More About the Songs

I have finally deciphered the lyrics to the Christopher Columbus song (see previous post). It took my 75 year old mother-in-law to figure it out.

Christopher Columbus
Sailed to America
On the Santa Mar-i-a
In 1492
Christopher Columbus
Sailed with the flag of Spain (or something like that)
For King Ferdinand
.....blah blah blah

Jack has been singing this non-stop, including during time-outs, since last week. He also has been singing The National Anthem, which he thinks MUST be preceded by the Pledge of Allegiance. His lyrics are not quite what they are supposed to be. Something about the "lice gleaming." And if he messes up (I'm not sure how he quantifies this, seeing as how he's not saying the correct words anyway), he starts all over with the Pledge.

I think we'll have to teach him how to cover his tracks better if he wants to have a music career, or a reality-show-music-career. It's a dead give-away when you mess up a word and then start all over (with a different thing entirely), although I do admire his persistence.
