Stan Kelly, in London, 1957, sang: We live in the attic and we pay no rent And it's all very kind of Jesus. (Complete song) Gwynne Gardner, who works for us at Folk-Legacy, made up this parody (with her sister's help) back in the 1950s when they were both kids. You young 'uns probably know the melody, but I only know it as "Ta ra ra boom de-ay." Anyway, here's their song: It's Howdy Doody time The show ain't worth a dime And as for Uncle Bob, He does a lousy job. And as for Howdy Doody, He is a tootie fruitie. It is a crummy show, Let's let them know.... pfffft! (Bronx cheer) A fifth grader in Waterbury, Connecticut, gave us this re-write of the Mickey Mouse song about 20 years ago: Melvin Moose, Melvin Moose, Forever let us hold our antlers high. Come along and hanve some fun And eat some grass with me. M-E-L - V-I-N - M-O-O-S-E!
