Subject: RE: Help: Upbeat, cheery family folksong
Well, there are 14 of them. I'm looking for something for the younger ones, 10 and under.

I should make it clear that we are singing other folksongs. Finding music for the older kids was no problem; they're doing the ones about death, desertion, adultery, etc. And getting quite a kick out of it.

I was hoping to provide a little contrast by having the younger ones do something comic or just light and cheerful. There's just something too surreal about 5 and 6 year olds singing about a faithless seducer.

Thanks for asking
