The Tong Tong Pakitong Song

My Wife's Papa used to sing this song to her in Bisaya, (Cebuano), when she was a little girl in Mindanao, Philippines.

Here is a Bisaya, (Cebuano), version of The Crab Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKc93P0GM4U .  Another Bisaya version, this time a boy accompanying himself on ukulele: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vlebvIFCx4 .

My wife insists that the Bisaya version is "the original", (of course!), but if you prefer Tagalog, here is a different version in that dialect:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtmyNIWutkY .

Yet another Tagalog version, with commentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzRb_6d3Ln8 .
