I grew up in a very musical family. My mom is constantly singing around the house, my grandfather, uncle and aunt all sang at my wedding... my grandmother has played the piano and organ for over 65 years... My siblings and I all play instruments (some of us more than one) and almost all of my 50+ cousins play one as well.
Needless to say, I learned some quirky songs over the years... and I have never encountered someone outside our family who knew them. So I thought I'd play a "Do you know this song?" game!
Here are a few of my favs (these are just a few, I have more - maybe I'll share at a later date):
LITTLE HUNK OF TIN
I'm a little hunk of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got 4 wheels and a driving board
I'm a ford, yes I'm a ford.
Honk, honk, rattle, rattle, crash, beep, beep
Honk, honk, rattle, rattle, crash, beep, beep
Honk, honk, rattle, rattle, crash, beep, beep
Honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk, honk
TEN LITTLE ANGELS
Ten little angels all dressed in white
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a kite
The kite string broke and down they fell
Instead of going to heaven they went to...
9 little angels all dressed in white...
8 little angels all dressed in white...
7 little angels all dressed in white...
6 little angels...
5 little angels...
4 little angels...
3 little angels...
2 little angels...
1 little angel all dressed in white
Tried to get to heaven on the end of a kite
The kite string broke and down they fell
Instead of going to heaven they went to -
Now don't you cry,
Don't loose your head,
Instead of going to heaven they went to BED!
STAY ON THE SUNNY SIDE

And to end this post with my moms most overused joke:
What do you do if you get stuck in an elephant?
Run around until you get pooped out!
Happy Singing!
Nope, can't say that I've ever heard any of those quirky little songs, but I'm always on the lookout for new ones to sing to Corbin. It's amazing just how much of our childhood we forget when we get older. lol

Miss Behavin - If I had a better singing voice I would record and post the audio because the kids really enjoy these... but I don't want to scare people AWAY from reading my blog, so I have to steer clear of that!
