One of our most favourite things about Summer are the songs that the girls bring back from their summer camps; Black Socks, The Teapot Song, Mary Mack, The Hammock Song, I need a waiter, Bongalow, Jeep, Calypso, Pop a cat a petal, Tarzan, The Fishing Song, The Bear Song, John Henry, Eine kleine fiegel-fogel-eckena-bockena-viegel-vogel-eagle-spitting-banana-eating bird. These songs, which are best heard in a place from which one has the freedom to leave at anytime, have countless verses and mostly end up back at the beginning to start all over again - easily 18 hours worth of song-time. One of our least favourite things about Summer is the 18 hour car journey home from our English sojourn.
