About This Song

There’s always that one snack, the favorite toy, the thing your toddler absolutely needs right this second. And instead of asking, they’re already scaling the furniture like a tiny rock climber with zero safety training. “Ask For Help!” is the song for that moment. It’s a gentle reminder that parents are tall for a reason, and there’s no shame in letting someone reach it for you.

With its encouraging beat and easy-to-remember hook, this kids’ RnB / hip hop track teaches toddlers and preschoolers that asking for help is the move! And way better than climbing up the pantry shelves. It’s a safety song that doesn’t feel like a lecture, which is why it works!

Lyrics

🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵 🎵

If you can’t reach it
Ask for help
No point in climbing
Up on that shelf
Cause if you can’t reach it
Just ask for some help
If you don’t think you’ll reach it
Ask for help
I’m happy to help

If you climb too high
Then you could get stuck
Of even worse fall down
And hurt your little butt
I know your excited
And ready to explore
But let’s keep those little feet
Firmly on the floor

If you can’t reach it
Ask for help
Help for help baby
No point in climbing
Up on that shelf
No, no point at all!
If you can’t reach it
Ask for help
It’s okay to ask
I said if you can’t reach it
Ask for help
I’d love to help you

Parents are so tall
They can reach most every thing
Like toys in the cabinets
Or the snacks in the pantry

If you can’t reach it
Ask for help
Ask for help, baby
There’s no point in climbing
Up on that shelf
Oh no, too high
If you can’t reach it
Ask for help
Ask for help
I said if you can’t reach it
Ask for help
I’m here to help you

Stay safe little one
Stay safe out there

  • Teamwork (Makes the Dream Work!)

    ByWolfie

    Some things are just better together! Building a block tower, cleaning up toys, or playing outside on a nice day. “Teamwork (Makes the Dream Work!)” is a song about cooperation and collaboration. It’s the kind of song that gets stuck in your head for a reason: it’s a good message! We’re greater than the sum of our parts, and this track makes sure your kids know it.

  • Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)

    ByWolfie

    Every parent knows the scene: you just tidied up, turned around for one second, and your toddler has redecorated the entire room with blocks, trains, and dinosaurs. “Sorry Mommy (I Made a Mess)” captures that moment perfectly, the parenting experience told from the kid’s point of view. My three year old actually said “I’m sorry mommy, I made a mess” and I knew there was a song there!

  • Time To Get Dressed! (Put on Your Clothes)

    ByWolfie

    If the morning routine has a final boss, it’s getting your kid into clothes. They’re comfy. They don’t want to exit pajamas. Pants are optional in their worldview. “Time To Get Dressed!” turns the daily clothing struggle into a race against the song, and it really works! Challenge your kids to see if they can get dressed by the end of the song. One leg, two leg, shirt on the body now!

  • I’m Not Tired!

    ByWolfie

    The yawning. The eye rubbing. The absolute insistence that they are NOT tired. “I’m Not Tired!” is every bedtime negotiation set to a beat — the snack requests, the TV demands, the Bluey bargaining. And then the line that every parent feels in their bones: “My voice will be heard around the nation, because I lack emotional regulation.”

  • Did You Toot?

    ByWolfie

    “Did You Toot?” goes right into the giggle zone that every kid lives in and every parent has navigated… at the dinner table, in the car, and somehow always at the quietest possible moment. The song takes the silly and makes it smart, with verses about toots big and small!
