Soccer Mom Anthem by Holly Sarratt Frye
Sweep, Dust, Clean
Get it in the washing machine
Daddy's comin' home
and he wants a good supper tonight
There's crackers on the floorboard
make-up on the wheel
paper cups and pickup trucks
and an old Happy Meal
Billy's homework, Bobby's socks
and half an orange peel
she's a soccer mom
she's on the run
to the next Kroger deal
Sweep, Dust, Clean
Get it in the washing machine
Daddy's comin' home
and he wants a good supper tonight
Gone are the suits
and the heels and the raise
here now are sweatshirt
and tennis-shoe days
Run a business, office staff
she could write a book
but run a home? she's all alone
nobody taught her how to cook
Sweep, Dust, Clean
Get it in the washing machine
Daddy's comin' home
and he wants a good supper tonight
Later on that night
she finally got em all tucked in
get a good night's sleep, little mama
tomorrow gonna do it all again
Sweep, Dust, Clean
Get it in the washing machine
Daddy's comin' home
and he wants a good supper tonight
