[00:07.306] Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives
[00:12.043] Keep the house and sweep the parlor
[00:14.420] Cook the meals and look exhausted
[00:16.782] Ordinary mothers, like ordinary wives
[00:21.650] Fry the eggs and dry the sheets and
[00:24.044] Try to deal with facts
[00:28.892] Mine acts
[00:33.524][DESIREE]
[00:34.676] Darling, I miss you a lot
[00:36.237] But, darling, this has to be short
[00:38.544] As mother is getting a plaque
[00:40.844] From the Halsingborg Arts Council Amateur Theatre Group
[00:46.043] Whether it's funny or not
[00:47.535] I'll give you a fuller report
[00:49.732] The minute they carry me back
[00:51.955] From the Halsingborg Arts Council Amateur Theatre Group...
[00:57.150] Love you...
