    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
