about
The child now attends school and life has become a whirl of activity and busyness for the mother, as she runs a home and also holds down work. Within the humour (yes, I have actually had broccoli in my hair), she wonders if, when this is all over, she may well be old and grey. This would work well visually with the mime artist keeping invisible plates spinning.
lyrics
I need to make your breakfast, packed lunch, snack and tea and
Check is your homework is done, school forms signed, and uniform clean.
Check the laundry, find your shoes,
check the cat is fed and litter tray is empty.
Off to school with you, don’t miss the bus,
and tell your teacher I will be there
half past three oh…
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates drop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates stop
To the shops and grab some milk and bread and cheese and
Don’t be late to work, again, stay professional, please
And don’t forget to send that big report before you leave
to come home again.
Pick you up from school, how was your day?
I'll listen while I fold the laundry
make the tea and
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates drop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates stop
Oh, broccoli in the hair again, I don't care.
I need a cup of tea, I need some time for me,
But I just can’t stop.
Too much to do to even wonder where I’m going
I’ll just keep spinning on until you’ve grown and flown away
I’ll be old and grey!
But until that day...
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates drop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates stop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates drop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates stop
Oh, cauliflower on the shirt again, I don't mind.
I need to take a break, I need a glass of wine,
But I just can’t stop.
Too much to do to even wonder where I’m going
I’ll just keep spinning on until you’ve grown and flown away
I’ll be old and grey!
But until that day…
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates drop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates stop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates drop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates stop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates drop
Got to keep those plates all spinning
Don't let the plates stop.
