Curious -- The Singing Fellow


   Staying Curious No More

Little man, why do you sing like you do?  
Is it because I wind you up before
You shake your head, no, no, that isn't it 

Then tell me please, why do you croon like that 
Is there real blood running to your voice box? 
Course not you crazy fool, that isn't it 

As I sit and listen, your happy tune 
Perhaps it's solar makes you go, sunshine 
Guess again, I think you may never know 

Then I give up, won't you tell me please 
You turned the switch, three AA cells, that's it

  2. LOL, oh my kids had some very noisy singing toys when they were small. Now it's mostly the sound of video games that entertains them.

  4. Some of those toys are scary. I remember Elmo's laugh - no thanks.

  5. Oh, I think there's more to it than just those three AA cells. Don't you believe in magic? I do!
