When I was little I'm sure mother sung many a song to me.
The one I remember the most is "On Top of Spaghetti" and since it's really the only song of that nature I can actually remember the words to, I sing it to Dax
It's too funny because I remember being so sad and feeling so sorry for the meatball that I wanted to cry.
Dax really likes the mocking bird song, but I always have to make up words to that because I can't remember those lyrics at all.
You know, the
"Hush little baby don't say a word, Mama's gonna buy you a mocking bird.
If that mocking bird don't sing, mama's gonna buy you a diamond ring [yeah, I know... a bit fruity to sing that to a boy].
If that diamond ring don't shine .... (and here is where I forget the lyrics and end up making ones that rhyme off the top of my head. I'm horrible at rhyming!!)
If that diamond ring don't shine, mama's gonna buy you some turpentine (sp).
If that turpentine really stinks, mama's gonna buy you a piece of meat.
If that piece of meat has maggots, mama's gonna buy you a Harley jacket...
Just horrible..
but he really loves that tune. So I'm going to have to figure out a way to sing "Jesus Loves Me" lyrics with the "Mockingbird" tune.
And thank goodness babies don't care if you can't carry a tune [or so says the experts]. It must be true because if it weren't I'm sure Dax would be crying instead of smiling.

On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to the floor,
And then my poor meatball,
Rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden,
And under a bush,
And then my poor meatball,
Was nothing but mush.
The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze
