The Potty Training Song

Story Behind The Song

This was the first song I ever wrote for my granddaughter, Gracie. It really got her going. Even though she's 4 now, she still loves this song and will probably use it to teach her little brother to use the potty, too. The catchy arrangement is by Scott Griffin of Chicago. Isn't he amazing?

Lyrics


My daddy feeds me yummy food; My mom gives me a drink
I chew my food and swallow it and then it starts to sink
Down deep inside my tummy, but it doesn't disappear
It travels through my body and then comes right out the rear.

CHORUS: Tinkle Tinkle, Mama likes to hear
Tinkle Tinkle, sittin' on my potty chair.
Tinkle tinkle. Tinkle tink kerPLOP!
Everybody's laughin'! Mom and Dad are clappin'
I just made it happen, Tinkle Tinkle Tink kerPLOP!

When I was teeny tiny, a diaper's what I wore
But now that I am older, I won't need them anymore.
My dad will buy me training pants; He says I'm getting big.
Mommy's so excited, she and Grandpa danced a jig. (SING CHORUS)

After I go potty, I wipe carefully and flush
Then over to the sink to wash myself; I never rush.
I swish the soap between my hands; I've got to kill those germs.
Grandma says my fingers are her little wiggleworms. (SING CHORUS)

Little boys go standing up, but girls go sitting down.
And if I have an accident, I'll chase away that frown.
For if at first you don't succeed, then try again, don't scream.
Just thank the Lord for Clorox, and for your washin' machine. (SING CHORUS)

Kate what away to remember me of my days of being a young mother....who leaves a toilet seat up and a little girls fanny ends up in cold water?....man of house learned to put toilet seat down with a house full of girls....your kids always do a great job on your songs and where you come up with these ideas is amazing.....I hope you have a great tour and you land anywhere near Winchester NH..you are welcome to come and stay with me....

Where do you find this list for review? I have had a couple so far do this and this list is with the pros that review.....

I hope to have some new songs up soon...part of my cover cd in the works.

also glad we are BJ friends, to bad we did not know each other when I was a winter visitor in Florida, my husband worked for Florida Rock Co I would come down in the winter months.

Let me know if you will be in Tenn maybe could see you there also....

You know I am always your friend in music.....Delta

Great Kids tune as usual!! I know this songwriter is and there is not a better composer of children's music on Broad Jam! She's that lady with the infectious smile and up beat-killer songs for the youngsters!! She is the Pide Pipper of Broad Jam, she will keep your toes a tappin' for sure!!
Super song, so memorable..............

What a chuckle....... Digestion from intake to output. it's a hoot. It is explicit to the max, and still not once beyond the edge of sweet and tasteful. Impressive and hilarious.
