[Two hoots]

My gran sang a song to me, the only part I can remember is "she'll be coming around the mountain when she comes" I've no idea of any other line, only that one sung over and over again 

It's the same with nursery rhymes, does anyone still teach them to young children ?

She'll be wearing pink pyjamas when she comes.
She'll be wearing pink pyjamas when she comes.
She'll be wearing pink pyjamas,wearing pink pyjamas,wearing pink pyjamas when she comes.

Singing aye aye yippie yippie aye.
 Singing aye aye yippie yippie aye.
Singing aye aye yippie, aye aye yippie, aye aye yippie yippie aye 🎶

Think that's the one you mean two hoots

I think a lot of the nursery rhymes had dark undertones didn't they?obviously in this pc world we live in now,they're discouraged,shame really,they'll all be lost.

How Much is that Doggy in the Window - that was Uncle Mac on a Sat. morning 

I can't remember my first buy but it was probably an LP of a musical ............ South Pacific comes close, in 1967.  Went to the Odeon in Bristol and cried all the way through (hormones) 

We used to go into the store, chose an EP, go into a booth and put it on to see whether we wanted to buy it.

They're not discouraged in my area but there are a lot of parents who have to be taught them as they didn't have them sung to them when young themselves.

Same with skipping rhymes which apparently differ up and down the UK

Good one jaypo. This is an old marching song from the 1800's remembering the American abolitionist John Brown.

Also ring a ring a roses. We didnt know it was about the plague.
At kids parties the parents made an arch and us kids went through and it was "oranges and lemons said the bells of st Clements...and the last line was "hear comes a chopper to chop off your head, chip chop the last man's dead"  lovely!! That one had all the London churches. Names. I grew up in east London so it night have been just a local song .
