The Singing Game "Who Stole the Cookies From the Cookie Jar?" (Videos)

Wee Sing, Jul 7, 2015  #weesing #kidssongs #kidsmusic

Oh no, who can have stolen the cookies from the cookie jar? Do you know who? From Grandpa's Magical Toys – Wee Sing.

Grandpa's Magical Toys: It's a very special day when Peter and his friends go to Grandpa's to see his toys. And before they know it, they find themselves magically shrinking to toy size! That's just the beginning in this delightful musical adventure. Meet Punchinello the Clown, a singing British sailor, a jump-roping Little Dutch Girl, young Scottish dancers, and more, as they sing, dance, and serve up plenty of laughs. And when they help Grandpa solve a problem, everyone learns the importance of being young at heart.

Grandpa's Magical Toys- Wee Sing was first released in 1988. 

This version of the "Who Stole The Cookies From The Cookie Jar" singing game ends with the large cookie jar saying in a gruff, robotic, and (I believe) scary voice that he stole the cookies from the cookie jar. (No explanation is given for how the cookie jar could have stolen cookies), which (I believe) could increase this segment's scariness..

Lyrics for this version of "Who Stole The Cookies From The Cookie Jar"

[This transcription is from that video's English language auto-generated transcript, with my addition of punctuations and capitalizations) Additions and corrections are welcome.

"Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar?

Was it you?

Was it you?

(Not me.)

(Not me.)

(Not me.)

(Not me.)

(Not me.)

If  you didn't steal the cookies from the cookie jar
then who?

When I find out, I'm going to get you.

I'mma put you on a time out.

Look me in my eyes and tell me you ain't lying .

Let me see let me see.

Open up.

(It wasn't me.)

Now you know,  those cookies are my favorite snacks:

Chocolate Chips,  Snicker Doodle and a SN Honey Dip,

Peanut butter, and Vanilla Wafers, Chocolate Mint, Oatmeal's
my favorite flavor.

And after dinner, you know I got the sweetest tooth.

I got to find this cookie monster>

Need to know the truth...

Who ate all my treats?"
