I feel different today
S'what I heard my mother say
After she tried out the gift from her best friend
When she opened up the box
In her room she clicked the locks
As she read the little paper
From the "Mother's Little Shaker"
And she took it out of sight
And was in her room all night

Things feel different today
As my mother went away
She would disappear for hours at a time
I don't doubt my mother's love
But those noises from above
Have to wait for them to taper
From the "Mother's Little Shaker"
Before dinner would get made
I'd have toast and marmalade

Mother dear, don't wanna hear
Behind the door, you whoop and roar
What a drag mom can't get a date

Now I guess I should be glad
Mommy doesn't miss my dad
But she seems to spend a lot of time upstairs
And now when she gets the urge
I know power levels surge
She said she's no more a faker
With her "Mother's Little Shaker"
I just web chat with my mates
As the house reverberates

Mother dear, don't wanna hear
Behind the door, you whoop and roar
What a drag mom can't get a date

Things are back the same today
Mom has nothing good to say
Mother's little toy I noticed in the trash
Seems the lifetime guarantee
Didn't cover mother's spree
She needs someone who can make her
A new "Mother's Little Shaker"
So she's doing what she can
I think Mommy needs a man
