Lyrics, overheard

Lately, Jaya has been singing a LOT, as in, nearly all the time. She woke up before 6:00 am today and played for a couple of hours while I worked. I decided to jot down some of the lyrics our budding songwriter belted out:

"I will mess it up, up, up then I will mess it down, down, down"
"good morning good morning the old lady said"
"whoa me brotha, I got a piece in my hair, look at the mess shadow shadow shadow"
"I going da da do do doo do, we all going poo poo poo poo"
"I already play with my 'mato (tomato), I already play with my sun, I play with my 'mato stick"
"fight, fight, fight"
"where's doggie at? okie okie okie, namie namie namie"
Interjected as the chorus to many songs is, "You put your whole body in, you put you whole body out..." or "wheee, whee, whee" or "la, la, la" The chorus, although the same, is adjusted to fit the rhythm of the particular song.

Not to be outdone, Raja has been saying "DaDa!" We wonder if he will be as loquacious as J-bugs.

Hello Jaya, nanny loves your singing - I was singing it to Hoera and he laughed at the doo - poo poo - silly little bugs. Give Raji a big hug and kiss for nanny, poppa and the cousins. Love ya
