Ruby Music.



Don't tell Cici, but I get the sense Ruby is going to be our more musical child. These are two nice examples of her talents in this area. The first is an original composition of hers we call "The Hamburger Song"; the lyrics (in case you have trouble understanding them) are just "I want a hamburger" over and over again.

And here she is singing "Home Boys Home," a bawdy song of the sea the verses of which involve hanky-panky between a comely young waitress and a sailor on shore leave (hi, Alex). The chorus is clean enough, though; the words Ruby is attempting are:

Home, boys, home! [clap twice]
Home I'd like to be
Home for a while in my own country
Where the oak and the ash and the bonnie rowan tree
Are all a-growin' green in the north country
