Do you have a unique song you sing when you make a special dish?

Posted by Ravara, December 21, 2008

So, I'm curious if anyone but me has a song (even of the jingle-ish variety) that they sing when making a specific dish. My most memorable, even 15 years later, is my grandma's pancake song:
"PANcakes everyone, PANcakes everyone, we know how to make them!
PANcakes everyone, PANcakes everyone, for our breakfast today!
Yesterday was (fill in here), and tomorrow's (fill in here),
but we are happy on (today, fill in here) morning for this is pancake day!"
Aaaah, to hear her sing it again.
I'm also fond of the much more softly sung/whispered in a snoozy sweetie's ear "wakey wakey, eggs and baccy" (bakey? backey? I'm not sure there's a right way to spell the cutie pie version of bacon. But there should be). This is best followed by the running of a hot cup of joe under the loved one's nose for maximum fortification before a hard day, either on the job or in the bed.
Any other favorites?
