One of my children was asking me to sing the 'milkshake' song this morning. It took me awhile to remember it, as it is a few years since we sang it.

When we lived in a little isolated country community down south, we went along to a lovely Playcentre group twice a week, and this is the song they used to sing. It was my favourite. I don't know if it was the children's favourite, but something about it appealed to my imagination. It's a pity I can't get the tune on here - it's just a simple tune, but here are words.

"What if all the raindrops were lemonade and gumdrops,

Oh, what a rain it would be.

(Now, tip your head back and open your mouth wide for actions).

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah, ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,

Oh what a rain it would be.

What if all the snowflakes were candyfloss and milkshakes

Oh, what a snow it would be.

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah, ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,

Oh what a snow it would be.

What if all the sunshine were sherbet and icecream

Oh, what a sun it would be.

Standing outside with my mouth open wide

Ah, ah, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,

Oh what a sun it would be."

I think I'm missing out some words somewhere, but that's the bones of it, and I love it!
