You make bathtime lots of fun

Rubber dino, I'm awfully fond of you

Doo-doo doo-de-doo

Rubber dino, fearsome roar,

Good thing you're a herbivore

Rubber dino, I'm awfully fond of you

doo-doo doo-de-doo

Every day when I,

get undressed next to the sink,

I find a

Little fella who's,

cute and yellow and extinct

When I squeeze you, water squirts,

Then I giggle, 'til it hurts

Rubber dino, I'm awfully fond of you

Doo-doo doo-de-doo

You're my favorite bathtime toy,

Watch out for that asteroid!

Rubber dino, I'm awfully fond of

Rubber dino, I'm awfully fond of,

Rubber dino, I'm awfully fooooonnnd of yoooooouuuuu!!!!

(The rubber dino in question is one from this set, and it's one of SteelyKid's favorite bath toys. If you've been living in a cave for the last forty years, and don't know the tune, here's the original.)

SteelyKid's every-so-often bath was last night, and as always, she was fascinated by scooping up water in a hexagonal cup thing that's part of one of her bath toys, and watching it drain out. Which is completely understandable-- not just because she's a baby, but because there's a bunch of physics…

I suggest you submit that version to Sesame Street. Who knows, they might buy it off you for a nominal fee. Which would accomplish two things: You would get to add songwriter to your resume, and the song would give creationist heartburn if it made it on the air. Both worthy enough goals.

Record Steelykid singing it(in the tub?)and it might make one of their shorts. Worse case they say no. Or they send out a hit squad of Muppet chickens.

I am suffering from scale shock: Seeing rubber dino next to SteelyKid instead of Appa made me do a huge double take!

Cheers.

Ethan is not you. You are Chad. Which one of my favorite sciblings is the father of Steely Kid?

But Cuttlefish has a book of her poems for sale. It is good.
