一首很舊的童謠, 很難再找到原錄音, 而由當年多才多藝的歌影童星 Bobby Breen 再錄音, 但可惜至今仍無法找到原整的歌曲唱片,
給普天下敬愛的母親一點心意, 一小段 Bobby Breen 的原錄音獻給 All Mama & Expectant Mama ! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY !

Bobby Breen (born November 4, 1927) is a Canadian-born actor and singer of the 1930s. He made his professional debut at age four in a night club in Toronto and was an immediate sensation. He made his radio debut soon after. He played in vaudeville and his sister paid for his musical education. Breen went to Hollywood in 1935. His first major appearance was on Eddie Cantor's weekly radio show in 1936, and he soon became the leading child star at RKO Studios. He is best remembered today for his films, and for the fact that he was a boy soprano. His first film was Let's Sing Again (1936), followed by eight more, including Rainbow on the River (1936), Make a Wish (1937), Way Down South (1939), and his last film, Johnny Doughboy (1942). - WIKIPEDIA

M-O-T-H-E-R (A Word That Means The World To Me) — Bobby Breen
Lyrics by Howard Johnson, Melody by Theodore Morse
Copyright 1915, Leo Feist, Inc. Renewed 1943.

I've been around the world, you bet,
But never went to school,
Hard knocks are all I seem to get,
Perhaps, I've been a fool;

But still, some educated folks,
Supposed to be so swell,
Would fail, if they were called upon,
A simple word to spell.

Now, if you'd like to put me to a test,
There's one dear name that I can spell the best;

"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears were shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold,
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right, she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

When I was but a baby,
Long before I learned to walk,
While lying in my cradle,
I would try my best to talk;

It wasn't long, before I spoke,
And all the neighbors heard,
My folks were very proud of me,
For "MOTHER" was the word.

Although I never lay a claim to fame,
I'm satisfied that I can spell the name;

"M" is for the mercy she possesses,
"O" means that I owe her all I own,
"T" is for her tender sweet caresses,
"H" is for her hands that made a home:
"E" means everything she's done to help me,
"R" means real and regular, you see,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
