When the Baby Cries

When the Baby Cries is one of two cut songs from The Rugrats Movie. During the song, Stu and Didi have a nightmare where Dr. Lipschitz berates them in regards to parenting.

Lyrics
Lipschitz: Raising a baby is a serious venture.

Not to be embarked upon by the faint of heart.

Parents must make choices that are perfect and wise,

For you're doing something wrong when the baby cries.

You must consider, the psychology of the infant,

Nature vs. Nurture, Feed the ego; starve the mind.

You must anticipate each crisis sure to arise, For you're doing something wrong when the baby cries.

Don't forget the older when attending to the younger, Sibling rivalry can damage all of you.

Be a mother, don't smother, Why do you want a neurosis?

Failure to oralize can lead to toilet training disturbances.

Wrong!

Wrong!

Careful, now! No, no, no! Bad parents! Bad parents!

Raising a baby is a complicated venture. Not to be embarked on by a weaker constitution.

It's really something different, from what we fantasize,

You are doing something wrong when the baby cries.

It's really very different, from what we fantasize,

You are doing something wrong when the baby... starts to... cry!

Trivia

 * The song is re-added during CBS and Nickelodeon airings of the movie.
 * In 2018, it was revealed during an interview with Gábor Csupó that the main reason this was cut from the theatrical release and home media was because the test audiences at Paramount either found that the scene was just weird or didn't make sense while some found the imagery to be disturbing.
