He don't got a belly button
Since we don't have kids we don't often get the chance to see kids' movies and television. But, trying to be a good Godmother to my niece, Sara, her Easter basket always has to have something besides candy. I remembered that friends of ours used to have Veggie Tales videos for their many kids to watch. So down to the Christian bookstore I went and, two DVDs later, Sara's Easter basket was complete.
What I didn't count on was just how much I was going to enjoy them. They are funny. If you really listen to the lyrics they are very, very clever.
And part of me wonders just what the writers were drinking when they wrote these songs!
Baby I know your eyes see right through my disguise
And no one can deny
Baby that I'm the one whose love is no surprise
And he can't tell you no lie
But there's a secret I've been hidin'
I can't keep it no more
There's this thing about himself
He's never told you before
Baby!
He needs to tell you something
I don't got a belly button
(No belly button, no)
Oh, I need to tell you something
Can you figure it out
He don't got a belly button
Belly button no, oh no, no
Baby please don't squeal, just tell me how you feel
'Cause his love is for real
And if you went away, my heart would never heal
So to you he appeals
There's something missing in my middle
And it's hard to ignore
There's this thing about himself
He's never told you before
Baby!
He needs to tell you something
I don't got a belly button
(No belly button, no)
Oh, I need to tell you something
Can you figure it out
He don't got a belly button
Belly button no, oh no, no

Veggie Tales are great! For some crazy reason a friend of mine in college introduced me to the songs (this is back in 1997-1998) and one of my all time favorite songs is the "Hairbrush Song". So funny! If you are looking for other great Christian DVDs and catchy tunes, I recommend the Brother Francis DVD series. I think there are 7 of them now. Within one week of watching the Brother Francis DVD on the Mass she was genuflecting in church. Crazy! Because, we had been showing her how to genuflect for awhile and she hadn't really picked up on it, but some cartoon brother in a Franciscan habit does it in a DVD and all of sudden she is an expert. Hey, but I am not complaining! :)
