Pick Up a Screen
by @dawnsoap
Liner Notes
I've been tinkering with the idea of making an album of songs for kids that gives them bad advice (to be silly of course). Keeping it safe, lighthearted, and in a way that kids can say "no that's wrong"... because they might face some bad advice and need to be able to notice it when they hear it.
Lyrics
Intro: I've heard that ignorance is bliss and "ignorance" means "not smart" "Bliss" means "super happy" So let's all do our part...
Chorus: Pick up a screen if you want to have joy Watch more T.V Each and every girl and boy People who are smart Are often very sad. So pick up a screen It's sure to make you glad!
V1 I guess you can read a bit, if you really want too But balance out that reading With a movie or two
And sure you can do math, If your mommy says it's fine... but don't forget not to get too smart your walking a fine line
Chorus
V2 Let your mom and dad be on their screens as well They probably need a break and want to feel swell
If they seem really sad Then you can do your part Just hand them a screen, and make their brains less smart.
Chorus
I like the idea of Bad Advice songs for kids. I think my kids would have loved shouting No, No, No to this song.
