folk song sing-a-long

August 12th, 2010

Asher and I went to the Elizabeth Mitchell Concert at Celebrate Brooklyn last week and we listened to her 1st CD about 3 times all the way through today. Its really great kids music. Mellow but fun. Not annoying. The only problem is that the songs always get stuck in my head. I get the worst earworm and Matthew and I tend to pass it back and forth for days.

(Don’t anyone sing lyrics from RENT! those are the worst)

me: I cannot get the “John the Rabbit” song out of my head

Matthew: Has it become a mighty habit

me: ha, yes

Matthew: yes, WHAT?

listen
Oh John the rabbit, yes ma’am
Had a mighty habit, yes ma’am
Of jumping in my garden, yes ma’am
My sweet potatoes, yes ma’am
My fresh tomatoes, yes ma’am
And if I live, yes ma’am
To see next fall, yes ma’am
I ain’t gonna have, yes ma’am
No garden at all. NO ma’am!

    Ok, she is one of my fav. The YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE CD is the one I was playing for you and I have to burn a copy of. She is super cool music! How fun to see her in the park!

    Christine and I laughed heartily at this. By the way I’m convinced that song is really about a heroin addict.
