Wherever it came from its brought a lot of happiness to my children, and now theirs, l heard my four year old granddaughter trying to teach it to her two year old cousin, my grandson. It was hilarious!
I remember that one and I grew up in Norfolk till I was 13
My dad in law used to make up his own nursery rhymes, all slightly rude. Now we are teaching them to the younger generations, I wonder if one day in the future if people will be saying "Now where did that rhyme come from" It`s a thought.
Morning all, I am meant to be working and instead I decided to sneak a peak at what you were up to, one of my co-workers has since walked by my office to see me sitting giggling like a schoolgirl. Thank you soooo much, it was just the tonic I needed today. I thank my stars I stumbled upon this site, I can honestly say you crack me up.
I will have to have a peep in later to see what other rhymes you come up with, I havn't heard these in years...Susan
I used to say this rhyme to my kids when they were babies & I would love to know the origins of it. I would say it whilst tickling their toes:-
Tom Thumper
Bill Milker
Long Lacer
Cherry Bumper
And a little Tippy Townsend that lives right there!
Each line would be said for each toe, running up to the armpit on the last line. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the rhyme, any help to find out where it came from would be great!
This is a clapping song...I played it in primary school more than 40 years ago, amazing how I can remember it when I forget so much that's happened far more recently.
Lulu had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
When Lulu went to heaven
The steamboat went to
Hello operator
Please give me number nine
And if you disconnect me
I'll kick you up behind.... the iron curtain
There was a piece of glass
When Lulu sat upon it
She hurt her little
Assssk me no more questions
I'll tell you no more lies!
And that's the end of Lulu
And all her steamboat lie lie lies!
Anybody else got more to share?
This is one is from my kids when they were in the junior school,I have no idea where they got it from.
Thanks for these, having a bad day and these rhymes have cheered me up! I don,t know any of them except the man on the stairs., but then I,m only a southerner, as my husband keeps reminding me! Being very old, i remember my father used to have a rhyme about a mugwump, put a bit of salt on his tail and take him to the lord mayor,s show. Apparently an old music hall song. My favourite, is a sea shanty .. There was a little drummer and he loved a one eyed cook, and he loved her, oh he loved her though she had a cross eyed look, with her one eye in the pot and the other up the chimney, tra la la! apologies, there was no pc in those days!
I was singing the drummer and the cookie to my grandchildren last weekend!! That's a huge coincidence
Its in my mums old songbook, apparently her family used to gather together and sing, to her fathers accompaniment on the organ. There were twelve of them, so they must have been quite a choir!
Hi, that,s amazing, I hadn't,t heard it since I was a kid when we had a record of it, then about 6 years ago I found it in an old songbook someone gave me, apparently it's a capstain winding song. Small world!
my dad used to sing the Pig song, all I can remember of it is "the pig got up and slowly walked away" Its about a heavy drinker who pigs wouldn't even associate with! I'd love to get hold of that, its from the same era..anyone?
Hi, I am Brummie to and my Dad who is died many years ago taught me the following
The trees were whistling gailey the birds were in full bloom. I went down in the cellar to clean the upstairs room, I saw ten thousand miles away a house just out of site with walls that were black washed white. Enjoy your day if you are able, Hugs xx
