'My Banana Song'

[BubbleOne]

Sami just mentioned it in one of my 'won't sleep' threads so I thought I would share it with you.

I am yet to meet a baby that doesn't like it. They all dance to it and if they are crying it normally cheers them up etc

Here it is:

Peel Banana, Peel Peel Banana,
Peel Banana, Peel Peel Banana,

Mash Banana, Mash Mash Banana,
Mash Banana, Mash Mash Banana,

Shake Banana, Shake Shake Banana,
Shake Banana, Shake Shake Banana,

Go Banana, Go Go Banana,
Go Banana, Go Go Banana.

Try it and tell me how they react

 

Damien thinks it's the most halerious thing ever to come out of someones mouth! he loves it!

Sing it a lovely high pitched voice!

Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel banana, peel peel bananaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Gets boring after you have sang it 5 times in a row though

 

[Em78]

We go to a baby singing group that one of the mums around here runs once a week for £2- it's great! Some songs not mentioned yet in this thread are:-

The Wheels on the Bus
Jumping up and down on my little red tracker
She'll be Coming Round the Mountain
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Jelly on a Plate
Tommy Thumb
The Grand Old Duke of York
Little Miss Muffet
Horsey Horsey

You can get CDs of baby songs from the library, I got some out when he was very little and I didn't know what to do with him although the women on them always sing so "proper"!!

mine is really embarrasing but alex thinks its so funny....

devil in disguise - by elvis!

you have to do it as elvis though or its not funny!

i started it when alex was being a right cheeky pickle so i was chasing him (he loves being chased!) calling him a little devil and started singing that song. its very apt if you dont know the lyrics....

you look like an angel
talk like an angel
walk like an angel
but i got wise,

you're a devil in disguise - oh yes you are, a devel in disguise mmmmm mmm mmm (elvis style mmmm's!)

ok i have made enough of a fool of myself by admitting this so i am off now

[does anyone know dingle dangle scarecrow? the kids loved that at the creche i used to work at

Yeah I love that song!!

 

[katie05]

I sing all kinds of songs but he esp loves:

Row, Row your boat
5 little speckled frogs
Peter Rabbit has a fly upon his nose
If your happy and you know it
Theres a tiny caterpillar on a leaf (wiggle, wiggle)

Come to think of it i think its the silly actions i do whilst singing them..he he.x

 

[Kim]

5 little speckled frogs is the best song ever!!
