So the song "Hey there Delilah" came out when Elijah was a baby and I used to sing it to him with his name in the song, since it kinda works. I decided it would be fun to change more of the words to fit him just for fun, so here is the "Elijah" version.
p.s. singing it on you tube karaoke is really fun and Elijah really gets a kick out of it!

"Hey There Elijah"
Hey there Elijah what's it like in Kindergarten
don't forget to use your manners, please and thank you and beg your pardon
Remember all that I've taught you, you know what's true
Hey there Elijah don't you worry don't you miss me
I'm right here if you get lonely give this song another listen
Close your eyes listen to my voice it's my disguise
I'm by your side
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
Hey there Elijah I know sometimes school is hard
but believe me boy you'll have some fun just playing in the school yard
You'll have it good, you'll make some friends like I knew you would
Your life is good
Hey there Elijah I've got so much left to say
since you were just a littlebundle
I've been dreaming of this day... you were so small
now that you're in Kindergarten you've got it all -you've got it all!
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Kindergarten seems like a great big deal
I don't even know just what I feel
I only know that I'll always love you
You're changing more and growing up
and learning just all kinds of stuff
that I couldn't teach you all on my own
Elijah I can promise you
that by the time that you get through
the world will never ever be the same
I've graduated you'll exclaim
Hey there Elijah
you be good and don't you miss me
twelve more years and you'll be done with school
And I will be so full of glee for you
You know it's all up to you
You can do whatever you want to
Hey there Elijah here's to you
This one's for you
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
Oh it's what you do to me
What you do to me
LOVE it!! You are so creative! I couldn't just read it, I had to sing it. :) Of course, now he's going to expect a new song for every grade. ;)
