about
“Mama’s House, Daddy’s House” is a modern family tale written by Peruvian-born actor, teaching artist, children’s musician and writer Albert Iturregui-Elias, along with his son Sebastian at age 5 (2004) to provide a positive model for children who divide their time between two homes. The story is told through young Sebastian’s voice using Haiku. In the story we learn how each home is unique and special to him, and that he feels very loved. “Two homes = One Heart Filled with Love.”
The story was later developed into a song by Sebastian’s Mom, singer/songwriter Suzi Shelton along with her producer Dan Siegler for their award-winning family album No Ordinary Day (2008). The song has just recently been re-imagined, re-recorded and reproduced by Greg Mayo and Dan Weiner with a fresh new sound and features the sweet voice of Sebastian’s youngest sister, Julia (age 7).
lyrics
I live in Park Slope - It’s in Brooklyn, New York
A slope is a hill - a slope is a hill
Mama’s place is up - Daddy’s apartment is down
I have one... two homes - I have one… two homes
Hey do you - do you know what?
I love Mama and Daddy
They love me so much
Hey do you - do you know what?
I love Mama and Daddy
They love me so much
There is a diner - Dizzy’s is the name of it
Love to munch our lunch - love to munch our lunch
I ride my bike down - I go faster and faster
I’m supersonic, I’m supersonic
Hey do you - do you know what?
I love Mama and Daddy
They love me so much
Hey do you - do you know what?
I love Mama and Daddy
They love me so much
Mama’s House (I’m missing Daddy)
Daddy’s House (Now I miss my Mom)
One heart (I know they love me)
Filled with love
Mama’s House (Not always easy)
Daddy’s House (To go back and forth)
One heart (I know they love me)
Filled with love
I paint at Mama’s - she loves when I get messy
At Mom’s we’re artists - At Mom’s we’re artists
When I’m at Daddy’s there’s a special place to sleep
I sleep in a bunk - I sleep in a bunk
I play with my trains - the trains are always coupled
I’m the conductor, I’m the conductor
Hey do you - do you know what?
I love Mama and Daddy
They love me so much
Hey do you - do you know what?
I love Mama and Daddy
They love me so much
