Raise Your Shirt
Cry, cry! He’s hungry again.
Feel a let down kickin’ in,
Pop my nursing bra,
Bring my baby to my chest -
Then let him do all of the rest.
His eyes say, “Thank you, Ma.”
Lower risks of female cancer
Baby’s best immune enhancer.
Trims the tummy, saves you money.
Let’s get serious!
So raise your shirt if you are proud
To feed your baby
Just like Nature meant.
We will never be, never be
Anything but strong
And loving mothers -
All you nursing Moms!
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your shirt!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your shirt!
Why, why do they always try
To keep us hidden from the public eye?
Just get over it! (Get over it already)
I’ve got state and federal rights
To feed my little one in plain sight.
Dude, it’s just a tit. (Hello!)

Oh man, I leaked on my shirt...

Now we know, “Breast is best.”
They put it to the test.
You could choose to supplement
We can always, we can always
Pump to boost supply....
So raise your (Ow! Don’t bite Mommy.)
So raise your shirt if you are proud

ReplyDeleteShe's a breastfeeding and animal advocate. Part of that music video had women being pumped to feed a baby cow as a statement about all that. Maybe she would record this! Haha.
ReplyDeletei love this.
ReplyDeleteLove just my size bras 1960! Very comfortable, flattering fit and shaping and easy access for nursing. Seems to run a bit large but not terribly.
