INTRODUCTION
I I lhen you come right down to it, children todayVV really aren't much different from the way theirparents or grandparents were when they were chil-dren. Toys have changed (tin soldiers would probablyrefuse to fight in today's intergalactic star wars), com-puters replace textbooks, and six-year-olds use wordsthat adults never heard before. But basically, kids arestill kids. . . still sharing the special joys of childhoodthat we older folk remember from 20 or 30 or 50 ormore years ago.
One of those special joys is music. And althoughbespangled rock-and-rollsingers may be the children'sidols of the moment, the nursery rhymes, nonsensicalnovelties and folk and holiday songs that delightedolder generations also appeal to the newest genera-tions - this year, next year and in the years to come.
In compiling the songs for this book, we reviewedpersonaland family favorites, old and new, looking forclassics that adults and children - from toddlers toteenagers - could share. We read through and re-membered Mother Goose and other nursery rhymesfrom long ago and far away. With guitar in hand, wesang old folk songs and folk songs that originated dur-ing the revival of the 1950s and '60s. . . from "Clem-
entine" to "This Land Is Your Land" . . . all of themhaving the same honesty, simplicity and charm. Wechuckled at the nonsense songs that were popular hitswith adults in less "sophisticated" times, songs like"Barney Google" and "Mairzy Doats." Children, too,loved them then, and stillwilltoday. We selected songsfrom favorite movies, shows and cartoons, and someof the fine tunes from Sesome Street and The Mup-pets. And we skipped our way through party dancessuch as "The Alley Cat" and "The Bunny Hop." Andthen there were the teaching songs . . . and the rounds. . . and holiday songs like "Rudolph the Red-NosedReindeer" and everybody's once-a-year favorite,"Happy Birthday to You."
It was difficult choosing. But in the end, we broughttogether 131 songs that we older folk can share withyoung ones. Some of the songs may give us a chanceto relive past delights; some, youngsters may be inho-ducing to us for the first time.
After selecting the songs, we got to work to ensurethat the Children's Songbook would be easy to useand enjoyable for the greatest number of people. Wekept page-turning within a song to a minimum. Insongs with many verses, where one may have somedifficulty following from line to line, we used a Read-er's Digest innovation - a tint through altemateverses, to keep the eye from wandering. We choseillushations that would delight alland help young chil-dren recognize theft favorite songs. And we told abouteach song - how and where the song was written(many, you'll find, just "growed"), what the peoplewho wrote it were like, where it has been performed.
All in all, we've worked hard to make this the bestsongbook ever compiled for children, and we're happywith the result. We hope you and the young people inyour life will share many happy hours with it.
A NOTE ON THE ARRANGEMENTS
Allsongs in the book have complete piano arrange-ments, except for the nursery rhymes in Sections 11and72 and the rounds in Section 13. These have beenananged in singleJine format but with an optional har-mony part in smaller notes.
In the 11 other sections, the melody of each song isrepeated on a separate staff, making it more easilyavailable to singers and young instrumentalists. Ouralranger, Dan Fox, has also made the melodies easyfor youngsters to sing, since he has usually kept themwithin the compass of a child's voice (middle C to Eabove). The melody can also be played on virtuallyany "C" instrument that reads in the heble clef, includ-ing the recorder. (lf played alone, B-flat or E-flat inshu-ments can play the melody line, but not in combina-tion with each other or with any "C" instrument.)
The chord symbols (i.e., C, G7, etc.) can be used forguitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin or any other instru-ment that can play chords, including even very limitedchord organs and autoharps. Chords can be simplifiedby omitting bass notes (C/E means a C chord with E inthe bass - you would simply press the button for a Cchord), or by omitting material in parentheses, as inG(7), or by using indicated alternate chords in paren-theses, i.e., D#dim (87). If your instrument doesn'thave the diminished chord, it probably does have a87, which will be acceptable.
For guitarisfs who may not read music or who donot have a secure knowledge of chords, we have pro-vided fretboard diagrams for all the basic chords usedin the book. You willfind these on pages 2 and3 of theLyric Booklet that accompanies this book.
The numbers below the melody notes are for peoplewho play the "C" chord organ and/or melodica or anyof the electronic keyboards that are so popular today.Eventually, of course, we hope that you or your favor-ite child musicians willwant to learn to read the musi-cal notes.

Words and Music by Joe Raposo
The message of this song is simple:Have fun singing . . . and don't worry if it'snot good enough for anyone else tohear. Many youngsters who watch SesomeStreet come from Latin Americancountries where everyone speaks (andsings in) Spanish. Joe Raposo, whospeaks Spanish himself, wrote the catchytune for the program in that language,calling it "Canta," which, of course, means"Sing." Under its English title, "Sing!"
was recorded by such stars as BingCrosby, Barbra Streisand and JohnnyMathis, and The Carpenters' version wasin the Top 40 for 11 weeks in 1973.

Words and Music by Joe Raposo
Kermit the Frog likes himself just the way he is, green andbeautiful. He sang this little "message" song by Joe Raposo in theearliest days of Sesome Street. "Bein' Green" makes you wonderwhat it would be like to be someone else. Would Kermit really want to bered or yellow or gold or some other brighter color? Certainly not! Eventhough it's sometimes not that easy, he's happy being green. And, like Kermit, aren'tyou glad you're you? Many singers have recorded Kermit's song, including FrankSinaha, who made it a popular hit.

In 1983, John Denver joined the Muppets in a TV special calledRocky Mountain Holiday. Many of the songs had themes that relatedto being outdoors. One of the exceptions was this lovely lullaby thatDenver sang to Kermit's nephew, a small frog named Robin. There isno one exactly like Robin, or like any of the other Muppets, for that
matter. And there's no one exactly like you!

his writing and forhis musical
conhibutions to theshow. "Rubber
Duckie" has proven tobe fun for young
and old alike. In fact,this "children's
song" went as high asI!o. 16 on the pop
music charts in 1970.Even older people
know that a favoritetoy is a very

from The Wbard of OzWords by E. Y. Harburg; Music by Harold Arlen
Ray Bolger was most convincing as the Scarecrow inThe Wbard ofOz; his rubbery-legged dancing made him look jointless. He had a lotof fun even if he was supposedly without a brain. And he had morebrain than he thought, just as the Tin Woodman had more heart and
the Cowardly Lion more nerve than either of them suspected.

@vffiR3flffiffifrom The Wizard of Oz
Words by E. Y. HarburgMusic by Harold Arlen
Freely and delicately
Judy Garland was just a young starlet when she sang "Over
the Rainbow" in The Wizord of Oz, but it became her theme songfor the rest of her life. It was almost cut from the moviebecause some people thought it was too slow-paced andinterfered with the action. Luckily, "Over the Rainbow" waskept in and won an Academy Award for Best Film Song of 1939.It's a song about dreaming and wishing and finding a trouble-free tomorrow. And remember, sometimes dreams do come bue.

llg/*/,Danny Kaye inhoduced "The Inch Worm" in the 1952film Hons Chnshan Andercen, which had a sparklingscore by Frank Loesser. There is something magical
about a worm measuring a marigold, and the slow tempoof the song creates the feeling of the measuring process.Maybe that's what those worms really do. Who knows?

from The Sound of MusicWords by Oscar Hammerstein II
Music by Richard Rodgers
Maria Rainer, studying to be a nun inan Aushian abbey before World War II,
seemed miscast in the stem religious setting.A wise Mother Abbess instead assigned her to
serve temporarily as govemess for the seven motherlesschildren of Baron von Trapp. Maria, as the world now knows -
thanks to Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music -manied the Baron and imbued the entire family with her love of life and of
music. When the Nazis forced the Tiapps to flee Austria, they came eventuallyto America, and for years, as The Trapp Family Singers, performed their songs for audiences,
until the children manied and settled down in many different places. In the show, lvlaria (firstplayed on Broadway by Mary Martin and by Julie Andrews in the movie) uses "Do-Re-Mi" to teach the
children the musicalscale. It's easy to see why it has become one of the most popular "lessons" in musicalhistory!

Tempo mysterioso
Pamthcrscreen, and this mysterious, jazal themewas heard, played on a tenor saxophoneand a trombone. There is really a greatdeal of fun in the mock-seriousness ofHenry Mancini's award-winning music,considering the movie that was to follow.

Additional words bv Ann Ronell
Walt Disney's The Three Little Pigs(1933) produced this surprising hit song.Actually, all of the little pigs should havebeen afraid, but only the third piglet was
wary and wise enough to build hishouse of shong bricks and so keep big
bad wolfie away from his door.

In the final part of Snour White, the Prince finds the sleepingSnow White and pours out his heart to her as he sings "One
Song." He has one song, one heart, one love . . . only forher. The beauty of the music alone should have been capableof breaking the magic spell Snow White was under, but itwasn't until the Prince kissed her that she opened her eyes.

from Snou White and the Seven DwadsWords by LarnT Morey; Music by Frank Churchill
March tempo
In Snou.r White and the Seuen Dwarfs,Walt Disney gave each of the dwarfs aname and specialpersonality haits that
went with it - something the dwarfs didn'tpossess in the Grimms' original fairy tale.The impish septet - Pe6, Happy, DoPeY,Grumpy, Sleepy, Sneenl and Bashful-manage to work, walk and do just about
everything in time with the music they singin the movie. "Heigh-Ho" inhoduces ourlittle friends as they head home to their
cottage after working in the mine. What asurprise is waiting for them there!

For Snou White, Walt Disney waspresented with one large Oscar and sevensmall ones, one for each of the dwarfs.This is one of the tunes the charming littleelves sing (and dance to) in the movie.Between verses, they yodel. (That's why itis also called "The Dwarfs' Yodel Song.")Outside, the birds and animals press beaksand noses against the cottage windows toget a better look. You might have,
too . . . to see a spectacle such as this.L i v e f y , i n 2 ( ) - - t b e a t )

Pinocchio (1940) was Walt Disney's second fullJength cartoon featureand his first to win an Oscar for its musical score. Based on a familiarchildren's tale, Pinocchio tells the story of a wooden puppet whograpples with the lure of evil pleasure as he tries to be good so that heian become a real boy. A fox named J. worthington Foulfellow sings"Hi-Diddle-Dee-Dee" as he tries to persuade Pinocchio to join a
P
marionette houpe. His lively song is most convincing'

Moderate ly in 2 (J= ' t beat)
saw him. Some children, however, understood Casperand his friendly ways and played with him. Do you thinkyou'd have a good time with Caspel - "f[s friendliestghost you've seen" - if he visited you?

In addition,through multitrack taping, the discfeatured two Pattis singing togetherand thus made Miss Page apioneer in modem recordingtechniques. The song was first
inhoduced on a children's album, andits popular appeal was instantly
spotted by disc jockeys. It was thenreleased as a single record and
stayed on the best-selling charts foreight weeks. A small dog in a shop
window is a hard thing for anyone toresist . . . especially if it has a
waggly tail.

oflwfltpl ofl ffirp| flfls ltY LlrTLt Doc (ont)This German folk tune was first published in Leipzig in 1847.There was no dog in the song then - it was called "Zu LauterbachHab' Ich Mein Strumpf Verloren" (At Lauterbach I Lost MySock). In 1864, American composer Septimus Winner, who alsowrote some CivilWar songs and created the lyrics for anotherold-fashioned favorite, "Listen to the Mocking Bird," bonowed thetune, wrote English words for it and called the result "Der
Deitcher's Dog." A dog that is hiding can be hard to find. Butsometimes big eyes and a wagging tail will give it away.

'T @AnfimaflFafrThis children's favorite is a 19th-century minstrel song. Minshelshows were the first uniquely American form of entertainment andlaid the foundations for the development of our American musical
theater. They featured white performers made up inblackface, and their material drew heavily from Negro
culture. Minshel shows, featuring such groups as TheChristy Minstrels, were popular from 1850 to 1870,
but the advent of vaudeville, followed bymovies and radio, brought an end to this formof entertainment. Minshel songs werefrequenfly nonsensical and full of fantasy. Manytell of animals in preposterous situations, as thissong does. The monk's fate was probably sad.

"The Fox," an American folk song, dates back to the timewhen the United States was a group of 13 British colonies -before independence from England and before GeorgeWashington became the first president. In old nurseryrhymes, the lady that is here called Mother Flipper-Flopper isalso known as "Widdle-Waddle," "Hipple-Hopple,""Chittle-Chattle" and "Slipper-Slopper." But whatever hername, she was not fast enough in alerting John, and the foxran off, taking the tasty gray goose back to his family for theirdinner. That fox reallv had a fine time in the town-o.

Old MacDonald's farm certainlv was anoisy place, what with all thoseanimals mooing, oinking, quackingand neighing. Each time youadd an animal, you shouldwork backward through theanimal sounds. Forexample, aftersinging "Here aquack, there aquack, ev'rywhere aquack-quack," goback and sing"With an oink-oink here and an
oink-oink there, lHere an oink, thereoink, ev'4ruhere an oink-oink,"followed by "With a moo-moo
here and a moo-moo there, IHere a moo, there a moo,
ev'rylwhere a moo-moo,"finally ending with "Old
MacDonald had afarm, lE-l-E-l-O."It's possible to sing
this old favorite allnight long if you
can think ofenoughanimals.

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv"l Love Little Pussy" is an old Mother Goose rhyme, which meansthat children have delighted in singing this song for at least severalhundred years. Kittens don't seem to have changed much over thecenturies. Children and pussycats are still natural companions.

There are no words to this song, but there areplenty of sound effects. You may not be able tohear much of the whistler with all that howlingand woofing going on. Try making the soundeffects. They're lots of fun. But what's thatmeow doing at the end of this piece? ArthurPryor, who wrote this tune, was the solohombone player in John Philip Sousa's bandback in the early 1900s. He eventually becamea well-known band director himself. If you everdecide to study the trombone, you'll soonbecome familiar with more of his compositions.

WMOE?SOMG CCRAFFBWords by Rube Goldberg; Music by Ruth Cleary Patterson
Rube Goldberg, who won a Puliber Pize in 1948 for his convoluted cartoonconhaptions in The New York Sun, wrote this song in 1951. Ruth Cleary Pattersonsupplied the tune. Despite the lyric's claim that giraffes have "no vocal cords," thelong-necked animals can make sounds (although they seldom do). Maybe giraffes justdon't have too much to say. . . unless, that is, they swallow a whistle.

The queen mentioned in this nursery tune is reported to be the greatEnglish queen, Elizabeth I, who lived in the late 1500s. The song
supposedly describes an incident that actually took place. But then, catshave been chasing mice under chairs for years and years, probablyfrightening the occupants of the chairs at least as much as the mice.

l rElla Fitzgerald, the greatjazzsinger, scored one of the biggest
hits of the Swing Era with her 1938 recording of 'A-Tisket
A-Tasket" - an American nurserv rhvme that datesback to 7879. During the 11 weeks that the song was" onThe Hit Parade,it held the No. 1 position for six
of them. This familiar children's game song hashad some Iancy jazzing up in this version by
Miss Fitzgerald and Van Alexander. Butthe music remains deceivingly cheerful
considering the fact that it's not muchfun to lose something you love.

Words by Sylvia Dee; Music by Sidney Lippman"Chickery Chick" provided bandleader Sammy Kaye ofSwing and Sway fame with a best-selling recording in 1945.Composers Sylvia Dee and Sidney Lippman based the song onanother tune, which began, "ln China once there was a man /Whose name was Chickery Chickery Chan." Despite itsseeming nonsense, "Chickery Chick" offers some good advice:When things get boring, hy something new. This creative chickcertainly said a mouthful of silly words. Can you sing them?

For all we know, there may have been a farmerwith a dog named "Bingo." If there was, heprobably came from Britain, because thatis wherethis song originated. Traditionally, children sing allthe letters in the name "Bingo" the first time. Thesecond time, they clap on the letter "B" and sing"I-N-G-O." The third time, they clap "B-1" andsing "N-G-O." This continues until all of the lettersare clapped rather than sung. Children have beenplaying this musical game for many years; maybesince 1780, when this song was first published.

Words and Music by Tom Glazer
Tom Glazer is a well-known American balladeer andfolksinger. He has performed on radio and television andplays concerts regularly. "On Top of Spaghetti" is amonghis bestloved recordings for children. This parody of theAmerican folk song "On Top of Old Smoky" seems tohave originated among schoolchildren in WestchesterCoun!, New York, where Glazer and his family live. Heheard a version of it from his own children, rewrote it andpublished the song in 1963. Who on earth could possiblymind having a spaghetti-and-meatball hee in the backyard?Try not to laugh too hard while singing.

This is a haditional song, frequentlysung by children at summer camp,about a person with an extraordinarilylong name. It's kind of fun to say thename, too. Children love to sing thissong as if it has no end. As soon as theyget to the last "dah," they headshaight back to the beginning and startagain. This goes on until they get tootired to continue singing or somegrownup nearby can stand nomore . . . whichever comes first.

This song, based on the cartoon character of the same name,was written for comedian Eddie Cantor (who certainly had"goo-goo-googly" eyes), but it was the vaudeville team ofOlsen and Johnson who made it a hit.

[-d--Words and Music by Howard Johnson, Billy Moll and Robert KingThe Howard Johnson who is credited as one of the writers of this song is not theHoward Johnson of the many ice-cream flavors. As a matter of fact, back int927, when this song was written, exotic-flavored ice creams were unknown,and one probably had to settle for vanilla, chocolate, shawbeny or maybe"sasparoola" (sarsaparilla). Johnson is best known for his popular spelling song"M-O-T-H-E-R, a word that means the world to me." For generations, childrenhave chanted "l scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream." Nobody
knows which came first, the song or the chant.

Leo V. Killion, who wortethe zany words of "The

song popular, in 1939. Itwas later heard in themovie Son Antonio Rose(1941), in which it wassung by the group calledThe Meny Macs (anotherof the song's composers,Ted McMichael, was oneof the Macs), and in FromHere to Etemity (1953).It's just about time for arevival of this catchy tune.

Fhherb @le Gre_g lVhiskers"Father's Old Grey Whiskers" was once a great favorite with college students. Itundoubtedly hails from the turn of the century, when group singing was a nationalpastime. It has an endless number of verses, seven of them included here. Back inthe early 1900s, when the song was popular, the older men were the ones withwhiskers. Today it is the younger men who sport them.

Words and Music by Saxie Dowell"Three Little Fishies" is a novelty song that waspopularized by Kay Kyser and His Orchesha in1941, when that band was riding high inpopularity as a result of the music-quiz radioprogmm called Kay Kyser's Kollege of MusicalKnowledge. The daffy little tune with its babytalk and nonsense words (a translation isprovided) was a jukebox favorite and sold overa million records. The song has been around along time, but you don't have to dust it off. Anamazing number of children know and love it.

This song was writtenfor Frances White, whoinhoduced it in theFlorenz Ziegleld revueMdnightFrolics wayback in 1916, and itwas used again twoyears later in a revuecalled Hitchy-Koo.The inspiration for thesong probably did
not result from thedifficulty of spelling
the name of the riverand the state, but
rather from the fun ofsaying "M-l-S-S-l-S-
S-I-P-P-I." As a resultof the song's
popularity, almosteverybody can spellMississippi correctly.

"l've Been Working on the Railroad," a work songprobably sung by the men who laid the countless miles ofhack that finally stretched from coast to coast, is actuallytwo songs shung together - the link being the nameDinah. (nsomeone's in the Kitchen with Dinah" is an oldminshel-show song.) In 1894 it was published as "Levee
Song," possibly because its catchy tune and rhythm weretaken up by men who worked along the river banks.

The authorship of the song "Clementine"
is rather cloudy. The words first werecredited to H. S. Thompson in 1863, andthen. 20 years later, Percy Montrose wasgiven credit for both the words and themusic. However, we should be thankfultowhoever is responsible for this nonsensicalsong about a gold miner's daughter. It hasprovided countless hours of enjoyment forcampers, schoolchildren and other folkswho have all loved singing about poorClementine, "lost and gone forever."

Joseph E. Winner. (Winner was the brother of SeptimusWinner, who wrote "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little DogGone?" and "Ten Little Indians.") Apparently the song hadbeen sung in different versions since early in the 19th century,and Winner only claimed that the "jug" was "put into shapeand filled up" by him. In 7939, Glenn Miller and His Orchestrarevived the song with such success that over a million records ofit were sold. It may not have been chocolate milk that Winnerput in the "jug," but children have always enjoyed singing thissong, especially the chorus - a great knee-bouncer for infants.

Hg,_H.g,Iils-a\hyWords and Music bv Huddie Ledbetter;Collected and adapted by John A. Lomax and Alan LomaxThis is probably the original version of the song as sung by thegreat blues singer Huddie ("Leadbelly") Ledbetter, and it isdoubtlessly autobiographical. There are many versions of thesong, most of which call for some action to be done on the "Ha, ha,this-a-way." You can add more verses and make up actions forthe chorus. ("When I was a cowboy, a cowboy, a cowboy" . . . witha bouncing cowboy "motion" on "Ha, ha, this-a-way.")

Collected and adaptedoq by John A. Lomax
I O and Alan Lomax,NAlthough credited to HuddieLedbetter, "The Grev Goose"probably dates back to ihe days ofslavery and represents the resiliencyof the Negro slave. No amount ofoppression could destroy him, for hepossessed the same toughness andspirit as the grey goose. Like so manyother songs, "The Grey Goose" wascollected by Library of Congress
Br igh t l y
folk-song archivist John A. Lomaxand his son Alan. The song was sungby black convicts in Texas, whoperformed it in call-and-responsefashion: one man sang the narrativeand the others responded with"Lord, Lord, Lord." If you can thinkof another way that the goose goteveryone's goat, try creating yourown verse for the song.

"She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain" is based on aNegro spiritual, "When the Chariot Comes." ln TheAmencan Songbog, author Carl Sandburg reports thatmountaineers sang the spiritual and turned it into this
joyful song. Then, railroad work gangs in the Midwestpicked it up in the 1890s. Whatever its origins, the songhas always been a great favorite. Sing it now, with newverses by arranger Dan Fox and his son Paul.

Li There are various well-known versions of this song, andall of them can be traced to England. One version ispossibly 400 years old. It is said that the frog refers to theDuke of Anjou (Anjou is an old French province) and themouse to Queen Elizabeth I. If this is so, it might explainthe reference to France in the last verse. This story song,popular since Colonial times, is fun to act out. All youneed are two friends willing to help play the parts.

Old DanfuchorAs you may have noticed, a few songs from minstrelshowsbecame so popular that they were sung nationally and, justlike folk songs, changed through oral hadition. One of thesesongs was "Old Dan Tucker," written by Dan Emmett, who,with three other entertainers, organized the first full-lengthminshel show. Emmett also wrote the song "Dixie." "Old
Dan Tucker" has been used as a square-dance song in NewEngland, a play-party in the Southwest and a popular banjotune just about everywhere. That Dan Tucker sure stirred
things up when he came to town!

g It is commonly thought that the womanon the horse referred to in this nurseryrhyme is either Queen Elizabeth I (shecertainly shows up in a number ofrhymes, doesn't she?) or the long-haired Lady Godiva. The "bells on hertoes" may refer to a 1Sth-century stylein which ladies sewed oells onto the toeof each shoe. The rocking rhythm of"Ride a Cock-Horse" seems to suggesta toy rocking horse rather than a realone. A rocking horse can't really takeyou too far, but your imaginationshould be able to take you anywhereyou want to go.ill0J ;\ t)0tj.1(-il0;l$I

[teThis old English singing game has nothing to do withthe animals called weasels. The "weasel" that goes"pop" may have been a tool used by English hatters,tailors and cobblers. When money was in shortsupply, they "popped," or pawned, their weasels.

"Marianne" is one of thebest-known calypso songsin the world. Thisadaptation from a WestIndian folk song waspopularized in 1957 byTerry Gilkyson and TheEasy Riders, who tumed itinto a million-seller
recording. Gilkyson wrotethe song with Frank Miller
and Richard Dehr (TheEasy Riders on the disc). It
has been suggested thatthe "sand" Marianne was
"sifting" was men. . .but, since she was so lovely
and admired by all, whocould possibly refrain from
singing her praises? Tryclapping a calypso beat
while performing thissaucy little song.

"Cockles and Mussels" is a picturesquedescription of a vendor from the 18thcentury calling her wares in the streets ofDublin, Ireland. She was selling shellfish:cockles and mussels that she had probablyharvested. North Americans are familiarwith mussels. Butcockles - small, clamlikemollusks - are found only in Europe andwere plentifulon the beaches near Dublin.Molly Malone's plaintive cry became wellknown outside her native country in the1950s, thanks in part to a recording by BurlIves. The actual callof such women as Mollymight have sounded a great deal like the"cockles and mussels" part of this song.

ivin kle,Twi n klc bi ttle Sta pThe tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" is probably known just abouteveryrwhere in the world. Its strains show up in the work of counfless composers.Mozart used it as the basis for a set of piano variations, and Hungarian composerEmo Dohnanyi also used it in Vanations on aNurserySong. Although rockets inspace are an everyday occurrence, is there anyone who has ever looked at thesummer sky all aglow with "twinkling" stars and not wondered about them?

Put ur L_*"lk,hgt",Right OutThis was a popular party dance for adults in the 1940s andhas now become a children's favorite. It began as a folkdance called the varsoviana, which might have originatedin Poland and been named for the citu of Warsaw. Polish
immigrants introduced it in North America, and the dancebecame well known in rural areas. Then, in 1939, LarrySpier wrote this popularization, and the varsovianaturned into "Put Your Little Foot Riqht Out."

Billy Boy (paqe 220) "Billy Boy" is probably a version of the well-known English ballad "Lord
Randal," although the words of that song are much more dramatic than these. It's fun to sing "Billy
Boy" as if it were a conversation. One child sings the questions and another, as Billy, the answers.
Little Bo-Peep (page 221) This is one of the most popular nursery rhymes of all, one of the groupknown as Mother Goose Rhymes. Like so many other rhymes, it originated in England and certainlydates from the 19th century, if it is not older than that. There was once a child's game called Bo-Peep.Could it be that the sheep in the rhyme are playing Bo-Peep or peek-a-boo with their owner?
Rock-a-Bye Baby (page 227) This lullaby originally began "Hush-a-bye baby." But then, in 1872,Effie Crockett, a relative of the famous Davy Crockett, wrote the music that we sing today and changedthe opening words. She was 15 at the time and was inspired while baby-sitting for a restless child.
Sing a Song of Sixpence (page 222) "Sing a Song of Sixpence" is a nursery rhyme rich in symbolism.Some say the king is Henry VIII; the queen, Henry's first wife, Catherine of Aragon; and the maid,Henry's second wife, Anne Boleyn (who lost her entire head, not just her nose). In any case, the songcould be based on fact. There is at least one ancient cookbook that contains a recipe for a pie in whichlive birds are enclosed and fly out when the pie is cut. Wouldn't you prefer apples or blueberries to birds?
Baa, Baa, Black Sheep (po4e 223) It has been suggested that the words of this very old rhyme point upthe class differences between the little boy and the master, probably the King of England. Did you noticethat the tune is like that of another song? It's "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" once again!
Jack and Jill (paSe 223) Although from the 15th century on the terms "Jack" and "Jill" came to mean"lad" and "lass," it is possible that the two characters in the original version of this song were both boys.A number of religious connotations and a great deal of inhigue have been read into the words, with theclimb to the top of a hill for water having special significance, the water in this case being holy water.Children are more inclined to take the words of the song literally and delight in acting them out.
Hot Cross Buns (poge 224) This is an old English sheet cry heard on Good Friday, when some peopleeat hot cross buns for brebkfast. Try playing the first two lines of this song on the piano or anotherinstrument. There are only three different notes in this part. A grownup can show children where to start.
Humpty Dumpty (poge 225) Some scholars think this rhyme is hundreds and hundreds of years old.Whatever its age, it is known in some version by most children in the Western Hemisphere. It's sofamiliar that people don't realize it's a riddle. For what is this Humpty Dumpty that cannot be puttogether again? It's an egg, of course.
Little Jack Horner (page 225) There probably was a realJack Homer. He lived in England at the timeof Henry VIII, and was a steward to a wealthy abbot. The story has it that his employer sent Jack to theKing with a gift "pie" containing the deeds to several large estates. Jack put in his thumb, pulled out adeed . . . and lived happily ever after on one of the estates.
Hey, Diddle, Diddle (page226) Although many "hidden" meanings have been found in the words ofthis rhyme (the cat supposedly represents Queen Elizabeth I), the only certain thing to be said about"Hny, Diddle, Diddle" is that it first appeared in print in an English publication of the late 18th centurycalled Mother Goose's Melody. The words are probably just nonsense that are fun to sing and act out.
Little Boy Blue (page 226) There is some disagreement about the identity of Little Boy Blue. Onetheory is that he was meant to be Cardinal Wolsey of England, who was the son of a butcher andprobably did look after sheep as a child. Whoever Boy Blue was, he obviously forsook his duties. Themoral of this rhyme is: Pay attention to the job at hand!
Little Miss Muffet (page 227) Thls is a very popular nursery rhyme . . . and a very scary one too. Doyou know what the words mean? "Curds and whey" are the solid and watery parts of milk when itseparates. And, according to the dictionary, a "tuffet" is a low seat or stool. Most important, it rhymeswith Muffet. Who's afraid of a cute little spider anyway?

There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe (page 227) Many nursery rhymes started as politicalsatires. In this one, for example, the "old woman" might have been the British Parliament ind her"children," the many colonies under British rule. Taken literally, a shoe seems an unlikely place tohouse so many children, and artists through the ages have had fun portraying this silly hoh-e. Childartists might also enjoy hying to draw a picture of it.
Oats, Peas, Beans and Barley Grow (page 228)The complete version of this song has led to the beliefthat it originally may have had a religious and symbolic meaning and been part of farmers' spring rites topromote the fertility of their fields.
Lazy Mary, Will You.Get Up? (page 228) This traditional children's song is sometimes played as agame in which the child who is playing the mother tempts the child who iJMary to get up. Sn" offerssuch things as "a slice of bread and a cup of tea," which dra* a negative r"rpor,.". ThEn she might offer"a nice young man with rosy cheeks," which elicits a positive "Yei, Mothe., I *ittget up." Toda"y, Maryis already up-and at work. She's an executive of a corporation.
Old King Cole (page 229) Although there were three English kings with this name, the one in this songis reported to be that King Cole who reigned in Britain in the 3rd century. He was obviously not onlymerry but a music lover as well. And that's surely a fine recommendation.

ffimtrgft More Nursery Rhymes, with Action! ffisFffiLondon Bridge (poge 230) Onthe first verse of this extremely old game song, two children stand opposite one anotherwhile the other partilipants walk between them, around behind them and between them again- On thesecond verse,the two childrenwho represent the bridge join one hand, making half an arch for the others to walk through. On the nextverse, they join both hinds. Finally, th-y drop both joined hands, "trapping" whichever child is between them at themoment. Rocking the child back and forth, they sing, "Take the key and lock her (him) up." Although London Bridgehas become famous for falling down, it actually stood sturdily over the Thames River in London for 600 years. Then, in1826, anew London Bridge was built to replate it. That bridge has since been replaced also, and in 1968 it was movedto the United States. Today it stands not in London but in Arizona.
Eensy, Weensy Spider (page 231) Children enjoy singing this song with a finger-play. By touching opposite indexfingeis and thumbi, children can pretend to walk the "Eensy, Weensy Spider" up a waterspout. The illushations withthe song on the following page show the rest of the actions.

wwwwThe Farmer in the Dell (page 232)To play this game song, a group of children pick a boy or girl to be the farmer andform a circle around him or her. They sing as they circle around, then stop while the farmer selects someone to be hiswife. The wife joins him in the center of the circle, and the selection process continues until the rat takes the cheese. Thenallof the children can run away except the cheese, or the children can begin a new set of verses, starting with "Thefarmer runs away" (back to the outer circle) unfil only th e cheeseis left. The chees" can be the farmer in the nlxt game. Ittakes quite- a few participants to play "The Farmer in the Dell." Try it at your next birthday party, or just sing it for fun witha group of your friends.
Hickory, Dickory, Dock (page 232) The clock in question in this rhyme was probably a large grandfather's clock andwhen it chimed it must have scared the poor little mouse. Pretend youi fingers are the mouse running up the clock. Thensee how-fast you can get them to run down when the clock strikes one o'clock. "Hickory, Dickory,bock" is one of theEoup of rhymes that were usually published together and called Mother Goose Rhymes.

Section 13Hffimruffi SongsThat GoRoundand Round
AtL ABOUT ROUNDS[oqnd9 are songs that are specially created so that various parts of the song can be sung simultaneously by different
individuals or groups with musically pleasant results.It is best to leam the song very well before trying to sing it as a round.A round can be sung in as many_parts as the music indicatls, but any round can be sung in just two parts if desired. In
the three rounds in this section ("Three Blind Mice," "Row, Row, Rbw Your Boat" and "Frere Jacques"), only twopeople are needed, but the more singers you have on each part, the easier it is to perform.. Decide how many times the round willbe sung through and issign the singers to each part. Each group starts from thebeginning of the song at the point in the musiC where the group;s numbe-r is indicateb. If your friends are expeienced singers, it is possible for eieryone to start and end a round at the same time. This is
lone by having one group start at the beginning while the others start precisely where their numbers are in the music.Each group continues singing to the end and gbes back to the beginning us 1nany times as desired. Then, on signat,everyone holds the last note of the phrase and stops singing at once. The effectis quite dramatic.

Gene Aufuy recorded "Frosty" in 1951, andthat cute little snowman did more than "dance
around." He took right off and sold more than." a million discs for Columbia Records. It's easy"*
to imagine a snowman coming to life, andfortunately for all of us, Frosty does just thatevery holiday season.

ffiWords and Music by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins
The same folks who brought you "Fros$ the Snow Man" created"Peter Cottontail," who, thanks to Gene Autry's recording, hoppedinto our lives in 1951 with great success. Ever since Beahix PotterwroteThe Tale of Peter Rabbit, Peter seems to be the fitting name fora bunny. If you see one "hippity hoppin' " on Easter Day, try calling
it "Peter." If you get no response, try a girl's name instead.Moderately

Yeor-Round Version
Look at Peter Cottontail,Hoppinr down the bunny t ra i l ,A rabbit of dist inction, so they say.Hers the k ing of BunnylandtCause h is eyes are sh iny, andHe can spot the wolf a mile away.When the others go for cloverAnd the big bad wolf appears,Hers the one thatrs watching over,Giv in t s ignals wi th h is ears.And thatrs why folks in Rabbit TownFeel so free when hers arounr;Peterrs helpin' someone evrry day.
Litt le Peter Cottontai l ,Hoppinr down the bunny trai l ,Happened to stop for carrots on the way.Something told him it was wrong;Farmer Jones might come along,And an awful price herd have to pay.But he knew his legs were faster,So he nibbled three or four,And he almost met disasterWhen he heard that shotgun roar.Oh, thatrs how Peter Cottontai l ,Hoppinr down the bunny t ra i l ,Lost his tai l but st i l l he got away.

There are many conjectures about the originof "Yankee Doodle." What seems closest tothe truth is that the tune is that of an lrish jigand the words are English. The British sang itduring the American Revolution to make funof the Continental Armv. but the colonistsloved the song and later took it as their own.
