Mama Ain't Raise No Swan

Bully and belittle

Poke and prode

That's fine 'n' dandy

Mama ain't raise no swan

 

With my beak held high

Standin' taller than crayons

Can't get me down

Mama ain't raise no swan

 

Ya'll say I'm useless

A mat to walk on

That's A-Ok

Mama ain't raise no swan

 

I take the teasing

From dusk til' dawn

"Keep walkin', baby."

Mama ain't raise no swan

 

I'm "smart and special"

"Cutest ever spawned"

Ocean eyes, fluffy feathers

Mama ain't raise no swan

 

Mama kisses me

As I start to yawn

"Mama loves you, baby,"

"And she ain't raise no swan."
