postnatal lyrics

[posted by bkmarcus]
Our prenatal song for Benjamin says
Donne un coup de pied.
Bing Bang Boom
It occurs to me that "give us a little kick" isn't such a great thing to request once he's out and kicking about, so we've written different lyrics for a little boy's bedtime:
Ben-ja-min
Ben-ja-min
Fais dodo
Fais dodo
Pourquoi tu es ici
Quand tu peux être ailleurs?
Dans tes rêves
Dans tes rêves

A demain
A demain
Ben-ja-min
Ben-ja-min
Fais un petit somme
Fais un petit somme
Nous t'aimons
Nous t'aimons
(That last part where we sing we love you is pretty sweet, huh? We stole that line from Squirmantha's mommy.)

We sing all this to him before or after storytime. Whenever my cat hears me sing, he comes over to hang out, so Nathalie added one more verse:
Voilà Bones
Voilà Bones
Que fait-il?
Que fait-il?
Il veut chanter aussi
Il veut chanter aussi
Ton minou
Ton minou
- papa
