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 think 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)
