Tickle That Tum -Tum - Classical Tickle Tunes for Tummy Time

Introduce your baby to classical music right from the start with this cute tickle tune set to the well known Sailor’s Hornpipe which is traditionally part of the last night of the proms programme at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Tickle that tum-tum,
Here my fingers come!
Tickle that tum-tum,
Here my fingers come!
Cos they tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle,
When they see a pretty baby,
With a plump tum-tum!

This is the perfect playful way to bring a little classical music into your everyday routine, and will become a firm favourite at any changing time. Make a tickle action through the first part of the song to tease them before you actually tickle them on the tickle, tickle, tickle bit. Babies love the build up and suspense, and the anticipation of the tickle that is on it’s way.

You don’t have to sing it as fast as they play it in the youtube video above, but your baby will love it if you start slowly and get gradually faster and faster as you sing it over and over.
