You Know My Name

My boys aptly demonstrated last night just how much like me they are -- they were bickering through song, after I'd tucked them in, with Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" as the melody. I sometimes will talk to them in song, like to get a point across -- our own lil' opera! So, it was something like this (I wish I could remember all of their lyrics, because they were so funny, them trying to spot-weld the words to the melody)...
[B1] pushed me, and he knocked me down
I was so mad at him
Then B1 piped up...
I only did it because [B2] punched meeee
They were going back and forth with their bicker-lyrics, which were slaying me. I let them go awhile, before joining in...
Nobody should be punching or pushing the other
you guys are brothers, you love each other
And so on.
