I danced today at the market
while singing the words of the song
My daughter was completely mortified
as I had brought her along

"Baby," I said, "don't you worry"
"no one really cares what I do"
"Listen, carefully" I say to her
"there's someone else singing too"

"But Mommy," she moans, so embarrassed
while I continue to dance
Laughing, I encourage her to join me
to just give the moment a chance

Unfortunately, the song ends,
and she gives me one of her grins
Then starts belting out the words,
to the new song that now begins
