The Children's Hour
Children’s music, with its fads,
Distresses frazzled moms and dads.
There is music that you daren’t
Mention when you meet a parent.
Watch how any parent winces
Hearing songs by Disney princes,
Even worse when young princésses
Sing the songs of their distresses,
And you never should remark
About that bouncy “Baby Shark,”
Or the sweet and simple blarney
Of that gentle dino Barney.
Last, not least, the direct and daffy
Children’s music sung by Raffi.
