manaman   10 #67 Posted April 15, 2009 Apparently I always used to be singing, "Lavender's blue dilly dilly, ? is green etc" when I was very young. What was the title of this song and who sang it (apart from me)?  Kids novelty songs that I can remember were; I taught I saw a puddy tat a cweeping up on me. Nellie the elephant. Sparky and his magic piano. Rudolph the red nose reindeer.  A singer who used to make me laugh was Jerry Colonna, with songs such as Ebb Tide and Velvet Glove. It didn't take much to keep me happy in those days:D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
crookes   10 #68 Posted April 16, 2009 Burl Ives - Lavender's blue (dilly dilly)  Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, Lavender's green When you are King, dilly dilly, I shall be Queen  Who told you so, dilly dilly, Who told you so? 'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly, That told me so  Call up your friends, dilly, dilly Set them to work Some to the plough, dilly dilly, Some to the fork  Some to the hay, dilly dilly, Some to thresh corn Whilst you and I, dilly dilly, Keep ourselves warm  Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, Lavender's green When you are King, dilly dilly, I shall be Queen  Who told you so, dilly dilly, Who told you so?

crookes   10 #69 Posted April 16, 2009 This is a favourite old song and in fact it's about as old as me - 'Red Ingle and the Unnatural Seven - Serutan Yob (Natures Boy)'. It's utterly stupid, btw.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2nlYK5HBqU  The same crew sang 'Cigareets,Whusky, and Wild, Wild, Women', which was a favourite of my grandfather.
