Wildren from Wildren by Andrew Saletta and Company

Verse 1:

Papa says don’t pick yer’ boogers and eat em’.
Papa says don’t leave the hall light on.
Mama says don’t stay up too late reading.
Mama says gotta get them veggies gone.

Verse 2:
Papa says don’t leave the garage door open,
Otherwise little mice and rats’ll get in.
Mama says gotta clean your room at least occasionally,
So we don’t walk in and break a shin.

Chorus:
Yeah, we love you, you know that we do.
That’s why we’ve got these silly, silly rules to help you through.
Yeah, you are wild, angelic little child.
We hope you stay that way despite these rules that we both say.
Yeah, we love you, you know that it’s true.
Your wildness brings so much bliss we know there ain’t a thing that we could fix.

Verse 3:
Papa says gotta wash your hands before dinner,
Yeah I saw you diggin’ in that mud.
Mama says don’t leave the water running,
The last thing that we need is a bathroom flood.

Verse 4:
Papa says don’t leave the front door open,
Otherwise little flies and gnats’ll get in.
Mama says don’t gorge yourself on candy,
Don’t wanna go and have to fetch that vomit bin.

Chorus:
Yeah, we love you, you know that we do.
That’s why we’ve got these silly, silly rules to help you through.
Yeah, you are wildren, angelic little children.
We hope you stay that way despite these rules we dole out day by day.
Yeah, we love you, you know that it’s true.
Your wildness brings so much bliss we know there ain’t a thing that we could fix.

Bridge:
Oh! You gotta drink some water. Put your sunscreen on,
You gotta brush your hair. Where’s the lemonade gone?
Did you feed the dog? There’s a hole in your pants.
Now, don’t you go startin’ that giggle wiggle dance.
Always be kind stand up for yourself,
Listen to your heart don’t leave it on the shelf.
Protect one another always have your friends back,
Don’t you start any gossip or be talkin’ no smack. Don’t be talkin’ no smack.

Chorus:
Because you know that we love you, you know that we do.
That’s why we’ve got these silly, silly rules to help you through.
Yeah, you are wildren, magical little children.
We hope you stay that way despite these rules that we all say.
Yeah, we love you, you know that it’s true.
Your wildness brings so much bliss we know there ain’t a thing that we could fix.

Verse/Coda:
Papa says don’t forget to hug me at bed time.
Mama says don’t forget that I love you!
