I usually try not to get the kids to riled up at bed time, but the other night, my improvised bed time song got Ben and Matt all sorts of laughing:

Ole McDonald had a farm,

Ee I ee I oh!

And on that farm he had some cows,

Ee I ee I oh.

With a moo-moo here and a moo-moo there,

Here a moo, there a moo, everywhere a moo-moo.

Ole McDonald had a farm,

Ee I ee I oh!

And on that farm he had some pigs,

Ee I ee I oh.

With a oink-oink here and an oink-oink there,

Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink-oink.

Ole McDonald had a farm,

Ee I ee I oh!

And on that farm he had a Rancor,

Ee I ee I oh.

With a ROAR here and a ROAR there,

Here a ROAR, there a ROAR, everywhere a *Splat*.

My Star Wars obsessed boys loved it and I heard them giggling for the next twenty minutes as they tried putting other Star Wars creatures into the song.  They didn’t remember that I did the same, but with a T-Rex when they were dinosaur obsessed.

I love making them laugh.
