Mumsnet Talk

I've just been bathing my DD and made up this daft song.
Splish, splash,
I'm in the bath,
Im Playing with my walrus,
It is blue,
I am too,
Especially when I do a poo.

My one year old DD loved it, she's a good audience! She has a blue walrus bath toy.

(to the tune of Sex Bomb, while changing nappies)

Stink Bomb!
Stink Bomb!
You're a stink bomb!
You sure make it stinky
When that stink bomb comes along!
(repeat to fade...)

Derivative, yes, but also funny.

When ds was little and liked some little tinned fruit selections, we used to have the Fruitime Song.

My piece of pear
Goes up in the air
My piece of pear
Goes up in the air
My piece of pear
Goes up in the air
But still I will eat it all up. Up! Up!

Next verse

My piece of papaya
Goes igher and higher etc

Next verse

My piece of peach
Goes right out of reach etc

Next verse

My piece of pineapple
Goes too high to grapple etc

And we also had

There was a young man called Jonathan Bonathan
He'd one sock off and one sock onathan
He didn't know where the other one had goneathan
And that's what happened to Jonathan Bonathan

Love them . Might pinch the stink bomb one and sing it to DD at nappy change think she will love it

Well, mine thinks its hysterical.

I like Jonathan Bonathan!

The nappy changing song (when circumstances allowed):

There's no poo!
There's no poo!
There's no poo in the nip-nap-noo!!

repeat. Endlessly. with insane enthusiasm.

Every time dd gets her nappy changed / goes for a bath we sing

It's not about the bummy bummy bummy
We don't need no bummy bummy bummy
We just wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Bummy

Ain't about the (uh) Bu bum bu bum
Aint about the (yeah) Ba-Bling Ba-Bling
Wanna make the world dance,
Forget about the Bummy

<dies of embarrassment>

Jake the Snake,
Lived Under A Rake,
And Under the Sun,
His Head Did Bake,
So He went to cool,
Down at the Pool

Jonathan Bonathan goes to the tune of Michael Finnegan btw....

He is 12 now, and we still sometimes call him Jonathan Bonathan!

You don't have to be mad to be a mummy, but it does help!

Little man, little man
Are you crying 'cause you can?
Little man, Little man,
Daddy drives a big white van
Little dude, little dude
Do not burp for it is rude
Little boy, little boy
Would you like a noisy toy?

<repeat whilst grinning/gurning inanely>

Trying to come up with rhyme for little fella but nothing as yet.

Don't think it's going to knock rock a bye baby off the top spot...

Little fella little fella
You're looking kinda mella (mellow)

I made up a different wee song for each of my dc when they were potty training. in my defence they were fantastically awful sleepers and I was basically insane with sleep deprivation.

Dd's was:

Widdle widdle widdely wee
Widdle widdle widdle woo
Widdle widdle wiiddely wee
Widdle widdle woo.

Whereas ds's was

If you need to do a wee
Or even a great big poo poo
Do a little widdle widdle
Piddley pee
Or piddle puddle piddle puddle poo.

Little fell little fella
I sometimes think well I (well a)
Couldn't love you more than I do

<needs a life>

When DD was newborn, she screamed when we undressed her for a bath, so I would sing:
Little missy moo
Little missy moo
Is a chicken licken
And she's got a rabbit bum!

Thanks for input Beawheesht. It's a tricky one. I was working with the word umbrella but couldn't get the right number of syllables. It's right catchy though as 4 yo dd has cottoned on and I caught her singing it to him yesterday although she says 'would you like an icecream van' .

I rather like the term nippy nappy noo above.

To the (sort of tune) of Dingle Dangle Scarecrow we have our Underwater Dinosaur song (she has a green plastic toy in the bath)

Words made up as we go along but examples:

"I'm an underwater dinosaur, I'm nibbling on your toes,
And when I've finished, I'm going to nibble your nose"

"I'm an underwater dinosaur, I like splashing in the bath,
I like to tickle you and make you laugh"

Love these! I make up so many but the most recent was (to the tune of How Deep is Your Love):

How deep is your bath
How deep is your bath
I really need to know
'Cos if it is too deep you will drown

I made up a great rap for my DS about his cuddly Club Penguin puffle/penguin.

My name is Benji
And I'm a penguin
Turn me inside out and I'm a puffle
Do the hustle
Watch me shuffle
I'm a puffle

you are all mad sleep deprived

Whilst marching up the stairs to change a nappy...
It's all aboard the nappy train woo hoo woo hoo
It's a one way ticket to the nap nap land woo hoo woo hoo
Lets put a clean one on you
Lets put a clean one on
Lets put a clean one on girl
Lets put a clean one on

It's my finest song out of many!

At bedtime:

Lullaby, go to sleep
Put your head on the pillow,
Have a dream, a nice long one
And I'll see you in the morniiiing

i thought it was just me going slowly mad singing random tunes to dd2 in the shower....

tonights went to jessy j...

do you need a hairwash, hairwash, hairwash?
oh yes you need a hairwash, hairwash, hairwash.....
and when you've had a haaaaairwash,
we'll wash your little boooody.....

whilst washing (incase you hadn't guessed )

dd2 is 3yo and giggles away at my random songs.....my 6yo kinda looks at me like i have a second head growing on top of the one i already have

i also do getting dressed ones, toothbrushing ones, hairbrushing ones etc....all completely on the spot to whatever is on the radio at the time

<cd out soon>

Most recently, to the tune of Gay Bar by Electric Six:
Girl! I wanna change your little nappy!
I wanna change your little nappy!
Change your na-ppy, na-ppy, nappy!
Girl! Gonna wipe your bum!
Wipe your cute little bum!
Put on a na-ppy, nappy, NAPPY! WOW!!!
You're a superstar in your nappy! (Repeat while boogieing like a total fruitloop)
