I went to the animal fair,
The birds and the beasts were there,
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair
You should have seen the monk
He sat on the elephant's trunk
The elephant sneezed and fell to his knees
And what become of the monkey monkey monkey monk...?

http://confettipark.com/music

Rick G. Nelson, bass; Katy Ray, vocals; Greg Schatz, accordion; Daniele Spadavecchia, guitar; James G. Thornton, trumpet. (Snaps by Katy, Ted Lindsay and Jason Rhein.) Kids chorus: Keller Clark, Elisa McDonald, Charleston McLean, and Millie Moffett.

Chicken and potatoes, rice and beans
Shrimp and tomatoes and collard greens
Yes, I like my veggies with a nice protein
But after I lick the platter clean

Chorus:
Give me a buttermilk drop, a buttermilk drop
A buttermilk drop from the doughnut shop
You can keep your candy bar and your lollipop, 
Me, I want a buttermilk drop

Apples and berries and sugar beets
Cherries, strawberries, how I like to eat
Tropical fruit for something sweet...
But sometimes I want a different treat

Here is a song called "Rock 'n Roll Star" that features a hook created by 5-year-old Ramona, daughter of New Orleans producer and songwriter Andreas Sahar.

“She just started singing it and I immediately screeched to a halt whatever I was doing and listened and started banging it away on the piano,” says Andreas. “It’s such a catchy little hook!” 

Thanks, Andreas and Ramona, for sharing this with Confetti Park!
