Songs for my Children

Who is my baby?
Who is my baby?
Who is my don’t-mean-maybe?
Who is my snicker-snack?
Who is my tickle attack?
Who is my miles of smiles?
Who is my hide-and-I’ll-seek?
Who is my nugget of joy?
Who is my darling boy?

 

You are my baby.
You are my don’t-mean-maybe.
You are my snicker-snack.
You are my tickle attack.
You are my miles of smiles.
You are my hide-and-I’ll-seek.
You are my nugget of joy.
You are my darling boy.

 

Put your shoes on, baby.
We’ll have an adventure, I don’t mean maybe.
We’ll pack a snicker snack.
Beware of tickle attacks.
We’ll walk for miles of smiles.
We have hidden treasure to seek.
We’ll find that nugget of joy.
And take it home for my darling joy.

 

Anyone Else but You & You 
(in homage to the Moldy Peaches)

 

You’re a part time son and a full time Ally.
You know what you want and you don’t shilly-shally.
I don’t know how we ever thought we’d have any fun at all,
Without you.

 

Here is the path that leads to the green.
You and me and Daddy are an ace crack team, and
I don’t know how we ever thought we’d have any fun at all,
Without you.

 

We both have shiny happy fits of rage,
I’ll sing you a key, now dance out of your cage, cuz
I don’t know how we ever thought we’d have any fun at all,
Without you.

 

You’re a part time daughter and a full time Isla.
You’ve got rosy cheeks and a perpet-ula smil-a
I don’t know how we ever thought we’d be a family at all,
Without you.

 

Here is the path that leads to Ally’s school, and
You can go there too, when you learn not to drool.
I don’t know how we ever thought we’d be a family at all,
Without you.

 

I thought of you, I cried for you, I’d sing for you, I yearned for you.
Because I knew that if I tried, there’s everything to learn from you.
I don’t know how we’d ever thought we’d be a family at all,
Without you.
And Ally, too.
And Isla, you.
