Putting up this song quickly this morning as I have been hearing from parents that are wondering what their child is singing. "Lego's? Aching?" Aiken Drum is an old Scottish folk song that has a number of versions and variants. I sing a version where we use a visual with Velcro strips on a head/face and we put on different pictures of food in place of eyes, ears, mouth, etc. and end up with a silly looking man called "Aiken Drum." We also tap the beat of the song while holding an actual soup ladle I borrow from the staff lounge. Here is a picture and the lyrics for now while I try and get a good recording of the song and post it as soon as possible. Until then, your child may be able to sing it to you. AIKEN DRUM (chorus) There was a man who lived in the moon. In the moon. In the moon. There was a man who lived in the moon. And his name was Aiken Drum. Chorus He played upon a ladle. A ladle. A ladle. He played upon a ladle. And his name was Aiken Drum. His hair was made of spaghetti. Spaghetti. Spaghetti. His hair was made of spaghetti. And his name was Aiken Drum. Chorus His eyes were made of fried eggs. Fried eggs. Fried eggs. His eyes were made of fried eggs. And his name was Aiken Drum. Chorus His ears were made from tacos. tacos. tacos. His ears were made from tacos. And his name was Aiken Drum. Chorus His nose was made with broccoli. broccoli. broccoli. His nose was made from carrots. And his name was Akin Drum. Chorus His mouth was made from melon. melon. melon. His mouth was made from melon. And his name was Aiken Drum. Chorus Comments are closed.
