Parents Get Cross

Lyrics

All parents do get cross sometimes Human patience is limited Turns to anger as a small hour chimes The thousands scream to be comforted

An older child will know when he shouldn't Does it anyway — something shatters that breaks You gasp, no he couldn't Why he did it hardly matters

All parents do get cross sometimes Human patience is limited

When a child breaks a rule You can't be a statue of justice Good parents feel strongly Only a fool doesn't care what the meaning of must is

But your indignance won't hurt him Indeed, he'll expect it when it's fair Anger can boil over the rim

You've been just too patient Beware of long-suffering Admit you're mad Tell a friend, anger's not bad
