What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' now? What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' now? She is taking out the dogs She is picking out my clothes She is fixing me some food She is wiping boogers from my nose She's getting me some milk She's singing me a song But I don't have the heart to tell her she can't sing "Hey you can't talk." What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' now? What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' now? She is giving me a bath She's scarfing down some toast She's taking me for walks She is always trying to find her phone She's giving me a kiss She says she loves me so And I love her she's my best friend "Is that her there?" Yeah that's my Mom! What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' now? What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' What's Mama doin' now?

Team Member 02:17
In the morning we change my diaper I help my Mama cause I don't even cry We make some breakfast I don't get hyper I ask politely "may I have a piece of pie" And Mom says pie is for desert If you eat it for breakfast your tummy will hurt So I say fine give me what you've got I'm sure whatever you've made is gonna hit the spot 'Cause I'm a team member got work to do Team members work together hey how 'bout you? Go to the bathroom I use the potty I wash my hands and get them good and clean I put some clothes on without a struggle I don't get angry I don't shout and I don't scream But when I get dressed things go here and there Like my pants and my shirts and all my underwear So I pick 'em up quick and put them in the drawer Then my room looks great 'cause nothings on the floor 'Cause I'm a team member got work to do Team members work together hey how 'bout you? I see my Mommy talk to my Daddy I want to join in so I yell "hey look at me!" Then I remember just what they told me If you want to join in you must do it politely So I step right up and then I wait my turn I excuse myself to show them what I've learned Then I talk about peacocks on my head Yeah you heard me right that's what I said 'Cause I'm a team member got work to do Team members work together hey how 'bout you? 'Cause I'm a team member got work to do Team members work together hey how 'bout you? 'Cause I'm a team member got work to do Team members work together hey how 'bout you? (more grown up version) In the morning when I'm finished snoring I'm a little hungry and my throats a little dry I get some breakfast I don't get hyper I ask politely may I have a piece of pie And Mom says pie is for desert If you eat it for breakfast your tummy will hurt So I say fine give me what you've got I'm sure whatever you've made is gonna hit the spot 'Cause I'm a team member got work to do Team members work together hey how 'bout you? I clear the table because I'm able I wash my hands and get them good and clean I put some clothes on without a struggle I don't get angry I don't shout and I don't scream But when I get dressed things go here and there Like my pants and my shirts and all my underwear So I pick 'em up quick and put them in the drawer Then my room looks great 'cause nothings on the floor 'Cause I'm a team member got work to do Team members work together hey how 'bout you? I see my Mommy talk to my Daddy I want to join in so I yell "hey look at me!" Then I remember just what they told me If you want to join in you must do it politely So I step right up and then I wait my turn I excuse myself to show them what I've learned Then I talk about peacocks on my head Yeah you heard me right that's what I said 'Cause I'm a team member got work to do Team members work together hey how 'bout you?

It ain't easy being a baby When your thoughts surpass your ability to speak You want to walk but your legs are wobbly You can't control them they won't cooperate It ain't easy It ain't easy It ain't easy It ain't easy being a Mommy When you've got a baby who doesn't want to eat Who thinks it's funny to role on her tummy Who never ever seems to want to go to sleep It ain't easy It ain't easy It ain't easy It ain't easy being a puppy Or a kitty or any family pet Being poked and prodded squeezed and strangle Stalked and mangled by someone you just met It ain't easy It ain't easy It ain't easy

Sour Puss 02:24
She's really a wonderful girl when you get to know her But you'd never know it from the way she is behaving today Could it be from the fact That she wouldn't take a nap No one really knows who can say She's here to stay For the rest of the day Hip hip hooray sour puss is here Sour Puss is Sour Puss is Sour Puss is here Sour Puss is Sour Puss is Sour Puss is here Sour Puss is Sour Puss is Sour Puss is here So what can you do when she sneaks up on you out of nowhere And there's nowhere to hide find her good side before it's too late Yeah you'd better think quick Will a snack do the trick No one really knows who can say She'll have her way No matter what you say Hip hip hooray sour puss is here She's here to stay For the rest of the day Hip hip hooray sour puss is here She'll have her way No matter what you say Hip hip hooray sour puss is here So what can we do To get a smile out of you Please tell us sour puss don't delay

I like breakfast I like lunch I like dinner I've never had brunch And I like pinky's And I like thumbs I like eyeballs And I like tongues When they're licking ice cream cones And blowing bubbles with bubble gum I like mustard And I like cheese And I like anything that can make you sneeze And I like marmos "What are those?" That's just the way that we say marshmallows All the things I like are the things I like the most All the things I like are the things I like the most All the things I like are the things I like the most !!!!!!!!!!

about

Catchy kids songs that both parents and kids will love.

Things I Like was inspired by the birth of my daughter and unexpectedly written with and for her. It features the amazing guitar of Mike Fleming and Ryan Patrick Murphy’s drumming and recording skillz. Paul Mertens (Brian Wilson) dropped in to add piccolo and flute to the song Sour Puss and Patrick from Wilco contributed an insane solo and more to the song Team Member. Geoff Gilkes played bass lines to 3 of the tunes, Miss Krista sings beautifully as always and did I forget to mention Istvan! I’m all over this thing.
