words and music by Rob Biagi ©2010 Rob Biagi /BMI

sorry mom – i was wrong and you were right – all along
and now all that i want to do
is love and honor and obey you – my Mom

mom? (she fainted!) i guess i’ll have to talk to dad instead

i’m sorry Dad – i’m ashamed. and you are right – i’m to blame
now all that i want to do
is love and honor and obey you – my dad

to show you that my behavior’s better
i just wrote grandma’s thank you letter…see? pretty good, huh?

mom and dad – you’re the boss
and you were right – so i flossed
and now all that you’ll see me do
is love and honor and obey you – my parents – i love my parents!

i’m sorry i broke your birdbath, and i know that i’m no good at math
i know i didn’t eat your casserole and i’m sorry about that lie i told...

"Sorry Mom; I Was Wrong" is a humorous, kids-eye-view of humbly apologizing to his parents for several things he’s recently done wrong.

MUSICAL STYLE/SOUND: It sounds as though a child is playing the piano and singing to his parents, with other musicians joining in as the song goes along. Simple piano, bass, and drums accompany. Kinda Mr. Rogers/Sesame Street, kinda jazzy, very sweet and simple.
