Mother: Mary-Kate!
Ashley: Mom`s calling.
Mary-Kate: Really? I don`t hear anything.
Mother: Time to brush your teeth!
Ashley: You`re right. I don`t hear anything either.
I hear caterpillars crawling`
Through the grass so late at night
I hear the earth worms wiggling`
In the early morning light
I can hear grasshoppers walking`
On their feet so light and small
But not matter what I`m doing`
I can`t hear my parents call
Chorus:
I can`t hear my parents call
Though they call out loud and clear
They can shout until they`re hoarse
It will never reach my ears
If they`re shouting` in the summer
If they`re screaming` in the fall
Any season, any reason
I can`t hear my parents call
I can always hear the secrets
That my parents try to keep
I can hear them late at night
When they thing that I`m asleep
When they`re whispering` in the basement
I can hear them in the hall
But when they want to get me
I can`t hear my parents call
Chorus
They took me to the doctor
She wired up my ears
I heard the softest sound
That anyone could hear
She gave me a certificate
It`s hanging on my wall
It says my ears are great
I just can`t hear my parents call
Chorus (2 times)
