Kind of reminds me of a parody of Funiculi, Funicula that Doctor Demento used to play titled “Marvin” by Christine Nelson:
“Some think that kids today are awfully thankless.You ask me why? I’ll tell you why!It stems from the fact today that kids are spanklessAnd yet they cry…oh how they cry!
“We try to buy him everything we’re able;We bought him clothes…a brand-new nose…Marvin, get out from underneath the table,Your brand-new nose just ripped my hose!
“Marvin! Marvin! You’re a rotten kid!Marvin! Marvin! look at what you did!Don’t break my heart, do as you’re told, you know your mommy hates to scold.Stop chewing on your teddy bear, you’re twenty-eight years old!!!”
