i have a little turtle...

My mother-in-law taught Kiddo the song, "I have a little turtle" when she was tiny. We have sung it with all our children. My sister-in-law added a chorus, which makes them love it any more. For those of you unfamiliar, here are the words:

I have a little turtle, his name is Tiny Tim.
I put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water (slurp). He ate up all the soap (num, num, num).
And now he's sick in bed with a bubble in his throat.

Bubble, bubble, bubble. Bubble, bubble, bubble.
Bubble, bubble, bubble. Bubble, bubble, POP!

The boy slurps and num, nums with us enthusiastically. And the other day while reading a book, he saw some soap. "Num, num, num" he excitedly said.
