I thought that we should all sing along, this morning.


Come on... everyone, now!

My Mom gave me a knickle to buy a pickle...
they didn't have a pickle,
so I bought some chewing gum!

La la la la la chewing gum!
La laaaaaa la chewing gum!
La la la la la chewing gum!
I bought some chewing gum!


OK, you are excused, now.

[Jennie@ifish]

Don't know that one?

OK, My Grandpa used to sing this.

When Father papered the parlour, you couldn't see pole for paste.
He was dabbing it here and dabbing it there,
There was paste and paper everywhereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ma was stuck to the ceiling,
the kids was stuck to the floor.

Have you ever seen such a bloomin family, so stuck up before?

[Jennie@ifish]

Yep. I knew it! My monitor smells like Lemons! ^o

[Splash]

Pledge

EEK no! The dust would never forgive me.

I thought it was some kind of special chewing gum.

[retaliate]

I don't think your nuts, maybe a little bored. Heres one everybody should know...at least your Mother should know.

Lift up your heart and sing me a song
that was a hit before your mother was born
tho she was born a long long time ago
your mother should know
your mother should know

[TheRogue]

Get up, get up, you sleepy head
Come on, come on, get out of bed
Laugh, sing, jump and be jolly.....
When the red, red robin comes
Bop, bop, boppin' along!!


great, now that one will be stuck in my head.

BTW, Jennie.....4 posts in a row to start off. That's officially a rant!!

[Reel_Big_Fish]

WOW...that's pretty much all I can say.

Then again, for some reason it made me think of the Little Rascals movie (from the mid 90s). Where Buckwheat and Porky were eating pickles and singing some strange song.

Ahhh...a chance to post one of my favorites...! Remember "The Point"? Annimated movie with music by Harry Nilsson... Yeah, it's a cartoon...but one of the finest! Sing along now...!

Think About Your Troubles
- Harry Nilsson

Sit beside the breakfast table
Think about your troubles
Pour yourself a cup of tea
And think about the bubbles

You can take your teardrops
And drop them in a teacup
Take them down to the riverside
And throw them over the side
To be swept up by a current
And taken to the ocean
To be eaten by some fishes
Who were eaten by some fishes
And swallowed by a whale
Who grew so old
He decomposed


He died and left his body
To the bottom of the ocean
Now everybody knows
That when a body decomposes
The basic elements
Are given back to the ocean

And the sea does what it oughta
And soon there's salty water
(That's not too good for drinking)
'Cause it tastes just like a teardrop
(So they run it through a filter)
And it comes out from a faucet
(And is poured into a teapot)
Which is just about to bubble
Now think about your troubles...

[OceanBlue]

Here you go, Jennie - this one's from my grandma:

You are My Sunshine, My only Sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my Sunshine away!

Old Dan Tucker


Old Dan Tucker(Daniel Decatur Emmett)cho:

Get out the way for old Dan Tucker,
He's too late to have his supper,
Supper's over, dinner's a-cookin',(alternate: Pot's on the fire and dinner's cooking)
But Old Dan Tucker's just standin' there lookin'.

Old Dan Tucker's a fine old man,
Washed his face in a frying pan,
Combed his hair with a wagon wheel,
Died of toothache in his heel.

Old Dan Tucker he come to town,
Riding on a billygoat, leading a hound,
Hound dog bark and the billygoat jump,
Throwed Dan Tucker on top of a stump.

Old Dan Tucker, he got drunk,
Fell in the fire and he kicked up a chunk,
Red hot coal got in his shoe,
Oh my Lawdy how the ashes flew.

Old Dan Tucker, he come to town,
Swinging the ladies round and round,
First to the right and then to the left
And then to the gal that he loved best.

I come to town the other night,
To hear the noise and see the fight
The people, they was running around (or: watchman, he was..)
Cryin' Old Dan Tucker's come to town.

Ol' Dan and me we did fall out,
An' what do you reckon it was about?
He stepped on my corn,
I kicked him on the shin,
An' that's the way this row begin.

(And 3 less well-known verses

Ol' Dan Tucker clumb a tree,
His Lord and Master for to see,
The limb it broke and Dan got a fall,
Never got to see his Lord at all.

Ol' Dan Tucker went to the mill,
To git some meal to put in the swill;
The miller swore by the p'int of his knife
He never seed such a man in his life.

Dan Tucker begun in early life
To play the banjo and the fife;
He'd play the boys and gals to sleep
And then into some bunk he'd creep.

Don, I have to laugh about O'l Dan Tucker. I raised my kids singing that song. Learned it watching Little House on the Prairie when Victor French sang that diddy. Been awhile since I pulled out that tune. Thanks for bring back a good memory. My kids still remember it to this day.

Bernie, my Father-in-law used to sing the first two verses (I'm pretty sure those are all he knew.) for years and, to my daughter when she was little . . . long before that Little House episode. 'Brings back good memories of "the 'ol _art knocker," my friend and hunting/fishing buddy, Harley C Clark. Don

[CATCH AND EAT]

SAme deal here. Just knew the first two verses of the song and have never seen the rest of it until now. Thanks for printing it. Got some memorization to do now.

Sounds to me like you have a joyful heart! That's a good thing. Just make up your own melody and lyrics and sing your heart out! I think it will made you live longer--at least it's worth the effort! Beats all the whining that we hear in the media.

[hawgcatcher]

We used to have a tramp that roamed around Oregon City in the 50's that went by the name of Happy. We kids used to hear him go along and sing that "old dan Tucker" song with him using his name of Happy. It was only when I got in my teens that I knew the true song. I can still remember some of the verses he sang, however, I will not repeat them here.

I had a little monkey ,his name was slimzy Jim, I put him in the bath tub to teach him how to swim he drank up all the water and ate up all the soap now every time he talks there is a bubble in his throat.

:valentine:

Itty bitty spider went up the water spout , down came the rain and washed the spider out , out came the sun and dried up all the rain and the itty bitty spider went up the spout again.

Could have been worse, nobody knows, you never can tell by the way things go.

It looks mighty serious at the first, it's better now, but it could have been worse.

Went to see my girl the other day, she was taking a bath and her mother said May, "slip on something, here's mister Brown". She slipped on the top step and come right down.

It could've been worse, but knowbody knows. You never can tell by the way things go. It looks mighty serious at the first, it's better now but it could hqave been worse.

The horse and the flea and the three blind mice were out in the barnyard shaking dice. The horse he slipped and he fell on his knee and ouch said the flee, that's a horse on me.

[swampy]

Ahh,Jen, I wanted to play along but just have never heard those. But if a joyful spirit in the morning is "nuts" then we should all be so crazy.:excited :
