A tribute to the church nursery

My muse strikes at unexpected moments, and this was one of them. I happened to see the line of parents waiting to pick up their children after the service  combined with this Stevie Wonder song my neighbors were playing yesterday afternoon. Mix together, stir, and voila!

As with all my parodies, there is no offense intended at all but a tribute to hardworking church nursery workers and the incredible talent of Stevie Wonder. Enjoy!

(And for the record, no altar calls at my church.)

Today's service lasted way too long

Sick of Cheerios™ and kiddy songs

Oo Mommy, here I am, 

Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours 

Cranky 'cause I missed my morning nap 

Please hold me tight upon your lap 

Oo Mommy, here I am, 

Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours 

Here I am, Mommy

Oh, you've got my blanket in your hand

(Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours)

Here I am, Mommy

Oh, you've got my blanket in your hand

(Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours) 

I'll see you back again next week

For more fun and games and treats

Hey, hey, yea, yea, see you, oh Mommy 

Recall that long, dragged out altar call? 

The nursery workers began to bawl 

Oo Mommy, here I am, 

Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours 

Give them a medal for their care 

They do it faithfully with no fanfare 

Oo Mommy, here I am, 

Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours 

Here I am, Mommy

Oh, you've got my paci in your hand

(Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours)

Here I am, Mommy

Oh, you've got my paci in your hand

(Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours)

I'll see you back again next week

For more fun and games and treats 

Thanks for all you do for us, but until then

But until then, next Sunday yeah

(Here I am, Mommy)

Here I am, Mommy

(Fed, burped, and diapered. I'm yours)...
