Malvina Reynolds: Song Lyrics and Poems  

Little Bitty Mommy

Notes: words and music by Malvina Reynolds; copyright 1963 by Schroder Music Company, renewed 1991.

Little bitty mommy with the baby in the stroller
Signs the petition at the table on the corner,
Says "What can I do? What can I do?"
"How can I do my share?"

A contrail marking up the sky,
A contrail tracing across the blue;
Arrogant plane with the arrogant sign,
The child-like name on the printed line.

Little bitty mommy with the baby in the stroller
Little bitty mommy kind of young and frail,
Little bitty mommy with the pony tail,
Says, "How can I do my share?"

A contrail marking up the sky,
A contrail tracing across the blue;
Arrogant plane with the arrogant sign,
The child-like name on the printed line.

Little bitty mommy with the baby in the stroller
Signs the petition at the table on the corner,
Says, "What can I do? What can I do?"
"How can I do my share?"
