mother it's your day I've been working

on my gift for the last two months it's

gonna be the best one ever

repeat Oh after that posture my mother

finds my lost schoolbooks my mother

finds my missing glove and when she

stops around and looks she'll find my

heart is full of love

how sweet well I love you so much that I

always want to be able to hug you so for

any reason I'm not around tell me to

hare I'll hug you for me much tell me

how nice you have such a great

imagination chip off the old block I'd

say so what did you get for your mother

Louie whoa

[Music]

my boy Jake developed a program that can

help Louie with his speech I'm gonna try

it all week mmm

they just couldn't get it together come

here sweetheart

you see Louie you gave me the best

Mother's Day gift ever

Louie you took care of me the house and

Tommy the entire time I was sick

being able to rest was the nicest

present you could have given me I love

you Louie I love you too long but

wouldn't you rather have a hug from

Tommy too sometimes there's no

substitute for the real thing you see

that Eric it's not how much you spend on

I can't even drive because your vision

cats that's why I'm giving you this

early Christmas gift mom corrective eye

surgery at the CERN clinic in

Switzerland corrective eye surgery stop

fighting you two

now listen I have the two best sons ever

you're both special to me Andy you know

I'll grow to love this rocking chair as

I did the last one

and since you made it by hand it'll

probably last longer thank you it means

enough to me

now let's all take a ride in my alte

movies all right let's go everybody in

the buggies

hey I want to get behind the wheel of a

real driving machine yeah get your hand

got a ramp

you go another Mother's Day and isn't it

ironic that sometimes you don't even

know you're giving someone a gift like

the one my mom gave me all the love and

care and support happy Mother's Day mom

and all you moms out there have a great

day
