It takes a village
To keep us mild
It takes a village
To help us grow
It takes a village
To let us know.
Learn to talk, taught to walk.
Wipe the bum then on the school run.
Feed feed feed, dealing with a nose bleed.
Drops offs, pick ups, parental follow ups.
It takes a village
To teach the skills
It takes a village
To pay the bills
It takes a village
To keep things checked
It takes a village
To confer respect
Recorder lessons, computer club, up to scouts.
Sailing out to Moorhead. Ready about!
Football, judo, in the choir we sang.

To enjoy the quirk
It takes a village
To make things work
