The song is a variant of the following (several versions of which, I have found online):
Baby's Nap
Here is a baby, ready for his nap | Hold up pointer finger of one hand |
Lay him down in his mama's lap | Put finger in palm of other hand |
Now cover him up so he won't peep | Close fingers around your "baby" finger |
and rock your baby 'til he's fast asleep! | Rock fingers back and forth. |
Anyhow, during supper she decided that we should sing it. I say "we", but that isn't strictly true. She indicates to me that she wants to sing the song by holding up her finger and saying "Here is a baby". Then, I am expected to do everything else by myself. After an initial rendition, she then said "Here is a Mommy". So, I sang the same song about a Mommy needing a nap (no kidding!). I thought this was cute. The following requests for modified versions came in quick succession thereafter:
Daddy
Becca
Lucy (o.k., this was my own mod)
Gorilla ?!?!?
Kitty
T Rex
Prototops (this means Protoceratops)
Flying Tedactyl (Pteradactyl)
Dragon
Door ?!?!?
Gorilla (again!)
Belle
Goldfish (as in the crackers)
