Cheap Trick, Dee-style

Part 1
Hubby has been splitting his time between Guitar Hero II and his real guitar, and Dee has been wandering in anytime that she hears music to see what he's doing. Apparently, it's having an effect on her. I was at my desk working the other day when she came wandering down the hallway, singing.
Mommy's all right,
Daddy's all right,
Mommy's all right,
Daddy's all right,
"Excuse me?!?" I ask, surprised. Dee giggles madly, and sings it again. "Where did you learn that?" I ask.
"Daddy!" She chirped.
So, down the hallway I go, followed by a giggling monkey. "Hey, hubby? Have you heard this?" I looked at Dee. "Sing your song for Daddy."
Dee beamed, and started singing. Hubby began laughing, cementing this little song as part of her regular repertoire. "Okay, now, she says that she learned this from you," I told him. "So, why, exactly?"
Hubby laughed some more. "I didn't teach it to her; I was playing it on Guitar Hero!"
Part 2
Sometime later, I was sitting at the computer working, and she started singing again. Since she had been singing this off and on for a couple of days, I paid no attention and kept working; but a few minutes later, I started laughing uproariously. Dee had changed the lyrics!
Mommy's all right;
Daddy's all right;
Smokey's all right;
C.C.'s all right;
Mommy's all right;
Daddy's all right;
Smokey's all right;
C.C.'s all right;
(and so on).
Smokey and C.C. are the dogs.
Part 3
After several days of Dee walking around repeating four verses, I decided to minimize the damage to my psyche and at least teach her the whole refrain. During bath time, we went over the actual words:
Mommy's all right,
Daddy's all right,
They just seem a little weird.
Surrender,
Surrender,
But don't give yourself away,
Hey, heeeeeey.
This worked out pretty well, except for a tendency to go up two octaves on "weird" and pronouncing "surrender" as "render". Also, I now have the dang song stuck in my head on a daily basis!
