My Favourite Mother

Happy birthday Mum

Happy birthday

Sending you love from Brooklyn

Sorry we can’t be there

But we are sending love your way

In the summer of 22

We will steal you away and drive

To the north and see all sorts

Of folks who you adore

We will take our time to travels roads

Shelda, Leo, Norma, Murray and

Norma, David and the kids

And everyone at all

Happy birthday

To my favorite mother

Happy birthday

Sending you love from Brooklyn

Sorry we can’t be there

But we are sending love your way

In the spring of 1942

Adeline and Sheldon brought you

Home to see your big sister

To start your odyssey

Now so much in your life has changed

Some created and some rearranged

But this I know that you are so

So so very loved

Happy birthday to you

My favorite mum

In the summer of 22

We will steal you away and drive

To the north and see all sorts

Of folks who you adore

In the summer of 22

Let us visit the people who

Bring you joy and so much more

Your journey is not done
