Tasty Tales: Do You Slurp Your Spaghetti?

It's Time for some yummy Tasty Tales!  Join Lolly and her friends each Monday and Tuesday as they cook up good stories this summer!  Each week we will add a new food to our "Today is Monday" activity song.  The second food on our list is spaghetti and we want to share with you some twisty, twirly themed rhymes and books. 

Aiken Drum Song
There was a man lived on the moon, on the moon, on the moon
There was a man lived on the moon
And his name was Aiken Drum

His hair was made of spaghetti, spaghetti, spaghetti
His hair was made of spaghetti
And his name was Aiken Drum

His eyes were made of meat balls, meat balls, meat balls
His eyes were  made of meat balls
And his name was Aiken Drum

His nose was made of cheese, of cheese, of cheese
His nose was made of cheese
And his name was Aiken Drum

His mouth was made of pizza, of pizza, of pizza
His mouth was made of pizza
And his name was Aiken Drum
