My
mom raised me since I was a baby
And I thought I knew her well
On second thought just maybe she had a secret I couldn¹t tell
You
think I would have noticed
If my mom was from outer space
Two green heads would have showed it
It¹s hard to miss an extra face
She¹s
a soccer mom
From outer space
What else could she be
She¹s a soccer mom
From outer space
And she¹s not like you and me
I studied
her when we got home
I watched her all week long
She read and she talked on the telephone
She acted like nothing was wrong
Then
she showed up in a pickle suit
And I knew she was getting weirder
You might think that she looked cute
She was a giant green cheerleader
I said,
"mom if you look around you¹ll see
No one else is dressed like, you know who!"
She said, "You don¹t have to thank me,
Not everyone¹s as lucky as you!"
I said,
"Mom, please don¹t dress like that."
"All right," she said, "You win, but I think I¹ll
Wear my pickle hat!" I said, "mom please try to blend in!"
She¹s
a soccer mom
From outer space
What else could she be
She¹s a soccer mom
From outer space
And she¹s not like you and me
A green
blimp with flashing lights
Floated over a tree
All the parents were dressed inside
It was quite a sight to see
They
were all dressed up like cheer leading pickles
Waving pom-poms around
"Looks like I¹m not the only soccer mom,
From outer space in town!"
She¹s
a soccer mom
From outer space
What else could she be
She¹s a soccer mom
From outer space
And she¹s not like you and me
