A Few Songs He Loved

Here's one Daddy used to sing all the time. The fact that he didn't know the lyrics never stopped him. My Darling. My Darling. My dibblety dibblety Darling. 


Mom and Dad used to sing this next song when we were little and out for a ride. There'd be a baby on Mom's lap and another between her and Daddy in the front seat. The rest of us would be scattered around the station wagon, and Mom and Dad would send out a plea to Let the Rest of the World Go By.


Daddy wasn't one to let the kids sleep in on the weekends. When he was awake for the day, everybody was awake for the day. And if you weren't, he had a wake-up song he loved to blast on the stereo. Who needs an alarm clock when you have the drums in Song of India?
