MAC9 - March (Who's Your Daddy?) submission
**UPDATED for better clarity of the vocals overall and particularly in the final verse**
This has taken me ages, mostly due to my unfamiliarity with writing lyrics and recording vocals (also I havent heard any children's songs since I was about 7 so I had to do some research!). My wrote the lyrics by thinking about the things that children enjoy and trying to combine multiple subjects (candy and going to the zoo c'monnnn); the hard part was trying to think of animals that could either by rhymed with a candy or that could be alliterated with one.
I originally tried to do the vocals myself but found my voice to be too boomy, luckily my good friend Frederico Allevato di Puttanesca a la Braziliana visited from Norway so I had him do the singing instead.

Look, its the underground mole patrol
Crawling around in their Tootsie Roll hole

He landed and smiled and then he said
