Oh, wow, yes! I hadn't thought of it for years now.

yes, I remember the "sheleg al ha'aretz" song!

shanie - we need sound on imamother because your chalili song rings a faint bell and I need to hear it sung!

how about:

Quote:

I'm a little teapot
short and stout
here is my handle
and here is my spout

When I get all steamed up
you hear me shout
tip me over
and pour me out!

and of course we had one hand on our waist for the handle and the other hand extended for the spout and we bent over at the end!

Where is thumbkin
where is thumbkin
here I am
here I am
how are you today sir
very well, I thank you
run away, run away

where is pointer ... etc.

"Uf ayafti, ayafti, acharei kol rishon radafti..." and "Chanan VaAliza"

more songs I never heard of!

speaking of rounds: Row row row your boat ...

and remember trips and getting on line and the first person standing near a tree and everybody going under the first two and chanting:

R A T,
T L E
S N A K E SPELLS RATTLESNAKE!

kum bachur atzail, taytzey l-avodah

one of those Zionist - chalutzim songs ...

yes, I know! and this was in the preschool division of the bais yaakov.

Quote:

Little Sally Saucer
sitting in the water
cry Sally cry
and wipe up your eyes
and turn to the east
and turn to the west
and turn to the very one that you love best!

ridiculous words!

we sang that too

and the rattlesnake song, too - I'd almost think we went to the same school, but you would have had that kum bachur atzail teacher too (and I guess you didn't Wink

)

chanan vealiza song: chanan vealiza yatz-u lasadeh, chanan haroeh, vealiza haseh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh, meh

we also did that chalili song

what about? JJ, chalav yisrael, JJ (do they still do this while jumping rope?)

Once I had a candy store and business was so bad, I asked my mother what to do and this is what she said, take a can of gasoline and put it by the door, take a match and give a scratch and no more candy store. (morbid, yes, we would bounce a rubber ball and put the ball under our legs first for all the a's, then b's etc).

or amimses, a clapsies, a twirl about, touchbacksies (played with a rubber ball against a wall....)

miss mary mack, mack, mack

Bebe, I know Sheleg Ba-aretz, too

kids calling me to come play, will reminisce more later!

hello hello SIR

why SIR
no SIR
because I have a cold (?) SIR
one sir

and there was the popular:

Quote:

Found a peanut
found a peanut
found a peanut last night
last night I found a peanut
found a peanut
last night

it was rotten ...

got a stomach-ache ...
called the doctor ...

waddlyatcha,

yes! though I would have NEVER remembered it or the words!

are your kids singing these songs or do you actually remember them???

how about:

There were ten in the bed
and the little one said,
roll over, roll over
so they all rolled over
and one fell down
there were nine in the bed
and the little one said
roll over, roll over
eight
seven
...
there was one in the bed and the little one said: GOOD NIGHT!

I actually remember them embarrassed

It's amazing what sort of useless info fills my brain from those days. And as for nowadays...yesterday I was driving home from the store and could not remember if I had put the groceries in the trunk or not... Confused

I think the peanut song ends off "died anyway, went to Heaven."

and the sock song goes
...because I have a cold SIR!
Where'd you get the cold SIR?
At the North Pole, SIR
Whatcha doin there SIR?
Catchin polar bears, SIR
How many did you catch SIR?
One SIR, two SIR....ten SIR
and that's enough for me SIR!!!!

In my days they sang "Shefa, Shefa, cholov Lubavitch". Do they do that today, or has the brand name changed?

Do they still jump to "Two on time, don't be late" or "Champeen, jellybean (subbed for Halloween), who likes, ice cream"?

Ozmom, they must have different songs in Oz.

aww c'mon
our american madrichot sang them with us on the buses.
don't anyone know my songs?

do your ears hang low
do they wobble to and fro
can you tie them in a knot
can you tie them in a bow
can you throw them over your sholder
like a gan yisroel soldier
do your ears hang low

yes my ears hang.....
