MOTHER’S LITTLE HELPER
Peggy Johnson
Set to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb for Sing Books with Emily
I helped my mother make the bed.
– make the bed.
– make the bed.
I helped my mother make the bed.
“Why, what’s that lump?”
My mother said.
And she was so surprised to see
– surprised to see
– surprised to see
And she was so surprised to see
The lump in the bed was only ME!

NOTES:
*
5/10/2024: I am a gratefully and joyously a member of the Capitol Fools company. This detail has to do with this song because my association with it began when fellow Fool Kevin mentioned on social media that he’d recently attended a musical event and now he would need 3-5 days to get the song RATTLIN’ BOG out of his head. I’d never heard of this song, so I looked it up and it’s been in my head ever since (far more than 3-5 days). It’s a first-class ear worm, that’s for sure. But it’s a fun one.
*
I was thinking about getting an instrumental sing-along made for this book, but the sing along that comes with it is terrifically sung by a crowd of people with delightful Irish accents, backed up by a band of Irish instruments. Normally, I could not sing along with a track that has vocals on it, but this is a song FOR GROUP SINGING so it feels absolutely correct to sing along with this group of Irish folks.

KNOCK AT THE DOOR, an Illustrated Song
This cute little book fell out of a stack when I was organizing my office. I love bunnies, so picked it up to have a look. Then, a little research revealed variations of tuned and words for this rhyme. My brain arranged something for it which I dutifully wrote out and played on the ukulele.
It’s fun to add rhyme songs to the Sing Books Repertoire because rhymes are so good for educational, social, and emotional development. Also, they are fun.
