Change Your Nappy and Other Modern Classics

One of our favourite songs at Sing and Sign is 'Change Your Nappy', sung to the tune of Frere Jacques.

These are the official words:

Change your nappy, change your nappy,

carefully, carefully,

throw it in the dustbin, throw it in the dustbin,

now you're clean, nice and clean.

I'm amazed I can remember the official words after Andy made up his own:

Change your nappy, change your nappy,

cos it stinks, cos it stinks,

lob it in the landfill, lob it in the landfill,

for a thousand years, a thousand years.

I prefer this version!

Andy makes up songs for most baby-related activities. The boys love them and so do I.

There is the classic foot washing song:

Feet feet, nice and neat, keep them clean so they smell sweet.

The dressing song:

Dancing babygro, dancing on your nose, dancing on your toes, dancing babygro.

The bath time song:

Washing the baby's bits and pieces, washing the baby's balls,

washing in all those awkward creases, washing the baby's smalls.

And who could forget his mathematician's reworking of Five Little Ducks:

n little ducks went swimming one day, over the hill and far away,

Mummy duck said "quack quack quack quack", n-1 little ducks came back.

All together now...
