Wie es halt so geht im Leben: Das Kind schreit und hört erst auf, wenn

• es getragen wird
• auf der Stelle “gehopst” wird (Bälle sind klasse)
• ein Lied gesungen wird.

Bei Tom kam dann natürlich schnell das Bandenlied “What shall we do with the drunken sailor” durch (übrigens nicht das erste Lied; das war noch am Geburtstag die Melodie von “Indiana Jones”). Nach einiger Zeit wurden dann neue Strophen gedichtet. Lest selbst und singt dann mit. Das “morning” kann natülich auch jederzeit in “midnight” oder “evening” geändert werden.

What shall we do with the crying linus,
what shall we do with the crying linus,
what shall we do with the crying linus
early in the morning?

Refrain
Hooray and up she rises,
hooray and up she rises,
hooray and up she rises
early in the morning.

Take him, kiss 'em and give 'em milk,
take him, kiss 'em and give 'em milk
take him, kiss 'em and give 'em milk
early in the morning.

Refrain

Take and seat him and swing ‘em over,
take and seat him and swing ‘em over,
take and seat him and swing ‘em over
early in the morning.

Refrain

Lay down and play with him,
lay down and play with him,
lay down and play with him
early in the morning.

Refrain

Go out and hike with him,
go out and hike with him,
go out and hike with him
early in the morning.

Refrain

Start up and go fly with him,
start up and go fly with him,
start up and go fly with him
early in the morning.

Refrain

Hide, see and cache a day,
hide, seek and cache a day,
hide, seek and cache a day
early in the morning.

Refrain

That’s what we do with the crying linus,
that’s what we do with the crying linus,
that’s what we do with the crying linus
early in the morning.

 

Dann gibt es natürlich noch das andere Bandenlied “The Lion”, das vermutlich von Calvin umgedichtet wurde:

On the runway, the long runway,
the airplane starts tonight.
On the runway, the long runway,
the airplane starts tonight.


Hush, my linus, oh sleep, my linus,
the airplane flights tonight.
Hush, my linus, oh sleep, my linus,
the airplane flights tonight.
