"MY FRIENDS MUMMY,HAS A VERY BIG TUMMY"

Who wrote "There were 10 green bottles hanging on the wall?" I don't know.Who wrote "There were 10 in the bed and the little one said roll over"? I don't know that either.Who wrote "My Friends Mummy Has a very Big Tummy"?-----I DID."Mad Tone Aussie Bush Poet" or my maiden name before I married the computer- Tony Norman.I wrote the first verse of this song 21 years ago when my daughter Kelly was a baby,I wrote a second verse 13 years ago when my son Ben was a baby.We used to sing it whilst going along---Kelly even taught it to all of her little friends, and they used to sing it on the back of the school bus.As I said my youngest is over 13 now,and I got to thinking the other day,I may well get to sing this to Grandchildren--but I may not.So to make sure this song lives forever, even if only out in space riding on a megabite's tale--I had to put more words to it,finish it off and get it out there for the millions of my fans throughout the galaxy to sing to their kids and any Aliens they happen to adopt in the future.This song in the vein of 10 green Bottles and ten in the bed--goes on for a bit--but unlike 10 in the bed does have a start and an ending. Please sing it to your children to whatever tune you wish and make me live on forever in the back seats of cars whilst kids are on a long journey.
