Story Behind The Song
I love writing kids songs. The simplicity of it all. In this gem, the singer offers some suggestions as to what to eat, where to live, and what music you care to listen to. In the end, the singer concludes that these may be "hard" choices!
Song Description
How about asking yourself what to eat 3 to 5 times a day?
Or, what style house can you afford to live in? Or what style of music do you want to hear? The singer concludes, that these choices are "hard" at the end of the day!
The lyrics say this in a very clever kind of way. And I interject humor in every line!

Lyrics
VERSE ONE
HOW ABOUT SOME SAUERKRAUT OR MAYBE SOME ICE CREAM,
HOW ABOUT SOME MEAT I HAVE PROVIDED THAT IT'S LEAN.
HOW ABOUT SOME SUCCOTASH SOME MORNING SHREDDED WHEAT,
GEE YA KNOW IT'S HARD TO DECIDE WHAT A PERSON LIKES TO EAT!
VERSE TWO
HOW ABOUT A YELLOW HOUSE A PICKET FENCE OR TWO,
HOW ABOUT A BIG RED BARN OR WILL A COTTAGE DO.
HOW ABOUT A MANSION AS A RICH ALTERNATIVE,
GEE YA KNOW IT'S HARD TO DECIDE WHERE A PERSON LIKES TO LIVE!
VERSE THREE
HOW ABOUT SOME ROCK N ROLL OR WILL SOME MOZART DO,
HOW ABOUT A CHOPIN WALTZ IN TRIPLE TIME FOR YOU.
HOW ABOUT A MARCHING BAND TO MAKE YOU SMILE AND CHEER,
GEE YA KNOW IT'S HARD TO DECIDE WHAT A PERSON LIKES TO HEAR!
