Ian, my son still asks me to sing this canci�n infantil for him when I put him to bed.
One of the most important traditions we have at home is singing before bed time. I guess singing sooths our son,
for me, it is a perfect time to keep Latin culture alive.
I guess Pin Pon became one of his favorite songs because I started altering the words to replace them with
his name, and make Pin Pon Ian by singing: "Ian es un mu�eco muy guapo y de cart�n se lava la carita con agua
y con jab�n..." intead of "Pin Pon es un muneco..."
Tips when teaching this song:
Teach the complete song before you start replacing the words with your child's name.
Repetition is key.
Use this song when taking a bath or shower. It is the perfect time to sing and wash your face.
Also bring a comb or peine to practice and act the entire song. Kids love acting!
Lyrics
Pin Pon es un mu�eco
muy guapo y de cart�n
se lava la carita con agua y con jab�n. Repeat
Pin Pon siempre se peina con peine de marfil
y aunque se hace tirones no llora ni se hace as�. Repeat
Pin Pon dame la mano
con un fuerte apret�n
yo quiero ser tu amigo Pin Pon, Pin Pon, Pin Pon.
Pin Pon dame la mano
con un fuerte apreton
que quiero ser tu amigo Pin Pon, Pin Pon, Pin Pon.
This last verse is not included in the video
Y cuando las estrellas comienzan a salir
Pin Pon se va a la cama
Pin Pon se va a dormir.
