When my daughter was born, I would sing to her every night. Songs included Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star, The Alphabet Song, Hush Little Baby, and--of course--The Buckeye Battle Cry and Carmen Ohio.
Lately, I have been singing the songs to my son, and she has definitely picked up on more of the words of the latter two songs. Sometimes she tries to sing them to herself, and I have to say, it warms my heart. She doesn't quite have the words down, but she gets the gist of it. I have been trying to catch her on camera, but she clams up when I pull the camera out, but I at least wanted to share what I usually hear from her when she attemps to sing it.
In Ol' Ohio, there's a baby
Known throughout the land
Eleven warmers, brazen fold
Who fames shall never land
And when the ball over
our cheers reach the SKY!
Ohio field hears again
The Buckeye Bat Cry!
DRIVE! DRIVE down to the field
Men of scarmitt and grey!
Don't go through the vine,
We win this game today!
COME ON OHIO!
SMASH through to dickory
We cheer as you go!
Our smwhuwh defend, we fight to end
for O-HI-O!
