If you give a parent a break
As you're driving down the road
And give them a few extra minutes
While you're picking up your load
Then tomorrow as you circle
Once more around the block
They'll need a few more minutes
Because they can't find a sock
The next thing you know
They're just getting out of bed
And when you get to school
Can you make sure they're fed
Later that evening
As you take their child home
Make sure they get through the door
And they're not left alone
If there are no cars there
There's no one home no doubt
Could they ride the bus
To the end of the route
If it's not to much trouble
Make sure they have a snack
Could you find the book they lost
And put it in their pack
Clean up when they get sick
Don't make them walk in rain or cold
Let them off at their friend's house
Or anywhere you're told
The first day you miss their child
Because he was hiding behind the trees
They'll call transportation
As pretty as you please
That sorry old bus driver
So the story goes
Was driving 80 miles an hour
As he went down our road
He flew right past our house
Wearing an evil frown
Ran over the neighbor's dog
And never even slowed down
The moral to this story
Is quite simply this
Go off and leave them the first day
And get the call over with
