I broke my arm,

it’s in a cast.

Woe

I fell off the mon key bars, it was such a trag e dy.

Woe

is

me.

Now I have a bright green cast, all my friends will sign it.

Find a spot and add your name, ’cause I’m nev er gon na break my arm a gain!

I broke my arm,

it’s in cast.

Cast comes off to mor row, yeah!

Broken Arm Woes by Mona Rejino — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “Broken Arm Woes” by Mona Rejino in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 120 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
