Thread expansion:

If you are seeking other children's songs or rhymes to share with that group, there's this rhyme:

I love myself
I think I'm grand.
I sit in the movies
And hold my hand.
I put my arms around my waist.
And when I get fresh.
I slap my face.

I collected it from a 40ish African American woman in Pittsburgh who said her mother taught it to her when she was growing up in Washington, D.C.

That verse shows up in this example of the song "I'm A Nut".
also i know one that goes like:

im a little acorn nice and round
i live away down in the ground
and every1 walks over me
and that is why im cracked, you see

i'm a nut (clap, clap), in a rut (clap, clap)
i'm a nut (clap, clap), in a rut (clap, clap)

I call myself on the telephone
just to here my golden tone
i ask myself on a little date
and i pick myself up about half past 8

i'm a nut (clap, clap), in a rut (clap, clap)
i'm a nut (clap, clap), in a rut (clap, clap)

i love me, i think im grand
i sit in the movies and hold my hand
i put my arm around my waist
and when i get fresh, i slap my face

i'm a nut (clap, clap), in a rut (clap, clap)
i'm a nut (clap, clap), in a rut (clap, clap)

Does anyone know if this "I love myself" verse is usually a part of that "I'm A Nut" song?
