I'll pick my socks up
Mom's not my maid
I should ignore the things my weird friends do
So many nights wide awake she laid
Would I come home with piercings or tattoos?
The years are passing
They go so fast
I'm glad Mom emphasized the Golden Rule
But I was worried and glad she passed
On that threat of military school
Pablum... (The years are passing, they go so fast,)
Talcum... (I'm glad Mom emphasized the Golden Rule,)
Tantrum... (But I was worried and glad she passed)
Where's Mom? (On that threat of military school.)
We know a mother's work is never done,
She's always helping, right from the start
When there's a problem, she's always calm,
There's nothing tender as a mother's heart.
Tantrum... (We think we're grown-up, we're so mature,)
Problem... (But when there's trouble or we feel distress,)
Be calm... (There's one thing that we all know for sure)
Here's mom! (We'll need our mothers to clean up the mess.)
There's one thing
That we all know for sure...
Nothing's tender as a mother's heart!
A MOTHER'S HEART!
Which Italian opera is that melody from?

@HubertHeller Sorry about the delay. I had to ask friends on a music forum. The composer is Bizet. The opera is "Carmen" and the song is "Habanera" :)
