Anecdote and poll!

[conuly]

Today, Ana was sitting in my lap with the baby. (And hugging the baby too tightly, then declaring "MY BABY!" when I forced her to stop, but that's another story.) She requested that I sing "The Wheels on the Bus" (or, as she calls it, "wown an wown"), so I start to sing, only to be stopped. No, she wants me to go directly to the part where the babies on the bus go waa waa waa. So I do... and she leans over to her sister and goes "Eva! Say 'waa waa waa'!" Not very cute, but it got me thinking....

This song has a lot of potential verses. I know we used to drag it out forever in kindegarten if we could (though it was far from our favorite - that was a version of this song. "I went to the city, I went to the fair, to see a senorita, with flowers in her hair (dancing vaguely in the middle of a circle). Oh, shake it shake it shake it, shake it all you can, shake it like a milkshake, and do the best you can (shaking?). Rumble to the bottom (stoop), rumble to the top (stand and stretch), turn around and turn around until you make a stop (spin wildly) S. T. O. P spelllllls STOP! (turn slowly, eyes closed, pointing, and whoever's pointed at at stop goes in the middle and you go out.) But I digress.)

Recently, I've heard all new (to me) verses to that song! It's amazing. And yet, not wholly unpredictable. So, just a quick poll...

[Poll #654526]

Thanks for playing!

Wheels on the bus...
- wheels go round round round
- wipers go swish swish swish
- women go chatter chatter chatter
- babies go wah wah wah
- children do something unknown
- conductor does something unknown

Old MacDonald had a dog but some cows.

And until the rest was mentioned in comments I couldn't even remember the Tiny Tim one. Still don't know who had the baby though. But I know Miss Polly had a dolly *nods*
