OH MY GOSH I KNOW THAT SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We used to get the Philadelphia Chickens book ALL THE TIME from the library and I love that song!!!!!!!
@savannah_grace2009
I want a cookie! XD We own Philadelphia Chickens and several others. One of my sisters plays them all the time. 😆They are so fun!
@theducktator
Have you ever listened to the “Blue Moon” book?
It is another one, similar to Philadelphia Chickens!
Is it Philadelphia Chickens that has the Aardvarks do the “intermission” show?? I always loved that part!!
@savannah_grace2009
Yes! We have Blue Moo, Philadelphia Chickens, and Rhinoceros Tap. The others we get from the library.
Yes! I love the Intermission Show! Every time I go anywhere with an intermission, my siblings and I always sing that! “Technically, we’re not cows. We’re aardvarks!”
I love those songs sooo much…I played them on YouTube after our conversation and it brings back so many memories!
OH MY GOSH and I love the Speed Turtle one…and the Singing in the Shower one….I love them all!
@savannah_grace2009
For some reason it won’t let me reply to your comment. I memorized Singing in the Shower, and for a while I would sing it every time I showered! One of my sisters still does. And Be Like a Duck is probably my favorite! And Dance it Off, and Personal Penguin, and Ducks in a Row!
I was thinking it was a love poem as I read the beginning.
Chocolate chip cookies.
I died laughing.

It’s called Faraway Cookies. I highly recommend you listen to the rest of it. It’s hilarious.
