me to prom," is more normal, but it is followed by the shocking revelation that he was the only guy who got lucky that night. This is obviously inappropriate and crass, but it serves to illustrate how much Lynch's mother has done for him over the years, and how he wants to thank her for everything. Overall, the song is meant to be a funny and irreverent tribute to mothers everywhere.
