If yer gonna stoop to more modern stuff ya gotta try "Marvelous Toy" by Tom Paxton; the kids always love it, 'n ya kin ham it up on the choruses somethin' shameful! Just fantastic fun. Also, tho it's not really cheerful, 'n has technical errors, (such as including Dimetrodon, aquatic & flying reptiles in as though they were dinosaurs!!), it's great fun 'n kids love it. 'N ya kin always do one of my favorites - "Coulter's Candy," which does likely come from the last century, (Coulter, 'n his candy, were real.)

Cheers, BK

ps. Somewhere I have a set of words for "Coulters Candy" in fairly plain English, if the heavy dialect in some versions (all the ones I used to hear!) is a problem. Just let me know.
