or, “Baby Come Out Song” if you ask Mo.

C and Mo collaborated on a welcome home song for Mojo, with a little help from Dad. Seriously. Just a little. I only balanced volume levels and such. I’m just the producer, I swear.

The drums, mandolin, and piano are canned loops. The harmonica was performed by both Mo and C — they took turns. And of course, they sang all their own parts.

Anyway, here’s the song. Song For Mojo.mp3

Now, I had a little trouble wrangling the kids closer to the mic. I know, that’s the job of the producer, but it’s a little nerve wracking to sing into a mic for any purpose, so we applaud their bravery all the same.

Here are the lyrics, in case you want to follow along:

(C’s verse)
A new one is coming.
It will be joyful.
It’s a happy time of year!

(Mo’s verse)
It’s fun to watch the baby asleep
with that song on.
But I like to play the drum song
with the baby awake.
