CARRY ON

Once in a while a song comes along that becomes something of a theme song for me. Something I can sing along to in my head when I need a little pick-me-up. Nowadays, Carry On by Fun. has become that song for me. I decided that every new parent needs a little pick-me-up once in a while so I've tweaked the lyrics a bit and came up with this.

 

CARRY ON

Well, I woke up to the sounds of the baby

Crying for the fifth time tonight

And I found him begging for just one more bottle

So I put my sleepy head down to cry

You swore and said,

It’s your turn…it’s your turn to feed this crying child

No it’s not I said

When you claimed you were up last you lied

Well I’ve never been through hell like this

And I know I’ve gotten up more than you tonight

 

If you’re lost and alone

Or your toddler won’t give back your i-Phone,

Carry on

May your infant not leak, for the tenth time this week

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

 

So I met up with some friends to get out of the house

The babysitter will cost us a whopping $75

And we talked and talked about how the Wonder Pets can fly

Max and Ruby have no parents and why

I’d like to think I can stay out some more

But I know I have to get home because my kids are still awake

And besides I know,

I will be woken up by 6:45am

That is if I’m lucky

 

If you’re lost and alone

Or your toddler won’t give back your i-Phone

Carry On

May your infant not leak, for the tenth time this week

Carry on

Carry on, carry on

Woah

My head is on fire

After going to the park

They refuse to leave when it gets dark

And just lay down on the floor

And cry for one, one more ice cream

Yes just one more ice cream NOW

 

Yes we are

We are such worn-out parents

Still we are invincible

We are who we are

Even on the hardest days

When our patience has been tested in a dozen ways

We will find our way home

CARRY ON, CARRY ON
