World’s Best Mom lyrics

[AMANDINE, spoken]

It just goes to prove Zeno's paradox

We all remain completely alone forever

Never touching

Put your coat on

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

World's best mom

[AMANDINE, spoken]

All of life is a lesson

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

She may not know what to say

[AMANDINE]

We're be spending the day at Notre-Dame

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

World's best mom

[AMANDINE, spoken]

I have a good idea, you'll see

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

World's best mom

[AMANDINE, spoken]

Wait!

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

She may not know what I need

[AMANDINE, spoken]

Slow down!

[YOUNG AMÉLIE & COMPANY]

Now the whole world of Paris picks up speed

As we stroll hand in hand to this cathedral

And in through the doors of Notre-Dame

With my mom

[YOUNG AMÉLIE (AMANDINE, spoken)]

World's best mom (Be quiet)

World's best mom (Are you ready?)

World's best (Let's pray)

[AMANDINE]

A little help down here?

You know I'm really not that strong

And it's very clear

That my daughter's been a life long problem

Every night there's always something wrong

So I could use a son

[COMPANY]

A son

[AMANDINE]

To make everything right, sing along

[YOUNG AMÉLIE]

We could use a son

[AMANDINE]

He would be my pride and joy

[YOUNG AMÉLIE & AMENDINE]

We could use a son

[AMANDINE]

I'd be much better off with a boy

[COMPANY]

The prayer goes up like incense

Through the stained glass window to a ledge

Where stood a tourist from Brussels

Inching up to the edge

[AMANDINE]

We'll come back again next Sunday

It never hurts to give these things a try

Let's hope that someone is up there

[TOURIST]

Goodbye

Goodbye!
