I LOVE THIS SONG. I just had to tell you, apropos of nothing, that this song SAVED ME this morning when I was in the shower! Our 10-month old was MAD about me showering, banging on the shower door and crying, and so I just started singing random verses. SHE.STOPPED.CRYING.IMMEDIATELY. I think you are a witch along with your mother... but in any case, GOOD WORK! DUDE. I LOVE THIS SONG.

I mean it's truly embarrassing because I'll catch myself singing this first one OUT LOUD IN THE GROCERY STORE and whatnot. Geez, Leah, get a life. Anyway, here's one of my favorites: Oh I wish I were a little tapey worm Oh I wish I were a little tapey worm I would diney, diney, diney All around your intestine-eys Oh I wish I were a little tapey worm! Now, here is the one that made me literally pee myself a little when I read it. And I've managed to actually memorize it well enough to sing it often (mostly in the MIDDLE OF THE GODDAMN NIGHT) to my sweet, sweet no-sleeping child: Oh I wish I was a little baby girl Oh I wish I was a little baby girl I wouldn’t sleep through the night because I don’t really feel like it so I just wake up all the time screaming and then you have to rock me, but it still doesn’t work and things like white noise and loveys and eating solids don’t help at all… Oh I wish I was a little baby girl Not that it matters at this point, but I have to tell you the two verses that I sing incessantly.
