I remember one year on a church women's retreat, a couple of people were sitting around chatting with Clare Adella about her singer\songwriter career. I chimed in, "Laura is a songwriter too!" Everyone gave a surprised facial expression, thinking, "Really? I know Laura pretty well, how did i not hear about this?"
Laura said enthusiastically, "Oh yes, i write songs all the time!"
I exclaimed, "Sing the one about 'He likes to burp and eat potatoes!'"
She then entertained us with a rousing rendition of "He Likes To Burp and Eat Potatoes".
Our family's songs may not be as exciting as Kay and Laura's, but i would like to record them for posterity, so here you have a few of our favorites:
Who's My Baby Muffin Pie
to the tune of Camptown Races
Who's my baby muffin pie?
BabyGirl, BabyGirl!
Who's my baby muffin pie?
BabyGirl Alaina!
She's my muffin pie,
She's so very sweet.
Who's my baby muffin pie?
BabyGirl Alaina!
Very Hungry Girl
to the tune of La Cucaracha
Oh my Bright Eyes, she is so pretty
She's a very hungry girl
Oh my Bright Eyes, she is so pretty
She's a very hungry girl
We need to feed her; we need to smooch her
She's a very hungry girl
We need to feed her; we need to smooch her
She's a very hungry girl!
Carseat Song
Written by The Professor and BabyGirl
To the tune of Rockabye Baby
Rockabye Bright Eyes in your carseat
We will go driving til you're asleep
Then you will wake up and you'll be fed
And then we will lay you down in your bed
Bright Eyes' Sleeping Song
to the tune of the chorus of Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
Bright Eyes, Bright Eyes
Why do you wake up
Eightteen million times a night?
Bright Eyes, Bright Eyes
O! My Bright Eyes -
When will you start sleeping right?
When it comes to real songs, here is one of the best for little girls:
This post really tickled me, I wish I could hear you singing these! Thanks for the shout out as a songwriter, it's really Tripp that started the silly song train and I've just gone with the weirdness. Love it.
