Longing for the day ...

I'm wearing my breakfast

Many years ago, when my kids were babies, I wrote this silly ditty for my son, Edward, who was looking very proud of himself for finishing his breakfast - except that he was wearing a lot of it. I used to sing it to him every time I found him in this state, and also sang to to his sister when it seemed appropriate. A few weeks ago I heard about the international Songz4kids songwriting contest. Now, as a Regional Coordinator for the Australian Songwriters Association, I'm not allowed to enter their annual contest, so I thought I'd have a go at this one. I quickly finished and demoed the tune, and we'll see what happens in terms of the contest.

I'm wearing my breakfast

I'm wearing my breakfast
I'm wearing my breakfast
It's so yummy, I love the taste
It's in my tummy and all over my face
I'm wearing my breakfast
I'm wearing my breakfast
It's all on me.

I'm wearing my dinner
I'm wearing my dinner
It's so yummy, I saved the rest.
It's in my tummy and all over my chest.
I'm wearing my dinner
I'm wearing my dinner
It's all on me

I'm wearing my ice cream.
I'm wearing my ice cream.
It's so yummy, my head is froze.
It's in my tummy and the tip of my nose.
I'm wearing my ice cream.
I'm wearing my ice cream.
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's aaaall oooon a-meeeee
