[AhBee01]

Down in the meadow in a little bitty pool
Swam three little fishies and a mama fishie too
"Swim" said the mama fishie, "Swim if you can"
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
And they swam and they swam all over the dam

"Stop" said the mama fishie, "or you will get lost"
The three little fishies didn't wanna be bossed
The three little fishies went off on a spree
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
And they swam and they swam right out to the sea

"Whee!" yelled the little fishies, "Here's a lot of fun
We'll swim in the sea till the day is done"
They swam and they swam, and it was a lark
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark!

Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Boop boop dit-tem dat-tem what-tem Chu!
Till all of a sudden they saw a shark!

"Help!" cried the little fishies, "Gee! look at all the whales!"
And quick as they could, they turned on their tails
And back to the pool in the meadow they swam
And they swam and they swam back over the dam

I'm glad I'm not the only one with silly songs stuck in my head. This morning it's my dad's lyrics to Reuben.

Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking
What on earth have you been drinking
Is it whiskey? Is it wine?
Oh my gosh it's turpentine!

Row row row your boat
gently down the stream
throw your teacher overboard
and listen to her scream!

AHHHHHHHH

SOOOOOOOO many annoying songs!!! AHHHHHHHHHH

 

[sewing]

I have been looking for this ABC song, too. There are some lines I can't remember

There was a little man learned his ABCs
He learned to say them all through the XYZs

A is for an apple red
B is for a baby bed
C is for a circus clown upside down

Now listen little man and you shall not fail

D is for a dog with a waggly tail
E is for an elephant, putting up a circus tent
F is for a frog sitting on a log

now G is for giraffe with his neck so long
and H is for a horse that is very strong
I is for an ice igloo
J is for a juggler, too
K us for a hop, hop, hopping kangaroo

Now L is for a lion of kingly look
and M is for the music that's in a book
N is for a nanny goat chewing on a petticoat
O is for an ostrich with....... (neck so long?)

Now P is for a pig with a curly tail
and Q is for a quaint bird that's called a quail
R is for a robin red
S for Santa on his sled
T is for ..................

U is for umbrella in sun or rain
and V for violin with its sweet refrain
W for wolf along
X is for a xylephone
Y for yak
and Z for zebra in the zoo

That is all I know. I've tried to fill in the blanks, but my mom is in her 80s and can't remember. I'm going to ask one of her sisters.

This song was reproduced in an unusual book. My copy was probably destroyed in a fire that struck a house my parents lived in in 1969. The book had the words with pictures on its pages. But its back cover was a rubber-belt music box with a hand-turned crank. So you could turn the crank to play the tune and sing along as you turned the pages. I, being quite unconventional, was always looking for ways to do things wrong. So I would turn the crank the wrong direction to play the music backwards. I still recall some of the tune that way.

Here are your words with changes as I recall them. (You know what ancient recollections are like!)

My mother tells me my dad had a different use for the book. There was a lady they knew that couldn't stand uncompleted music. So he'd play all of it but the last note and then hide it from her. She'd try singing the note herself, but it didn't help.

I have one of the silliest songs in my head, and it won't get out!

Little Green Frog

mmm-aah went the little green frog one day.
mmm-aah went the little green frog.
mmm-aah went the little green frog one day.
And his eyes went mmm-ahh mmm-aah-aah


There's more to it, of course, but WHY do I have that in my head?

I USED TO SING THAT SONG ALL THE TIME! But I thought it was like 'and his eyes went boppity bop' or something?

About the song/book: There was a little man who learned his ABC's . . .

My mom used to sing this song to me while I turned the pages in this music box book when I was little. Maybe 60+ years ago. I have been looking for these lyrics for over a year - and my sweet sister Amy just sent them to me after finding them on your website. Thank you thank you thank you sooo much.

I'll be looking for the finish to the "T" line . . . let you know if we have any luck. In the meantime, if you don't have it already, O is for ostrich grand, the biggest in the land."

I am soooo happy!!!
