My kids sing a lot.  I mean: a whole lot.  Especially Luke, age 7, who improvises songs wherever he goes.  He sings while playing, he might break into song at breakfast, and he sings while on the toilet.  In fact, it would be unusual for him to sit on the toilet and not sing.  In the photo above, he’s wearing a giant bucket on his head while singing because he likes the acoustics.

Here are a few lines from his songs over the past year:

• I’m an idiot, yes I am / I hold the idiot’s future here in my hand / Gonna sing and shout it / It’s great to be an idiot / Every single person has stupidity!
• My butt is hairy / It’s very hairy like a skunk / I have the butt of a skunk / And you can’t have it.
• When Dad wakes up like that / Get the man some coffee!
• I’m staring out the window / And everybody’s staring back. / I think they know I’m naked / And I’m about to do a dance.
• Yeah, yeah, nah, nah /  I call my daddy dada / I don’t want to stop now / To get my data.
• I’m shaking my booty, booty in the air, air, air / And everyone can smell that it’s my derrière.
• It makes the butt say butt / When the stink says stew / Buzz in the booze / And the what’s in the butt.
• You might think I’m a foolish boy / You might think I’m weird / And sometimes it’s true.
• I never change my mind, yes I do, yes I do! / I always change my mind, no I don’t, no I don’t!
• You stopped me in my tracks / And asked if I had Exlax / The answer is still no / But I can tell you where to go.
• I, I, I… am, am, am… THE NINJA PIG!…  THE NINJA PIG! (accompanied by fists punching the air)
• We could fly to the moon / If I kicked you hard enough.

There are many more.  Butts and farts are regular subjects of these little ditties.

How about you?  Do your kids sing?
