Mom songs are very popular for Weddings, Receptions, Birthdays, Mother’s Day and throughout the year as a “just because” gift for moms. The ability to download songs for mom and dad to make into a CD, or listen to on an MP3 player or iPod, is a creative and unique gift to the mom or dad in your life.
If you are getting married and looking for wedding dance songs, perhaps for a special father/daughter or mother/daughter dance at your wedding reception, review this list of 101 songs for ideas with some of the best mother songs and songs for dads. You will notice there are songs from various genres including pop, rock, country etc.
Some of these songs are a bit sappy for a father/daughter dance or mother/daughter dance, so you might want to consider mixing things up like in this father/daughter dance, where the typical traditional dance quickly turned into a funny White Wedding spin. Enjoy!
Have you heard about GoFish? How about the Mom Song by the Go Fish Guys? GoFish is a Christian singing group of three guys, Jamie Statema (founder of GoFish), Jason Folkmann and Andy Selness. GoFish, also known as the Go Fish Guys, started out as an a cappella group founded in 1993, using nothing but vocals and percussion.
GoFish became branded as “a cappella with an attitude”, whose songs include the Mom Song, Christmas With a Capital C, American Kid, Superstar and many others. The GoFish website, www.gofishguys.com, is labeled as “Go Fish – Great Music For Kids That Won’t Drive Parents Bonkers!!”, which was enough to cause me to spend some time on the GoFish site and check out Jamie’s Go Fish Guy blog at www.gofishguy.typepad.com. Jamie must be a very cool guy, considering the fact that his blog logo includes my favorite Dr. Seuss quote “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind” which is my personal motto in life.
“Party Like a Preschooler” by the Go Fish Guys is a best-selling album collection of 11 songs kids love and won’t drive parents bonkers, and there’s even a bonus track for dads, “It’s hard to be cool (in a mini-van)!” This “Party” album contains song titles including “Do Your Ears Hang Low”, “The Wheels on the Bus”, “Pop Goes the Weasel”, “5 Little Monkeys”, “The A,B,C’s”, “John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt”, “The Cow and The Peanut” and other kid songs moms and dads will enjoy just as much as kids do.

Mom Song Kid’s Response to the Mom Song. The “Mom Song” to William Tell’s Overture YouTube video by Patti Hershey is one of the best mom songs I’ve heard, and several moms have asked me when I was going to post the kids response to the mom song by Vanessa Van Petten. Well, hear ya go! For all you Mom Song fans, here’s the YouTube video of the Mom Song Kid’s Response with lyrics! Enjoy!
The “Mom Song” is sometimes referred to as the Mum Song, and after hearing a variety of songs about moms over the years, I must admit the Patti Harshey version of the Mom Song is by far the best.
Anita Renfroe did a nice version of the William Tell Mom Song too, but I personally prefer Patti Harshey’s version. Patti Harshey, from the Northland Church in Longwood Florida, recently sang the mom song and I wanted to share it as it is simply priceless.
This song goes well with my recent Mean Moms post too. This mom song does an excellent job of describing what a typical mom says in a 24-hour period, but this mom says it in less than 3 minutes flat.
The Mom Song lyrics are displayed as this song is sung, but I thought it would be fun to include the Mom Song lyrics in full text version below for anyone interested in singing along. If you can keep up, that is.
The Mom Song Lyrics
Get up now
Get up now
Get up out of bed
Wash your face
Brush your teeth
Comb your sleepy head
Here’s your clothes
And your shoes
Hear the words I said
Get up now
Get up and make your bed
Are you hot?
Are you cold?
Are you wearing that?
Where’s your books and your lunch and your homework at?
Grab your coat and your gloves and your scarf and hat
Don’t forget you got to feed the cat
Eat your breakfast
The experts tell us it’s the most important meal of all
Take your vitamins so you will grow up one day to be big and tall
Please remember the orthodontist will be seeing you at three today?
Don’t forget your piano lesson is this afternoon
So you must play
Don’t shovel
Chew slowly
But hurry
The bus is here
Be careful
Come back here
Did you wash behind your ears?
Play outside
Don’t play rough
Would you just play fair?
Be polite
Make a friend
Don’t forget to share
Work it out
Wait your turn
Never take a dare
Get along
Don’t make me come down there
Clean your room
Fold your clothes
Put your stuff away
Make your bed
Do it now
Do we have all day?
Were you born in a barn?
Would you like some hay
Can you even hear a word I say?
Answer the phone
Get Off the phone
Don’t sit so close
Turn it down
No texting at the table
No more computer time tonight
Your iPod’s my iPod if you don’t listen up
Where you going and with whom and what time do you think you’re coming home?
Saying thank you, please, excuse me
Makes you welcome everywhere you roam
You’ll appreciate my wisdom
Someday when you’re older and you’re grown
Can’t wait ’til you have a couple little children of your own
You’ll thank me for the counsel I gave you so willingly
But right now
I thank you NOT to roll your eyes at me
Close your mouth when you chew
Would appreciate
Take a bite
Maybe two
Of the stuff you hate
Use your fork
Do not you burp
Or I’ll set you straight
Eat the food I put upon your plate
Get an egg A, Get the door
Don’t get smart with me
Get a Grip
Get in here I’ll count to 3
Get a job
Get a life
Get a PhD
Get a dose of reality
I don’t care who started it
You’re grounded until your 36
Get your story straight
And tell the truth for once for heaven’s sake
And if all your friends jumped off a cliff
Would you jump too?
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said at least a thousand times before that
You’re too old to act this way
It must be your father’s DNA
Look at me when I am talking
Stand up straight when you walk
A place for everything
And everything must be in place
Stop crying or I’ll give you something real to cry about
Oh!
Brush your teeth
Wash your face
Get your PJs on
Get in bed
Get a hug
Say a prayer with Mom
Don’t forget
I love you
**KISS**
And tomorrow we will do this all again because a mom’s work never ends
You don’t need the reason why
Because
Because
Because
Because
I said so
I said so
I said so
I said so
I’m the Mom
The mom
The mom
The mom
The mom
Ta-da
