Answer 1

NO CHARGE
As recorded by Melba Montgomery
Writer: Harlan Howard

Recitation:

My little boy came up to me
In the kitchen this evening
While I was fixing supper
And he handed me a piece of paper
He'd been writing on
And after wiping my hands on my apron
I read it and this is what it said:

For mowing the yard - five dollars
For making my own bed this week - one dollar
Going to the store - fifty cents
Playing with little brother
While you went to the store - twenty-five cents
Taking out the trash - one dollar
Getting a good report card - five dollars
And for raking the yard - two dollars

Total owed - fourteen seventy-five

Well, I looked at him standing there expectantly
And a thousand memories flashed through my mind
And so I picked up the pen and turning the paper over
This is what I wrote:

For nine months I carried you
Growing inside me - NO CHARGE
For the nights I've sat up with you
Doctored you, prayed for you - NO CHARGE
For the time and the tears
That you cost through the years
There's NO CHARGE
When you add It all up
The full cost of my love is NO CHARGE

For the nights filled with dread
And the worries ahead, NO CHARGE
For the advice and knowledge
And the cost of your college - NO CHARGE
For the toys, food and clothes
And for wiping your nose
There's NO CHARGE
When you add It all up
The full cost of my love is NO CHARGE

Recitation:
Well, when he finished reading
He had great big old tears in his eyes
And he looked up at me and said
"Mom, I sure do love you."
Then he took the pen
And in great big letters he wrote: "Paid In full"

Tag:
When you add it all up, the cost of real love is NO CHARGE

Answer 2

Hey,the song you are talking about is called " No Charge". It is a Country song. I am not sure when it was released but knew exactly what song you were talking about. I did some research to help you out better. Tammy Wynette sings a version of the song but uses a girl instead of a boy. I have a Country cd around I thought with that song on it but also checked it online with a music program I have called LimeWire. The person I think who you want is Melba Montgomery. This is the version with the boy in it.

Answer 3

The lyrics are "Shush girl. Shut your lips. Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips." The song is Don't Trust Me by 3OH!3. :)

Answer 4

Isn't it called "No Charge?" I think it is by Shirley Caesar, but I didn't check that.
