Oh Gillian, youâre up with the sun
Youâve done a hundred things before half past nine
By the time most folk are up and gone
Youâll be starting on one hundred and one
Thereâs not enough hours in a day
To do all the things sheâs just got to do
When the daylight fades and the night invades
Sheâs only just begun
Weary as you lay at night waiting for the sun
Planning out tomorrow now before this day is done
âGillian you work too hardâ
But donât you try to slow her down â sheâll tell you
âIdleness is good for none work's how I get my fun
Idleness is good for none work's how I get things doneâ
Gillian youâre the one youâre the one
Shining in my life, youâre my eternal sun
Iâm trying to thank you now for what Iâve become
But Iâve only just begun
Your influence has been profound and Iâm proud to be your son
Your blood is my blood we are forever bound
Youâre the inspiration to the way I live my life
Iâm singing,
Gillian if you werenât my mother I would make you my wife
Gillian if you werenât my mother Iâd make you my wife
Gillian if you werenât my mother Iâd make you my wife
Gillian if you werenât my mother I would make you my wife
