Sing to the Tune of, "Jesus Loves the Little Children."

OK, everyone sing together. The key is, "D". The tune is, "Jesus loves the little children."

"Mutt Karo" translates as, "Don't do that!"

OK, all together now, and a "one," and a "two", and a...

"Eli gets in lots of trouble,
As he crawls around the house,
Pulling on cords and chewing on shoes,
Doing such things as he ought not to do,
Eli gets in lots of trouble in the house."


"Eli gets in lots of trouble,
As he crawls around the house,
His sisters are yelling, "Elijah, NO!"
Go away from our tea party now, just go!"
Eli gets in lots of trouble in the house."


"Eli gets in lots of trouble,
As he crawls around the house,
His brother is shouting, "Mutt Karo!"
Don't grab my trucks and cars like so"
Eli gets in lots of trouble in the house."


"Eli gets in lots of trouble,
As he crawls around the house,
Behind the couch is the perfect place
To find some dust bunnies to rub in my face
Eli gets in lots of trouble in the house."


"Eli gets in lots of trouble,
As he crawls around the house,
His parents are wondering, 'he is now where?'
He's once again disappeared into thin air'
Eli gets in lots of trouble in the house."


"Eli gets in lots of trouble,
As he crawls around the house,
The garbage bin is the perfect height,
For a baby to play in with all of his might
Eli gets in lots of trouble in the house."

Oh my goodness!! This is one of the reasons that your blog is one of my favorites! I sang the WHOLE thing - although I will confess to a mid-song modulation to another key just to add emphasis!! Thank you for this Monday morning chuckle!! Hope you don't lose the little guy today - he'll be somewhere around the house, I'm certain. Blessings and love to all of you!!

Haha! Too funny! :D
When Eli was over during playgroup this week, it made me realize how our living room is lacking in baby-proofness. Guess I'd better get that taken care of soon because it won't be long before our youngest will be getting into lots of trouble too.
