I love to sing & I always have. I sing in the car, in the shower, in the kitchen, outside, & though I'd rather not admit it, sometimes even along with the music in the grocery store. : P My love of singing does not equal a knowledge of lyrics however. Many times I've found out that I've been singing the wrong words for years.
Apparently, that gift is inherited. Rebecca loves to sing, too, but her choice of lyrics always makes me laugh. Sometimes she does it to be silly, other times I think she's just a victim of her genes. Here's what we were just singing before naptime...
I was guiding her through the alphabet song.
(Her lyrics are in CAPS.)
a, b... C, D... e, f... G... h, i, j, k, l, m... N, O, P... q, r... S... t,u... V... w... S... y and ... CARROT. Now I know my ... A, B, C... next time... DON'T TAKE MY SUNSHINE AWAY.Then she sang her own rendition of
The Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly:
'Nother old lady swallowed a duck, swallowed a chicken, swallowed a mustard, swallowed a elephant, swallowed a blue eye with some pink on it...
I was singing at the grocery store just today... Luckily Julia was not embarassed. :)
ReplyDeleteI sing in the grocery store, too. :) And then Clare or Jacob usually tell me to stop. :(
ReplyDeleteI love how kids sing lyrics. Here's Jacob's latest version of "Down by the Station" (it hasn't made it to the blog yet, but it probably will soon): "Down by station, early in morning. See the PEPPERONI all in a row." :)
Yeah, I don't listen to music like I used to and I notice I now sing "blah, blah, blah" much more frequently.
ReplyDeleteAnd this reminded me...aren't you the one who used to sing "carry a laser" instead of "kyrie eleison" to the Mr. Mister song? I could be wrong...
