Quirky /old-fashioned songs to sing to LO - suggestions please!

[hinkybinky]

Phoebe has her own song too, it goes "I'm a little Phoebe small and cute, fill me up and watch me puke" to the tune of I'm a little teapot. 14yo dd came up with that one

Love it!

I sing round the mulberry bush and change the verses to whatever we're doing at the time e.g.
This is the way we change our bum, change our bum, change our bum, this is the way we change our bum (and then I change it from cold and frosty morning now its summer) on a hot and grumpy morning

Oooh, that's a good one

 

[Lollip0p]

row row row, but change the words and animals around
animal fair
going to the circus
shaking like a jelly
dingle dangle scarecrow
10 fat sausages

I will think of some more for you x

Chu Chi Face from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is LO's favourite including lots of tickling! I sing non stop.... Wheels on the bus, Barneys I love you song, all nursery rhymes, ten in the bed, 10 green bottles, 1 man went to mow a meadow, the music man.... The list is endless! Now started adding show tunes inc Me And My Girl!

Wee Willy winkie
London bridge
Can't think of anything more atm!

Daisy, daisy give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy, all for the love you.
It won't be a stylish marraige.
I can't afford a carraige.
But you'd look sweet, upon the seat,
of a bicycle made for two.

We're all going to the zoo tomorrow
I'm a pink toothbrush, you're a blue toothbrush
Changing the guards at Buckingham palace
puff the magic dragon
I think there was one about an ant and a dam?
And inch worm

That's all I can remember for now...

Sounds like fun in your house!! I will need to look up the lyrics to some of these. I don't think I will handle Puff the Magic Dragon without a few tears though. My hubby and I always have a pink and a blue toothbrush just like the song, awww

I've never seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang *hangs head in shame*

But I can think of a few from Mary Poppins. Ooh, show tunes, a whole new avenue to explore :-D

Lo's favourite is Wind the bobbing up!

We also sing..."Clap clap your handys, daddys coming home...pennys for Harry and mummy gets none".....He loves that while im clapping his hands!

He also loves horsey horsey while sitting on legs bouncing up and down.

Can you see this playlist?

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=PLCCADB884E6DFA6B7&feature=mh_lolz

I've been sat on youtube digging up all my childhood songs lol.

 

[minties]

A favourite here is:

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Pat it and prick it (though I say roll it and pat it) and mark it with T,
Put it in the oven for Thomas and me.

The most fun is making up your own words to things. Like Oliva Newton-Johns "Let's get physical", I sing "Thomas is super cute, super cute. I know he is super cute, super cute!"
