My Mommy Drives a Dump Truck

by Barry Louis Polisar

on My Brother Thinks He's a Banana and other Provocative Songs for Children (1977)

My mommy drives a dump truck; my daddy washes clothes
Mops the floors, cleans the doors, the cabinets, and my nose
Daddy stays at home with me; he changes diapers too
You might think that it's funny but they do what they want to

Mommy holds the door for Dad and always drives the car
Some say they are funny but I don't think they are
Daddy does the dishes and Mommy wears a tie
Mommy goes to work each day and Dad makes apple pie

My mommy drives a dump truck; my daddy washes clothes
Mops the floors, cleans the doors, the cabinets, and my nose
Daddy stays at home with me; he changes diapers too
You might think that it's funny but they do what they want to

Mommy reads the paper while Daddy sews my clothes
He brings her coffee late at night; smells pretty as a rose
But Mommy has an ulcer and I know this might sound weird
But she didn't yell at me as much before she grew her beard

My mommy drives a dump truck; my daddy washes clothes
Mops the floors, and cleans the doors, the cabinets, and my nose
Daddy stays at home with me; he changes diapers too
You might think that it's funny but they do what they want to
You might think that it's funny but they do what they want to
