Lullaby

This post I did mainly to have it on record.  So it might be a little boring for most.  Read at your own risk....

So I was singing to David tonight before putting him to bed.  Now this is a rare occurrence these days since he prefers to be put straight to bed.  So the times I do get to sing to him I thoroughly enjoy!  As I was singing I started thinking about the songs I sing to him.  Most come from my childhood, each were ones that my father would sing to me. (Mares Eat Oats, Edelweis, Down By the Old Mill Stream, Etc.)  The only song that didn't come from my childhood is David's "Theme" song as I like to call it.  I came up with it as I fed him during the first few weeks of his life.  Pretty much I did this to keep myself awake in the wee hours.  Yes I can entertain myself pretty well if I need to!  But I decided I need to write it down in case I ever forgot it.  How sad would that be?  Now that David has a song, does that mean that my new little wee one needs a song of his own?  I guess we shall see.  So here is David's song.  Sang to the tune of Davey Crocket.  Remember when I put this together I was pretty much functioning on zero sleep, just keep that in mind will ya!

Way Down South in the State of Texas
Proudest Darn Place that you ever did see
Born a Wee Lad
He was HUGE but we were Glad
Born with Courage and Honesty

Davey, Davey Young...Full of Righteousness  YeeHaw

Born in the Year 2011
An Era Full of Chaos and Confusion Overseas
Where Evil is Good and Wars are a Plenty
And Davey is Here to Conquer it all

Davey, Davey Young...Full of Righteousness  YeeHaw

Came into the World as David Rodney
Named after his Maternal Gran Daddy
A Man who was Righteous and Served the Lord
An Example set for Davey to follow

Davey, Davey Young...Full of Righteousness  YeeHaw

If His Attitude is like his Eatings or Feedings
He'll be the Greatest Man that the World has Ever Known
He'll Give it all his Might to Fight for What's Right
And This is the Davey We'll Know

Davey, Davey Young...Full of Righteousness  YeeHaw

Although He May be Young
He Can do no Wrong
In the Eyes of his Mom
And so this song will Forever Go On
And On and On and On

Davey, Davey Young...Full of Righteousness  YeeHaw

  1. That's cute. And it's funny, I made up a song for Cooper in the wee hours of the morning too, and also wonder whether I should make up one for Hudson. Good to know I'm not the only one who does such things! :)
