Lyrics to: Nina Doesn’t Care by Susan Egan and Brian Haner

I’ve been up since 4 a.m.
‘Cause she had runny nose
Changed her diapers -twice
Washed her dirty clothes.
She threw down her sippy cup
And then smeared me with some jam.
I looked at her and said,
“Don’t you know who I am?”

Nina doesn’t care
If I was once a star
She just pulls my hair
As I strap her in the car.
She’s never seen me soar
Charm them with a song
Once an ingenue
To her I’m only mom.
When I’m on stage it’s like I walk on air
Nina doesn’t care.

The Times said I was stunning
I got four stars from the Post.
Nina only giggles,
Whacks me with her toast.
As she puts me throug
