ListenLiedIt can help children develop language and strengthen their memory, move them and give them the opportunity to express themselves. An arsenal of silly nursery rhymes can help quell boredom, make long car rides go by faster, and maybe even convince kids that cleaning is fun. But most children's songs are irritating to say the least. Children's music has its perks, but we could all take a break from the more familiar nursery rhymes like Baby Shark.
The magic of these goofy songs is their use of rhyme, repetition, and frankly ridiculous premises that keep their listeners entertained. These goofy tunes welcome a variety of tastes, including some vintage and classic tunes, as well as some more modern "pop" tunes. They are easy to remember and therefore easy to learn for toddlers and toddlers. Goofy tunes can be especially helpful for changing the mood when a meltdown seems imminent. The only downside to these silly nursery rhymes is getting them out of your head.
on spaghetti
by Tom Glasser
On spaghetti, all topped with cheese
I lost my poor meatball when someone sneezed.
Rolled off the table, rolled across the floor
And then my poor meatball rolled out the door.
Rolled in the garden and under a bush.
And then my poor meatball was just mush.
The porridge was as delicious as could be
And by the beginning of the next summer, she turned into a tree.
The tree was all covered with beautiful moss.
He grew big meatballs and tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti with cheese,
Hold onto your meatball and never sneeze.
Tiny Tim a Tartaruga
There was a little turtle
His name was little Tim.
I put it in the bathtub
to see if he can swim.
He drank all the water, ate all the soap.
Now he's lying in the bathtub with a blister in his throat.
Blase Blase Blase
Blase Blase Blase
Blase Blase Blase
Blase Blase POP!
raindrops
Von Joseph K Phillips
That isLied, which originally appeared inBarneyLet the children imagine what a world made of candy would look like. At the end of each verse, the children open their mouths to receive sweet raindrops.
When all raindrops
It was lemon drops and gummy bears
What kind of rain is that supposed to be?
Stand outside with your mouth wide open
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
When all raindrops
It was lemon drops and gummy bears
Oh what rain it would be
When all snowflakes
It was candy bars and shakes
Oh, what snow that would be
Stand outside with your mouth wide open
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
When all snowflakes
It was candy bars and shakes
Oh, what snow that would be
When all raindrops
It was lemon drops and gummy bears
Oh what rain it would be
at
Stand outside with your mouth wide open
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
When all the sun's rays
They were gum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!
Stand outside, mouth open
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
When all the sun's rays
They were gum and ice cream
Oh, what a sun that would be!

underwear
By Wendy Kellogg
Underwear, underwear, send a pair, send a pair, I can wear it
Because I left mine on the clothesline to dry
And now I need them, they are not there
Underwear, underwear, get a pair, get a pair, anywhere
The horn sounds, I have to go.
Why do I have to go there when I have to be naked

To the sound of the wheels of the bus
Als vacas no celeiro go mu mu mu,
Leaves Leaves Leaves Leaves
How vacas and celeiro go in mu mu mu
