about

Written by Monty Harper and Mrs. Liebenau's 5th grade during a residency at Richmond Elementary in April/May 2011. During one session we kind of had second thoughts about this song. But I reassured the students that there's nothing too shocking here - all kids have similar conflicts with their moms. Still, we made sure to give it a positive spin at the end.

lyrics

My mother loves to kiss me right in front of all my friends
The list of chores she gives me is so long it never ends
She blames me for my brother's mess
She tells me no when I need yes
She's yack yack yacking on the phone, never leaving me alone
She’s always getting up in my face
So I sent her to this boot camp place

I sent my mom to Camp PBC
Parental Behavior Control
It's a place where she can learn to be fun like me
Up in the frozen North Pole
Camp PBC, Camp PBC
Parental Behavior Control

Today I got a letter with a North Pole stamp
My mother says she's having an adventure at camp
She's learning how to not say no
To every place I want to go
She practiced how to just chillax, she loves those classes to the max
They taught her how to make a s'more
And how to pay attention more

Repeat Chorus

My mom's been away now
Longer than I thought
Here's a surprise
I miss her a lot!

I sent my mom to Camp PBC
Parental Behavior Control
It's a place where she can learn to be fun like me
Up in the frozen North Pole
Maybe I shouldn’t have sent her away
I wish she was coming back home today

Camp PBC (3x)
Parental Behavior Control
