lyrics
Sometimes when they’re moving slow – feeling a little low
I know just what to do – I know how to get through.
And in a little while, I can get them both to smile, smile, smile
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
Best job I’ve ever had
Always makes me feel so glad, glad, glad
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
Best job I’ve ever had
Always makes me feel glad
I’m takin’ care of Mom (and takin’ care of Dad)
I’m takin’ care of Mom (and takin’ care of Dad)
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Older than they were before - now they need me more and more
Getting things at the stores, helping out with the chores
These are the practical ways I can tell them “thank you” ev’ryday
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
Best job I’ve ever had
Always makes me feel so glad, glad, glad
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
Best job I’ve ever had
Always makes me feel glad
I’m takin’ care of Mom (and takin’ care of Dad)
I’m takin’ care of Mom (and takin’ care of Dad)
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that Mom and Dad are gone, my job is to carry on.
By the way that I live, by the hope that I give
By the things that I say, I still bring them honor ev’ryday
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
I’m takin’ care of Mom and Dad
Best job I’ve ever had
Always makes me feel so glad, glad, glad
We’re takin’ care of Mom and Dad
We’re takin’ care of Mom and Dad
Best job we’ve ever had
Always makes us feel glad
We’re takin’ care of Mom (and takin’ care of Dad)
We’re takin’ care of Mom (and takin’ care of Dad)
We’re takin’ care of Mom and Dad!
