well, yeah...kinda

But what about us poor parents?

"Be Kind To Your Parents"
1954. Harold Rome. From the 'Fanny' musical.

This is one of my favourite songs fullstop. A short, sweet ditty to make your beautiful children smile this holiday season, 10/10 on the cutesy meter...





"Be Kind To Your Parents"


Be (F)kind to your parents
Al(C7)though they don't deserve it
Remember that 'parent' it's a (F)difficult stage of life
They're apt to be nervous
And (C7)over excited:
Consumed by their daily storm and (F)strife(F7)

Just keep in (Bb)mind(Bbm)
Though it seems (F)hard, I know
Most (C)parents were (G)children (C)long a(Gm)go...In(C7)credible!

So (F)treat them with patience (C7)and gentle understanding
In spite of all the foolish things they (F)do(F7)
For one (Bb)day you may (Bbm)wake up and (C7)find
That you're a parent (F)too!


Merry Christmas mums and dads!!!
