Lyrics

VERSE 1:
Yo, I’m scrolling on my phone, trying to hit that link
But my finger’s way too big, can’t tap what I think
Two point five point five, that’s the rule we need to know
Forty-four by forty-four pixels, let those targets grow!
Hand tremors got me shaking, can’t hit that tiny spot
On the bus it’s even worse, missing every shot
Level Triple-A compliance, that’s what we’re talking ’bout
Making touch screens work for everyone, no doubt!

CHORUS:
Touch that target, make it big enough to see
Forty-four by forty-four, CSS pixels please!
Not everybody’s got that precision touch
Small targets cause frustration, way too much!
Touch that target, touch that target
Make it accessible, don’t forget it!

VERSE 2:
Some exceptions to the rule, let me break it down
Inline text don’t need that size when words wrap around
If your browser sets the size, you’re off the hook today
And if changing breaks the function, keep it small, okay!
But think about your users with their different needs
Shaky hands, thick fingers, one-handed deeds
On the train, in the rain, trying to navigate
Big targets help us all participate!

CHORUS:
Touch that target, make it big enough to see
Forty-four by forty-four, CSS pixels please!
Not everybody’s got that precision touch
Small targets cause frustration, way too much!
Touch that target, touch that target
Make it accessible, don’t forget it!

BRIDGE/OUTRO:****
Frequently used controls? Make ’em even bigger, friend
Hard to undo actions? Size them up again!
Near the edge or in sequence? Give more space to play
Two point five point five Enhanced – that’s the accessible way!
Touch screens everywhere, we all deserve to tap with ease
Forty-four pixels square, accessibility that frees!
