	This is the real deal. Ukulele, felt pick and vocals. I'm very proud of myself, this is a pretty traditional sounding children's folk song, inspired by my son Jacob - a laugh for all. This song won honorable mention at the 2002 NCSA song contest.

	Story Behind the Song I had wanting to get a ukulele for some time. Other than $200 Martin Ukes (which I would love to have), most music stores only cary $30 plastic ones. So being the thrifty monkey that I am, I eventually found a cheap but wood one at a thrift store. This is the second song that I wrote. It just popped out. A refreshing change from my usual mode, this is probably one of my best songs and one of the only ones with a good solid hook. The vocal style is most definately influenced by "Not For Kids Only", a children's record from David Grissman and Jerry Garcia. You Should check it out if you can find it! Enjoy! Lyrics copyright 2001/ Scott Ballard Well a Jacabob wiggle And a Jacobob giggle Jacob run as fasta as he can Oh he runs far away On a bright and sunny day And you can try and catch him is you can Ao Ao you can try and catch him if you can Ao Ao you can try and catch him if you can He's got ants in his pants So he does a silly dance And then he goes a jumping really high Well he flies through the air As if he hasn't got a care But the ants are really tickling his feet Ao Ao you can try and catch him if you can Ao Ao I think that I would really like some spam Well he can feel there little feetsies Runnin' all across his kneeses And I would say he really needs a bath Cause thier in his underwear Runnin' here and runnin' there A cow is not a bird imagin that Ao Ao a cow is not a bird imagine that Ao Ao a cow is not a bird imagine that
