He drank up all the water,
He ate up all the soap,
He tried to eat the bathtub but it
Wouldn't go down his throat.

I don't know the cocoa puffs commercial above, but there are a ridiculous amount of commercials living in my brain. My kids are sick of me singing, "Show 'em you're a tiger, show 'em what you can do!" And the theme songs from 80's tv, kids and family shows.

Our family favorite commercial song is Kars for kids.
That's what we sing in the car.

I tend to get the dreidel running away song from Shmuel Kundas “the incredible dreidel of feitel von zeidel” stuck in my head

Feitel yelled, don’t stop!
Or else I’ve lost it
The people said to him
We’re all exhausted
They couldn’t stop it
They couldn’t chap it
The dreidel took them for a ride

Miss Suzy called the doctor

in came the teacher with the big fat stick.....

once I had a candy store.....

hello hello hello sir....

blue bird blue bird through my window.....

r-a-t-t-l-e-s-n-a-k-e spells rattlesnake

a girl has a closet it looks like a whole store
full of pretty dresses and outfits you adore.
jumpers, skirts, and pinafores
and fancy gowns galore
yet she's still not happy
she still wants more and more.

you're rich when youre happy with what you have
does money make you rich? no it does not
no matter if you have you still want more and more
even though you have a lot you're really very poor.

My daughter came home singing
My name is candy shmandy
sugary candy
drink lemonade
throw it away...

It really made me laugh to see these stupid childhood songs being passed from generation to generation.

And I wonder how we were allowed to sing songs like this

One day while I was walking
I saw my boyfriend talking
to a pretty little girl
with a strawberry curl
and this is what he said to her
I l, o, v, e, love you
I k, I, s, s, kiss you

(I'm chassidish and we all sang this as girls)
