When children all go back to school

     What do their parents do?

You cannot think?  You do not know?

    You haven't got a clue?

 

They have a party - all of them!

     They eat and drink and scream,

For a home without you noisy kids

     Is every parent's dream.

 

The music's on, the dancing starts;

    The eats and drinks come out.

They're eating things you're not allowed,

     Of that there is no doubt.

 

They'll ask you, later in the day:

      'Have you worked hard today?' -

Whilst they've been partying all day

      With children sent away.

 

The beds aren't made; no housework's done.

      It's parents' time to play -

For, with naughty, noisy kids packed off 

     It's 'Parents' Party Day.'
