GUEST,James Phillips Songs from Kids Shows, that you remember (123* d) RE: Songs from Kids Shows, that you remember 24 Mar 21


If it's songs from kid's TV shows you're after then look no further than the early 70's BBC show "Bagpuss," the music for which was folky and beautiful and written and performed by the great John Faulkner (Dolores Keane's ex) and the great Sandra Kerr: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhSp1I0HhFFd_rz45HZEDL4gbOf4QErO9

The Bony King of Nowhere

He sat upon his throne
He didn't much like sitting there
Because his throne was ...
His throne was made of stone
His throne was made of marble white
It's feet were made of gold
It was a royal throne alright
But oh dear it was ...
It was extremely cold
That skinny king of nowhere
Was feeling very chilly
He said to go on sitting there
Was really very ...
And also very chilly

He jumped on the tea table
And said please will you find
A seat thats soft and suitable
To warm a king's be-...
Just see what you can find
They fetched him up a hammock
But they couldnt keep it still
They put him on a rocking horse
The rocking made him ...
It made him very ill
They sat him on a wool sack
But that rubbed up his knees
They rolled him on a feather bed
But that just made him...
It simply made him sneeze
That poor old king of nowhere
Just sat there looking sad
He said if you could help me
I'd be very very...
Particularly glad
Two mice came up from somewhere
Behind their royal chum
They said dear king here is a thing
To warm the royal ...
And stop you feeling numb
The thing it was a cushion bright
Of silk and gold brocade
So square and soft and small and light
And very neatly...
Of silk and gold brocade
Now the happy king of nowhere
Is smiling on his throne
His smile is rosy, his seat is cozy
Although his throne is stone, is stone
The mice have made it nice, oh nice
He is a happy king
