[00:40.567][FREDERICKA]
[00:48.319]	Ordinary mothers lead ordinary lives
[00:53.185]	Mop the floors and chop the parsley
[00:55.702]	Mend the clothes and tend the children
[00:58.270]	Ordinary mothers, like ordinary wives
[01:03.241]	Make the beds and bake the pies
[01:05.335]	And wither on the vine
[01:09.073]	Not mine
[01:15.315]	Dying by inches every night
[01:18.698]	What a glamorous life!
[01:22.636]	Pulled on by winches to recite
[01:25.522]	What a glamorous life!
[01:29.693]	Ordinary mothers never get the flowers
[01:32.735]	And ordinary mothers never know the joys
[01:36.341]	But ordinary mothers couldn't cough for hours
[01:39.764]	Maintaining their poise
[01:47.081]	Sandwiches only
[01:49.152]	But she eats what she wants, when she wants
[01:53.860]	Sometimes it’s lonely
[01:56.438]	But she meets many handsome gallants
[02:01.288]	Ordinary mothers don't live out of cases
[02:04.413]	But ordinary mothers don't go different places
[02:08.027]	Which ordinary mothers can’t do, being mothers all day
[02:13.979]	Mine's away in a play
[02:17.307]	And she's realer than they...
[02:22.448]	What if her brooch is only glass
[02:25.439]	And her costumes unravel?
[02:29.100]	What if her coach is second class?
[02:32.555]	She at least gets to travel
[02:36.434]	And sometime this summer, meaning soon
[02:40.290]	She'll be traveling to me
[02:44.130]	Sometime this summer, maybe June
[02:47.345]	I'm the new place she'll see
[02:51.370]	Ordinary daughters may think life is better
[02:54.500]	With ordinary mothers near them when they choose
[02:57.878]	But ordinary daughters seldom get a letter
[03:01.225]	Enclosing reviews
[03:04.165]	Gay and resilient with applause
[03:07.119]	What a glamorous life!
[03:10.956]	Speeches are brilliant if they're Shaw's
[03:14.158]	What a glamorous life!
[03:17.710]	Ordinary mothers needn’t meet committees
[03:20.811]	But ordinary mothers don’t get keys to cities
[03:24.193]	No, ordinary mothers merely see their children all year
[03:30.065]	Which is lovely, I hear
[03:33.595]	But it does interfere with the glamorous—
[03:41.857]	I am the princess, guarded by dragons
[03:45.187]	Snorting and grumbling and rumbling in wagons
[03:49.481]	She's in her kingdom, wearing disguises
[03:53.223]	Living a life that is full of surprises
[03:58.082]	And sometime this summer
[04:00.479]	She’ll come galloping over the green!
[04:05.366]	Sometime this summer
[04:07.571]	To the rescue, my mother the queen!
[04:12.483]	Ordinary mothers thrive on being private
[04:15.544]	But ordinary mothers somehow can survive it
[04:18.977]	And ordinary mothers never know they're just standing still
[04:24.533]	With the kettles to fill
[04:27.778]	While they're missing the thrill of the glamorous life!
