Best Singers in the World Singing the Silliest Song

The kiddos are into silly songs right now. And apparently, when they sing "the silliest song in the world" at school, the teacher tells the class that they are the best singers in the world. Which very much pleased my kids, who have been serenading me every dinnertime with their rendition of this song:

(chorus)

It ain't gonna rain no more, no more

It ain't gonna rain no more

How in the heck can I wash my neck

If it ain't gonna rain no more?

Oh, a peanut sat on the railroad track 

His heart was all a-flutter 

Along came the 5:05 

And--uh-oh--peanut butter!

(chorus)

A woman took a bath

She didn't tell a soul

She forgot to put the stopper in

And slipped right down the hole!

(chorus)

I woke up in the morning
I glanced up at the wall
The roaches and the bedbugs
Were having a game of ball.
The score was four to nothing
The roaches were ahead
A beetle hit a homerun
And knocked me out of bed!

(chorus)

I didn't know it went like that. I knew the chorus, who knows why. And a whole song about beetles and bedbugs playing a game of ball. Not roaches. But oh it is fun to hear them sing it, with Bud singing out loud and shaking his head to do it and Sis making sure we get all the lyrics exactly right, smiling the whole time at herself.

And then they have me sing all the silly songs I know: "Little Bunny Foo Foo," "The Doughnut Shop," "The Buffalo Song," "Peanut Butter and Jelly," and their favorite . . . "Little Cabin in the Woods." What's funny about that, you ask? It's the humming. Especially when you get to the point with "'help me! help me! help' he said." I sound like a maniac dolphin. They just about fall on the floor laughing.

No wonder dinner takes longer these days.
