I'VE BEEN STRESSED OUT BY YOU,
MORE THAN JUST NOW AND THEN.
YOUR KID'S TALENTED BUT,
THIS CAN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

LOOK AT THEM NOW,
WILL THEY NEVER LEARN?
PARENTS TURN FOUL,

BITCHING, SCREAMING, OUT OF CONTROL,
'CAUSE THEIR KID GOT TOO SMALL A ROLE.

JUST ONE CAST, I TRULY HOPE AND I PRAY,
WON'T HAVE PARENTS QUICK TO GO SO CRAY CRAY,

WOAH, WOAH!

MAMMA MIA! THERE THEY GO AGAIN!
STAGE MOMS, ADDING TO THE DRAMA.
EVERY TIME I, DO A SHOW AGAIN,
THEY'RE THERE, PUTTING ME THROUGH TRAUMA!

YES, I HAVE TRIED TO PLEASE YOU.
BUT STILL I CAN'T APPEASE YOU.
WHY, WHY DID I EVER CAST YOUR KID?

MAMMA MIA! I MUST LET YOU KNOW.
YOU WON'T BE BACKSTAGE FOR MY NEXT SHOW!
