you know most people look through their wallets or their pocket books
And way down at the bottom
Past their credit cards and the baby pictures
And green stamps
You can usually find a little ole dog-eared piece of poetry of some kind
I was cleanin' out my wallet the other day and i ran across a whole bunch of iou's some of 'em 30 years overdue and the funny thing is that all these iou's are owed to one person
And i just kinda thought that maybe now might be a pretty good time for an accounting
Mom? you listenin'?
Mom
I owe you for so many things
A lot of different services
Like night watchman for instance
for lyin' awake nights listenin' for coughs
Cries and creakin' floorboards
And me comin' in too late oh
You had the eye of an eagle
The roar of a lion
But ya always had a heart as big as a house
I owe you for services as a short order cook
Chef
Baker
for makin' sirloin outta hamburger
Turkey outta tuna fish and big old strappin' boys outta leftovers
I owe you for cleanin' services
for the daily scrubbin' of face and ears
All work done by hand
And for the frequent dustin' of a small boy's pants to try to make sure that he led a spotless life
And for washin' and ironin' that no laundry could ever do
for dryin' the tears of childhood
And for ironin' out the problems of growin' up
I owe you for services as a bodyguard
for protectin' me from the terrors of thunderstorms and nightmares
And too many green apples
And lord knows i owe you for medical attention
for nursin' me through measles
Mumps
Bruises
Bumps
Splinters and spring fever and let's not forget medical advice either oh no
important things like if you don't quit scratchin' that it ain't never gonna' get well
And if ya cross your eyes like that they're gonna stick like that and probably the most important was
Boy
You be sure you've got on clean underwear in
