[kayakamina]

A children's nursery rhyme.

[JULIEWOOLIE]

cant get it k! looked through my sons nursery rhyme book to no avail?

[kayakamina]

The first two five letter words start and end with K.

It is the chorus rather than the beginning you are looking for. Concentrate on 'DAd' in the clue and what he could also be called!
