Barb et al-

My mother certainly learned it in the early 1930's, with her friends in Greenwich Village. For my brother and me, it was one of our favorite nursery songs. My father would always smile and chuckle as we would shrilly chorus, "Bomb, bomb, bomb!"

Our words were slightly different than what appears in Best and I think I posted them on another version of this thread.

Cheerily,
