Finally. I’ve been able to video two songs that grandmothers can sing with their grandchildren. I needed to video tape them because there are actions with them.

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve have attempted to film the songs. One time the neighbor’s grandchildren were playing outside. (Read that to mean they were LOUD and could be heard in the background of the taping.) Another time the neighbor’s sprinkling system in the field next to us was on (and was loud and could be heard in the background). Another time the neighbors had a volleyball game going. Another time it was too dark by the time I got around to doing the filming. Another time the camera’s battery went dead.

Tonight it was windy.  Oh well . . . So, here are the two songs. Finally.

Grasshopper Alphabet Soup

Here are the words.

Grasshopper alphabet soup oh yaw. Grasshopper alphabet soup. Boing. (Make a motion like you are hitting a gong.)

Grasshopper alphabet soup oh yaw. Grasshopper alphabet soup. Boing. (Make a motion like you are hitting a gong.)

Grasshopper head. (wiggle head) Grasshopper body. (Wiggle body) Grasshopper in-a my soup. Boing (Make a motion like you are hitting a gong.)

Grasshopper wings. Grasshopper legs. Grasshopper in-a my soup. Boing (Make a motion like you are hitting a gong.)

Grasshopper alphabet soup oh yaw. Grasshopper alphabet soup. (Bow)

Here’s the second song.

I’m a Little Pile of Tin

Here are the words.

I’m a little pile of tin. Nobody knows what shape I’m in.
Got 4 wheels and a running board. I’m a Ford, oh I’m a Ford.

Honk honk (hold your hand up, palm facing away from you and make the honking motion)
Rattle rattle (rattle — or shake — your head side to side)
Crash (put the palm of your hand underneath your chin)
Beep beep (tap your nose each time you say beep).

Honk honk (hold your hand up and make the honking motion)
Rattle rattle (rattle — or shake — your head side to side)
Crash (put the palm of your hand underneath your chin)
Beep beep (tap your nose each time you say beep).

Honk honk (hold your hand up and make the honking motion)
Rattle rattle (rattle — or shake — your head side to side)
Crash (put the palm of your hand underneath your chin)
Beep beep (tap your nose each time you say beep).

Honk honk (hold your hand up and make the honking motion).

I still want to get a video of another song — either with my son and his new bride or her mother. Maybe when they come for the open house on Saturday. . .
