Help me with a song!

I need a song that is short (about 2.5 minutes) and won’t offend teenage (14-15 year old) ears.

The lyrics need to be easy to hear.

Any ideas?

Octopus' Garden by The Beatles is fairly inoffensive and might be under three minutes. In fact, most Beatles stuff prior to Revolver should fit your criteria.

"Ask" by The Smiths - see my username 😂

’Yesterday’ is very clear and has a simple melody. I don’t think it could offend anyone!

Thanks for the great suggestions!

I teach English to foreign teenagers. I have a game where they need to find words featured in a song.

It needs to be short to keep their attention.

I‘ll check out the suggestions now!

Octopus' Garden vocal lines are nicely spaced out so hopefully that will help.
