Feb 2022 kids annual-baking-with-kids-song acapella
Every year I seem to write a kids baking or cooking song. Here’s this year’s.
metalfoot: every year I seem to collab with hummingbear at least once. Because she's awesome.
The Timer Goes Ding!
The timer goes DING!
The cookies are done.
Open the oven -
Let’s have some fun.
Wait while they cool
Count up to ten
Jump on one foot
Til Mama says “When.”
Frost them with care
Put sprinkles on top
Oops, that one broke
It goes into my mouth.
What a big mess!
See my sticky grin.
Cookies for sharing,
Let’s do this again.

This is a lot of fun! I can imagine kids really enjoying the music and its subject matter. Impressive a cappella!
@mandolinda Feb 2022
A whole lot of fun here. Baking was never so much fun when I was a kid.
@cleanshoes Feb 2022
I love the a capella treatment for these lyrics! So fun and wholesome. This is a perfect snow day activity kind of song.
@bradbrubaker Feb 2022
Joy-filled arrangement. I want to be in this kitchen, a space I am not always so eager to share.
@bjunker Feb 2022
Awesome! That really is a perfect musical setting for those lyrics, and I love the picture that the lyrics draw. Cool.
@audrey Feb 2022
Oh I love this. What fun lyrics Nancy, and Alex, you created the perfect melody and backup vocals. A very playful song. This should be performed on a kids show. I'm serious. This is so good I had to listen twice. :)

This. Is. WONDERFUL.

Sounds great! Bravo!

Yaaaaas, my first dose of a cappAlex for the year, and it's more bouncy and joyous than ever.
What a fun lyric, so catchy and singalongable. I don't care if that's not a word. There are even some actions built in, and definitely the sort to lead to big messes and sticky grins all around. I can see this becoming a perennial favourite in any kindergarten.
Great job, both of you.
@kadmad202 Feb 2022
Wow! Absolutely perfect! I can see the kids dancing around the kitchen to this song right now - sticky grins and all! Wonderful collab, you two!

Your a cappella game is STRONG this year, friend. These lyrics are such a treat. I had a deep, heady conversation with a colleague today and I really needed something that would just take me to a place of anticipating something happy. The next time I make cookies (not that I do it often), I'll probably be singing this.
@kadmad202 Feb 2022
I love this! Perfect kid lyrics-can’t wait to hear what @metalfoot comes up with!
@timfatchen Feb 2022
A simple joy, this one!
@metalfoot Feb 2022
Ok ok ok, I'll bite.
I'm going to eat those cookies AND add music to this song. Tomorrow. Tonight I need to rest my voice.
