Song Details
In this jaunty call and response song, the phrases are sung and then echoed in quick succession. Often, they are echoed exactly but, as if if to keep the singers on their toes, the response phrases are occasionally different in text and/or rhythm. The repetition in this song is a clever composer’s choice, pointing out the tendency for adults to delight in mimicking a baby’s actions, and the tendency for the baby to delight in doing the action over and over again. And if that weren’t enough, the music modulates and the song is sung again. The clapping coda is icing on the cake!
