Lyrics

Remember when we went to see this?



Everything is awesome!
   Everything is cool when you're part of a team
Everything is awesome!
   When you're livin' your dream

That was exactly one month ago. Every day since then, we've been singing this song. E knows almost the whole thing and often sings it on his own. Last night I took some liberties and adjusted the lyrics to fit our current activity.

Everything is bedtime!
   Everything is cool when you're goin' to sleep
Everything is bedtime!
   When you're havin' sweet dreams

I sat on Archer's bed while I sang this, I continued singing as Eli protested that I was singing it wrong, I kept singing while he started singing the real version of it trying to drown me out. I gave the kids each their hugs and kisses and walked out.

Elijah immediately started calling for Dad. Dad. Dad. Dad!

I told David his son was calling him, and David went in to see what was going on. David came to me later with a serious issue. "Mom was singing it wrong. This is how it goes. Listen. Everything is awesome... (insert entire song here) So you have to tell her, ok? She was doing it wrong. You have to tell her. Ok Dad? Ok? Tell her, ok?" Elijah was pretty shaken up by my change to the lyrics. Of course now I can just barely resist singing my version at every chance I get, but I guess I need to back off, I'm sure its not really good to intentionally antagonize your kids. (For the record, I sang my version to David and he thought it was funny.)

So who is going to break the news to him about our song, Twinkle Twinkle Little Toes?

Twinkle twinkle little toes
   You can stick them up your nose
   Don't they smell so nice and sweet
   They can be a tasty treat
Twinkle twinkle little toes
   You can stick them up your nose
