The Violin Song lyrics

Mommy, I don't wanna practice violin

Mommy, I hate it and I want to quit

At best, the lessons are a bore

I dread the moment she walks through the door

You think that if I give up, 

I'll regret it when I'm older, but I won't

Mommy, I don't wanna play that violin

Mommy, watch me throw it at the wall and...

Hehe...uh...only kidding

The orchestra is fine for some

The truth is, I'm not having fun

You say that I will thank you when you're gone

But if you're dead, how will you know?

I'll eat my broccoli and never misbehave

Isn't that a good trade?

Think of the money you'll save

Mommy, please

Mommy, I don't even like the violin

Mommy, I'd rather play the bass guitar or drums

So add this to your mounting list

(Add this to your list)

Of things to talk about with your therapist

(With your therapist)

I'm sure she'll say we're better off

Without this albatross around our necks

Jascha Heifetz, Itzhak Perlman, Isaac Stern,1

Is that what you expect?

Mo-mo-mo-mommy

(I don't want to play the violin)

Mommy

(I don't wanna practice violin)

Mommy

Are you listening?
