Alligator in My Soup: A Silly Song For Children About Obedience

This song is a fun and easy way to teach children the Biblical principle of honoring Father and Mother.

Alligator in My Soup


Child:
There's a tiny alligator in my soup,
And this alligator wears a bathing suit
And she said:
Pardon me,
But it seemed so free,
To be swimming in a sea
Of minestrone (swimming in a sea of minestrone)

Mother:
That's nice, dear, so nice dear,
But you still have to eat your dinner, dear.

Child:
Awww, Moooom!(spoken)

Mom Mom Mom Mom, Mom
Oh, Mommy,
Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom
Oh, Mommy.....

Mother:
(Chorus)
Darling, we love you
We want what's best for you
The Bible says to honor your Father and Mother
This pleases the Lord (Spoken: it makes God happy!)

Child:
There's a blue billy goat in my bath,
And he's eating all the towels like they're grass
And he said:
Do you mind?
I'm trying to dine,
But thank you for the grub,
These towels are mighty fine! (thank you for the grub, these towels are mighty fine)

Father:
That's nice, dear, so nice, dear,
But you still have to take your bath, dear.

Child:
Awwww, Daaaaaad!(spoken)

Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad
Oh, Daddy,
Dad Dad Dad Dad Dad
Oh, Daddy.....

Chorus

Child:
There's a pair of zoo flamingos on my bed,
And they each have a nightcap on their head
And they said:
We just need
A place to sleep
For the monkeys snore so loud,
We can't get any zzzzzz's. (the monkeys snore so loud, we can't get any zzzz's.)

Mother and Father:
That's nice, dear, so nice, dear,
But you still have to go to bed, dear.

Child:
Do I HAVE to? (spoken)

Chorus

Child: (tag)
This pleases the Lord!

Father and Mother:
This Makes God Happy!
