What was the first song you could sing all the words too ?

Ok my parents were kinda into bob dylan so the first song I recall knowing all the words too was Rainy Day Woman.
Ever before nursery songs.Second was don mccleans american pie.

11. "I'm a little teapot, short and stout..."

[starroute]

12. "If I'd known you were coming, I'd a baked a cake"

I took dance lessons for a few months when I was three, and they taught us a little dance with hand gestures to go with the song. I figured it was just some kiddie thing, and it wasn't until was many years later that I learned it had actually been a hit at the time. The lyrics weren't exactly challenging:

If I'd known you were coming, I'd a baked a cake
Baked a cake, baked a cake
If I'd known you were coming, I'd a baked a cake
How d'ya do, how d'ya do, how d'ya do

If I'd known you were coming, I'd a hired a band
Grandest band in the land
etc.


On edit -- remembered a little more:

Now I don't know where you come from
And I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in

[Gildor Inglorion]

19. "I love trash" by Oscar the Grouch

Anything dhingy or dirty or rusty...

[wyldwolf]

22. I know that one! (Lyrics)

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty.
Anything ragged or rotton or rusty.
Yes, I love trash.

I have here a sneaker that's tattered and worn.
It's all full of holes and the laces are torn...
A gift from my mother the day I was born.
I love it because it's trash.

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty.
Anything ragged or rotton or rusty.
Yes, I love trash.

I have here some newspaper thirteen months old.
I've wrapped some fish inside it, it's smelly and old.
But I wouldn't trade it for a big pot o' gold!
I love it because it's trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty.
Anything ragged or rotton or rusty.
Yes, I love trash.

I've a clock that won't work,
And an old telephone.
A broken umbrella, a rusty trombone...
And I am delighted to call them my own!
I love them because they're trash

Oh, I love trash!
Anything dirty or dingy or dusty.
Anything ragged or rotton or rusty.
Yes, I love, I love, I love trash!
