Good Lord, More Baby Songs

A few more of mine, then we're done, I promise.

Contents: Bananas
For Violet on the occasion of her first solid food
Some people think bananas are yellow and long,
I'm sorry to say that they're terribly wrong.
But I'm here to tell you what it is they are,
Bananas are grey and they come in a jar!

Bananas! Bananas! Bananas, bananas! Bananas, bananas, bananas!


First Prize
Of all the little sweet small guys,
From the biggest one to the smallest size
Baby man, he wins first prize:
Bok bok and some fries!


The Fairview Song
This is the song that I (believe it or not) sang to Wilson and now Violet every time I took them to daycare at Fairview over the last 2 years. Wilson now sings along in parts.
We're taking this baby to Fairview,
We're taking this baby to Fairview,
We're taking her to Fairview,
'Cause it's what we always do,
We're taking this baby to Fairview.

Lines 3 and 4 change in subsequent verses, but not enough to make it interesting:

Verse 2: 'Cause that's where she spends her days, or so this baby says... (which doesn't actually rhyme)
Verse 3: To see Katie and the ladies, and all the other babies...
Verse 4: 'Cause this Baby is On Board, to get right with the Lord... (my personal favorite)
Verse 5: We go speeding down the block, 'cause it's almost 8 o'clock...
Verse 6: Where she'll eat and sleep and play, and at the end of the day...

We'll go and get this baby from Fairview!
