Maybe I'm old fashioned but Mia and Maz have a favorite CD they like to have in the car when we are driving. The first song, I'm a Little Teapot, is very familiar to me-but the second song is one of the oddest childrens songs I've ever heard. I found myself singing along to the catchy tune but the words are a little much to take in. Whatever happended to the songs with a happy ending. I mean, Heaven didn't even want this dead person!

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.
Cracked it open, cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now,
Just now I cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now.
It was rotten, it was rotten,
It was rotten just now,
Just now it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.
Ate it anyway, ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now,
Just now I ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now.
Got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now,
Just now I got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now.
Called the doctor, called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now,
Just now I called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now.
Penicillin, Penicillin,

Went to heaven just now.
Wouldn't take me, wouldn't take me,
Wouldn't take me just now,
Just now Heaven wouldn't take me,
Wouldn't take me just now.
Went the other way, went the other way,
Went the other way just now,

Just now they didn't want me,
Didn't want me just now.
Was a dream, was a dream,
Was a dream just now,
Just now it was a dream,
Was a dream, just now.
Then I woke up, then I woke up,
Then I woke up just now,
Just now I woke up,
I woke up just now.

Oh My God!!! That's bizarre... crazy... insane!
Funny, though.
Your children will just grow up weird, and face it, that was a given anyway. They don't stand a chance in this family (and I'm talkin' both sides here, I'm a bipartisan type).
My mom used to sing this to me when I was little. Never realized how bizarre my childhood must have been until this moment. Thanks, Laurie!
just add that to the bizarre mcgrath repretoire...have you heard "pity the cowboy"? how about "potatoes in the oven"? or "last night i laid on my pillow"? those kids of yours don't stand a chance in hell...if they could get in!! b.
Not You! I remember singing this song on the Woolsey's swings. Yep, it's weird, but Bridget's right, we had even stranger ones, and look at how we turned out! HAHAHA!
Oranges and lemons
Say the bells of St. Clement's.
You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of St. Martin's.
When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When I grow rich,
Say the bells of Shoreditch.
When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.
I'm sure I don't know,
Says the great bell at Bow.
Here come a candle to light you to bed,
Here come a chopper to chop off your head.
Chop, chop, chop
The last man's dead!
