Not knowing the words to baby songs

This is what I just heard coming from the other room - DH singing to DD: "Do do do do... do do do... E-I-E-I-O. With a meow meow here and a meow meow there... lots of animals on a farm... E-I-E-I-O". I'm almost peeing my pants laughing... but it's soooo cute! Although, I can't laugh too much because I know I butcher a lot of songs. I make up the weirdest things that "mama's gonna buy" her when I sing hush little baby. Who else has songs completely wrong when they sing to LO?

Re: Not knowing the words to baby songs
Yeah, well, I caught DH singing, "Skip to the loo." And he defending it, saying it was an english song about running to the bathroom.
That resulted in a smile, nod, then run two rooms away so I could quietly cackle to myself.
You would not believe the things that are on the bus!
Other than wheels, the driver, and the mommas and babies, I don't know what's supposed to be there! There's always puppies on our bus going woof woof woof and banjos on the bus going plink plank plonk and cows on the bus mooing. I would hate to be on our bus.
I do this too. I blame my grandparents who turned everything into a song.
My BFP Chart
The Ol'MacDonald that we know has a very diverse farm; with elephants and lions and dolphins and whales and anything else we can think of.
I made up my own bath time song because he gets his baths before bed. I will share. I hope you enjoy.
Remove your shirt and we took your diaper off
Grab you favorite towel cause its really really soft
head to the bathroom its your favorite time of night
turn on the faucet and get the temperature just right
Fill up the tub and you climp on in
Lay your head back thats where we'll begin
Scrub your little tushy and scrub your little feet
Get under those arms and get you smelling so sweet
Bathtime bathtime is so much fun
One more rinse and we're all done
Grab that towel and wrap up tight
Dry baby off and say good night!
I totally do this too. All the time. Without even realizing it. I catch myself doing it in public, and then I realize how crazy I must seem! But it makes LO smile, so c'est la vie!
Seriously. Liam will probably visit a farm one day, and be very disappointed when there are no dragons.
Hahaha! I love it! I do this too! Like PP, I'll share a few:
(Sang to the "Camptown Ladies" tune)
Oh, fat tum babies sing this song
Do Da Do Da
Fat tum babies sing this song
Oh Do Da Day
Fat tum babies sing this song
Do Da Do Da
Fat tum babies sing this song
Oh Do Da Day
Gonna eat all night
Gonna eat all day
Oh I put my money on that warm bottle
Somebody feed my right away!
(Sang to the "Oh Christmas Tree" tune)
Oh Joci-Bug, Oh Joci-Bug
How pretty are your tosies
Oh Joci-Bug, Oh Joci-Bug
How pretty are your tosies
You've got pink cheeks
And your eyes are blue
You've got brown hair
A fat tummy too
Oh Joci-Bug, Oh Joci-Bug
How pretty are your tosies!
I'm pretty sure DH thinks I'm crazy, and I probably should lay off the fat jokes lol
just want to say this made me laugh out loud.. good thing i'm home alone.
My hubby sings one to DD that goes something like
I'm a little pooper, thats what I do. poo, poo, poo....
me too. i've done this for years with our dogs- it's a disease ;-) we also googled the lyrics for a lot of the nursery rhymes, and frankly most of them are a little creepy (like the woman who swallowed the fly- i guess she'll die...) at least my made up songs are happy!
That song works like magic when I want Liam to calm down and let me clip his nails. I changed the lyrics to, "Oh my!" instead of the dying part, and the horse part to "That worked, of course!"
when i wet to pick up g after work today my mom was singing, "genevieve has got boogers on her toes, cause she sticks em up her nose!"
there was more.. but i was laughing too hard!
