Toddler Pirates

by Bobbee Pennington & Catherine Ezzell

This is sung to the tune of the old folk-pirate song: “Yo HO HO”
In story-times for the last verse, I have the toddlers turn to their mommies and wave goodbye …

Yo ho ho and a sippy cup of milk! (2X)

The favorite words of toddler pirates are

“No!” and “Mine!”

We even tantrum in a store and

Sometimes leave you crying!

Yo ho ho and a sippy cup of milk! (2X)

We throw ourselves right on the floor

and then we kick and scream.

We want to have our own way and so we

make a scene.

Yo ho ho and a sippy cup of milk! (2X)

We’re toddler pirates come to steal your

heart away.

We grow up too soon, too soon, and then

we sail away….

Yo ho ho and a sippy cup of milk! (2X)

Graham crackers for my parrot and me!
