about

This song was written in April 2011.

When my son Montana was born I had a lot to learn about babies.

I had put diapers on lots of babies before, but I had never used cloth diapers. One day when I put the diaper on him it flew out the back of his pants a few inches and Nala laughed and said it looked like a cape. In my defense, Montana was a little baby and the diapers were huge! But that's when we started calling him "Diaperman."

Nala also made up the first Diaperman song, now known as "The Diaperman Theme Song." It goes:

Diaperman
Diaperman is here
Diaperman
Diaperman will save the day
Diaperman is here
Diaperman is here to save the day

Anyway, we started laughing about this for a while and thought that Diaperman needed his own folk song. "Diaperman" was born.

lyrics

Diaperman with his diaper on
Hovers over the front lawn
Diaperman flies high and straight
In his mustard-colored cape
Diaperman surveys the scene
His diaper is always clean
Diaperman patrols the skies
Pooing on all the bad guys

Down below in the grass
A Nincompoop drops some trash then
Flees the scene in tennis shoes
Diaperman's in hot pursuit
Nincompoop ducks and hides
Diaperman flies on by
Nincompoop is safe at last
In his hideout by the railroad tracks

Diaperman doubles back
Setting up his sneak attack
Nincompoop looks both ways
Creeps out from his secret cave
Diaperman loop-d-loops
Swoops down on the Nincompoop
Diaperman gives him a hug
Don't be such a litterbug

When you look at the Nincompoop
You'd never know he knows kung fu
The two of them join forces
Faster than two racehorses
Now Diaperman is superdupe
With his sidekick Nincompoop
With a birds eye view they protect the land
Nincompoop and Diaperman

Diaperman does it again turning foe into friend
Diaperman does it again another happy ending
