I am hoping that members will post songs - that they have done previously - or would like to do - that are CHILDREN'S SONGS here.

Again NOT really a competition but just a place where songs of this genre can be placed - as well as in the other sections of the forum where people place their videos.

No restriction on how many you post. Or how it is presented.

I know many of you have quite a few already in your YouTube videos.

Lady Bug Philosophy

I didn't write this specifically as a children's song, but my wife showed it to her kindergarten/first grade class, and she said the loved it. Of course, kids do love bugs. :)

 
I am a Pre-K teacher and I know a lot of kid songs. I am always looking for more, so I will be following this thread. :D
 
Hoot's Lullaby also sometimes called Hoot's Nightcall.
It is a beautiful little song written by a guy called Lior and the original has a lovely string arrangement well worth hearing HERE.

Thank you.

Here is an original song about the subject of some of the songs and rhymes that we have presented to children.
Sorry about the start I thought I had edited it out - senior moment.
Lyrics
Original song about kids songs.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
That left the soldiers to clean up the mess
Apparently he was a really big gun
When he was blasted they had some fun
Making the rhyme we still sing all the time

Chorus
Isn't it strange what we put in little kid's minds
Seems anything goes as long as it rhymes
They recite and they sing again and again
Til it's firmly stuck in their brains

What about the boy with his thumb
Stuck it in a pie and pulled out a plum
And then declared "What a good boy am I"
Well I don't think that he was that good
He certainly wasn't eating the way that he should
Where was his plate fork spoon and knife

Chorus

Do you think what I think B2
Yes B1 you know that I do
These little kiddies will have us rolling in dough
They'll make mum buy our latest CDs
And the video where we chase those teddies
Maybe these lousy pyjamas can finally go

Chorus +
And then they sing it to their kids just the same


If you're not sure who B1 and B2 are here is a picture.

These contests are great because they force me to try to improve. I think this one is still a little beyond my picking ability but I don't think the kids will mind too much.....

 
Morningtown Ride by Malvina Reynolds was written as a lullaby. I have included some video of the metre gauge railways in the Harz Mountains in Germany taken when I was on holiday there in 2011. You can hear me getting a bit excited in the first clip when two trains departed at the same time and I got a good shot of the two trains.



I've just got a Risa solid uke and I am trying it out.
 
Not really a kids song, but I wrote it about and for my kids.

Beautiful song, Doug. I've got one graduating from college and one from high school in the space of the next couple of months. I found your song very touching.
 
I ramble on a bit at the beginning of this one but here it is. A parody of "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman.

"Don't Tease Me!"
 
I was going to post the song I wrote for my little girl but for some reason it and a couple of other videos won't seem to play on my Youtube account. I'll post this one instead.


Parody of "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", a song by Jim Croce.

Mine is "Bad, Bad, Coon Named Scrounge".

Lyrics:
Coon Named Scrounge


On, the south side of Forest
lives the baddest raccoon around
And if you go down there you just better beware
of a coon who's name is Scrounge.

Now, Scrounge he's so onry,
you see, he stands about 3 foot tall
All the mama's call him the Midnight Bandit,
all the Dad's just call him Cur!

CHORUS
Well hes a bad, bad coon named Scrounge,
baddest coon in the whole darned town
He's badder than a Wolverine,
meaner than the monsters in your dreams.


Now Scrounge, hes a rambler,
and he likes your garbage can
And he likes to behave like a bratty child
chewin' holes in the attic fan.
Well, he wears a fantom mask,
He's got stripes like a lemur too.
He's only just begun to make a mess here son,
He just put poo poo in your shoe.

CHORUS

Well Friday, bout a week ago,
He sniffed a scent that did entice,
He went into the tent of a girl named Doris,
and ooo, that girl smelled nice!
Well, he crawled into her lap,
Then she pet him like a cat, but
Ol Scrounge learned his lesson bout messin
around with a tent full of girls like that.

CHORUS

Well, all the young girls were frightened,
When they saw it weren't a kitty cat
Oh, they shrieked so loud,
and then they all passed out
and they squashed that raccoon flat.

Well he was a bad, bad coon named Scrounge,
baddest coon in the whole darned town
He's was badder than a Wolverine,
meaner than the monsters in your dreams.
He's was badder than a Wolverine,
meaner than the monsters in your dreams.

I have a few more on my website and quite a few I've never taped.
