Assignment 9/11: List

First official assignment for this class: make a list of your songs. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but here are my beginnings. Please comment and tell me your remembered School songs (clapping, jumprope games?), camp songs?, family songs?

School Songs


Row, Row, Row your boat


Hush little baby


All the pretty little horses

Rock a by, baby, on the tree top

Kukabura

Fish and Chips and Vinegar (Don't Put Your Muck in My Bucket/One Bottle o' Pop)

Baby Beluga

I've been working on the railroad

If all the raindrops were lemon drops and gumdrops (If all the snowflakes were candybars and milkshakes)

She'll be coming around the mountain


This Pretty Planet
This Pretty Planet
Is spinning through space
Your garden, your harbor, your holy place
Golden sun going down
Gentle blue giant spinning around

Black Socks
Black socks
They never get dirty
The longer you wear them
The blacker they get
Sometimes
I think I should wash them
But something inside me
Tells me not just yet!


Michael Finnigan
There was an old man named Michael Finnigan
He had whiskers on his chin-igan
They fell out and then grew in again
Poor old Michael Finnigan, Begin again.


John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

99 Bottles of Beer (pop, coke) on the Wall

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer

My Bonnie lies over the ocean


Fried Ham

Bingo



Old McDonald Had A Farm


Oh Lord Byron, do not touch me


You are my sunshine

Miss Mary Mack (Mack..Mack..)

Wheels on the Bus

Green grass grows all around all around

Down By the Bay
Down by the Bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do, my Mother would say...
(Insert rhymed verse here like,)
Did you ever see a whale
With a polka dot tail?
Down by the bay

This is the song that never ends
yes it goes on and on my friend (from Lamb Chops' Playalong)

Miss Lucy

Turn it Off (Learned in my 4th grade program. Environmentally themed program. Still remember the dance moves)
Turn it off! Turn it off!
Running water.
(Turn it off! Turn it off!)
Save the power
(Turn it off! Turn it off!)
Running water.
(Turn it off! Turn it off!)
Save the power.
YEAH!
Turn it off when you brush.
It's a 5 hour rush [never was quite sure what that meant...]
Turn it off!

The Ants Go Marching
The Ants Go Marching
One by one
Hurrah, Hurrah
The Ants Go Marching
One by one
Hurrah, Hurrah...
The little one stops to
Suck his thumb
And they all go marching
Down, to the ground
To get out of the rain

2- Tie his shoe
3- climb a tree, scratch his knee, take a pee
4- shut the door
5- do the jive, learn to jive
6- pick up sticks
7- go to heaven
8- back a cake, shut the gate
9- check the time, drinks and wine, scratch his behind
10- to start aagin, and that's the end

If you're happy and you know it

James-James-Bo-Bames
Banana-Fanny-Fo-Fames
Me-My-Mo-Mames
Jaaaaames


Family Songs

Tick tock, the Cuckoo Clock

COMET
Comet, it makes your teeth turn green.
Comet, it tastes like gasoline
Comet, it makes you vomit
So have some Comet
And vomit
Todaaaaaaaaay!

Little Red School House
In the little red school house
With my book and slate
In the little red school house
I was always late...(continues)

We're Going on a Bear Hunt (and my friend Winston's Pub version that includes verses that are "tongue in cheek")

Christa McAuliffe
Christa McAuliffe
You were meant to be
A teacher remembered
In our history...
(Learned from my mom. About the Challenger disaster)

Happy Birthday (the Harris version, sung like a dirge)
Happy Birthday
Oh Happy Birthday
Sickness, sadness, and despair
People dying everywhere
On your birthday
So happy birthday

I like Apples and Oranges

I love the Mountains (in a round)
