I’m absolutely loving getting my teeth into writing parodies. I’d never really considered doing them before, but then this happened, and it’s been full steam ahead. Here’s my latest one to the good ol’ fashioned rhyme ‘Wind The Bobbin Up’. If you’ve not heard of it before, hit play for the tune at the bottom of the page.
Wind the mummy up
Wind the mummy up
Whinge, whinge, whine, whine, whine
Wind her back again
Wind her back again
Kiss, kiss, clap, clap, clap
Point to the ceiling
Point to the floor
This mornings breakfast
Spattered all-over the floor
Clap your hands together
1, 2, 3
Then pick your bogeys gleefully.
Wind the mummy up
Wind the mummy up
Pull, pull, scream, scream, scream
Wind her back again
Wind her back again
Hugs, hugs, give her loves
Point to the ceiling
Point to the floor
Cray-on scribbles
on the door *oops
Clap your hands together
1, 2, 3
And smear your ice cream on her knee.
Wind the mummy up
Wind the mummy up
Refuse. To. Go to bed
Wind her back again
Wind her back again
Hush, hush, rest that sleepy head
Point to the ceiling
Point to the floor
Destroy your duvet
Throw your pillow about some more
Clap your hands together
1, 2, 3
Then topple out of bed like Humpty Dumpty
Wind the mummy up
Wind the mummy up
Get up, get up, 5 billion times
Wind her back again
Wind her back again
Shhh!! Shhh!!! Close your sleepy eyes
Point to the ceiling
Point to the floor
Mummy’s bed
Is so com-forta-ble
Clap your hands together
1, 2, 3
Then wriggle and squirm
like a fidgety flee.
