What do you like on your pizza? Socks? Cats? Baseball Bats?
One of the songs on Singing Time, called the Silly Pizza Song, combines food items not commonly found on pizza – in song – to make a very silly pizza. The tune is pretty catchy, and we find ourselves singing it often.

Lately though, we’ve played a little differently. . .

It is fun to sing things like “I like Bridget on my Pizza, I like Bridget Pizza please.” – to which she usually yells, “Nooooo.” So then we started saying things like “I like socks on my pizza,” or “I like cars on my pizza.” Occasionally we’ll throw in a food item, “I like carrots on my pizza.” Bridget has gotten pretty good at distinguishing between food items and non-food items, and she’ll respond with a yes or a no accordingly. Sometimes we confuse her a bit though. . . “I like eggplant on my pizza” – she still yells “No” for that one.

In any case she loves to play along with – and we get a kick out of watching her laugh at the silly things that we suggest adding to her pizza.

For those unfamiliar with the Silly Pizza Song, here are the lyrics:

Silly Pizza Song

When I’m feeling hungry and I don’t feel like stopping
I think of silly pizzas with all my favorite toppings—

APPLES!
I like APPLES on my pizza, I like APPLE pizza please! Put the APPLES on my pizza, don’t forget the extra CHEESE!

CRACKERS!
I like CRACKERS on my pizza, I like CRACKER pizza please! Put the CRACKERS on the APPLES, put the APPLES on my pizza, don’t forget the extra CHEESE!

ICE CREAM!
I like ICE CREAM on my pizza, I like ICE CREAM pizza please! Put the ICE CREAM on the crackers, put the CRACKERS on the APPLES, put the APPLES on my pizza, don’t forget the extra CHEESE!
