Thread Name: Aussie Childrens' School Song origin?
Subject: RE: Aussie Childrens' School Song origin?
IanC, Thanks that sounds interesting. "The Seven Steps" was sung by us to the tune of "Incey Wincey Spider" or "Sweetly Sings the Donkey" with a B part that went: G G A A G F F F F G G F E E G G(one octave lower) C These are just the accented notes.
I just found mention of this dance/game on a Western Australian website. It is a fitness program for kids. They don't give the tune so I assume that teachers still know it here in Australia. The internet is no help. Joy
