Oh, and to the topic starter . . . not to nitpick, but the Walrus doesn't go ''Coo Coo Ka Choo", he goes, "Goo Goo G'joob".

that's probably because they're mentioned in the opening thread.
How about "Yesterday all my bubbles seemed so far away"?
Sorry.

Good ideas all, Ob-La-Di is a great recommendation, and I think Maxwell's Silver Hammer could be altered to become more age appropriate. You'll note the reworked lyrics to I am the Walrus for much the same reason. The original is a little trippy.
Slarti, thanks for the ideas, though the first two that you mentioned (the ones that you didn't actually disqualify) were half of the reason for the original post.
and Tarquin, thank you for the compliment.
Jeff (J-Man), she will actually turn two on Monday, we're having the big party on Saturday.

Not a Beatles song, but we were able to get the kids into the tub by singing Splish Splash. May have gotten that idea from Sesame Street.

A lot of their stuff has rhymes that would appeal to little kids. Ob-La-Di Ob-la-da would be pretty good. Maybe Maxwell's Silver Hammer, but that might be pushing the envelope for Tori (how old is she now? two??). More realistically speaking, Good Day Sunshine would be a good one.

No ones mentioned Octopus's Garden or Yellow Submarine or Helter Skelter wait, forgot the last one unless you like to bathe in blood or something.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Many of the rhymes written by John Lennon are easily appealing to children. Nonsense rhymes from English kids or just the absurd style of English humour was greatly misunderstood in America during the 60's. My kids have taken a liking to almost every Beatle record. They request Beatles music quite often and stand in front of the stereo singing all the words until the album is finished.

Maybe not the Beatles, but maybe Syd Barrett's "Terrapin"? note: terrapin are a type of turtle.

Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da always entertained me immensely as a little kid, so I would definitely recommend that one! Bath time-specific? Well . . . not really, but yeah . . . great song for kids nonetheless.

I don't know about bath time, but I teach ESL to kids and use more and more Beatles songs to do so 
Much more fun for me than Barney song.
Funny thing is, I have to come up with a bunch of moves to go along with the lyrics to make it easier for them to remember the songs and the words. You should see my Yellow Submarine routine  .
But I'll definitely see what I can do with Tarquin's suggestions. Thanks!

Best thread title ever. I commend you. 
And as far as bathtime Beatles tunes, may I suggest:
Piggies
Good Day Sunshine
Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite
Maxwell's Silver Hammer (that might be bad parenting with the theme and all)
And the ever-appropriate: She Came In Through The Bathroom Window
They just kinda have that bathtub feel

Ok, so I've never been a huge fan of the Beatles, though they've been growing on me.
My daughter is just about two and I bath time is Daddy time. Many of her bath time toys have their own song, and frankly, I'm struck by the number of times the Beatles appear during the bath time juke box.
Here are some of her bath toys (and accompanying lyrics):
I am you and you are she and we are they and we're all here together,
Sitting in the bathtub having lots of fun see how they run, I'm crying.
This is the bathtub . . .
You are the baby . . . woo
I am the Walrus . . . coo coo ka choo.
And that's right, if you ask her what the Walrus says, she totally answers coo coo ka choo
Also on the bathtub line up is Yellow Submarine (original lyrics) and Octopus' Garden (also original lyrics).
As I mentioned, I was surprised at how many times the Beatles appeared in the bathtub.
Does anyone else know of any Beatles songs for the bath tub?
And a related question, I need a song for a turtle and an albatross? Any ideas?
