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
