Thread Name: Lyr Req: Wal, I Swan / Giddyap Napoleon (B H Burt)
Subject: RE: Gitty Up Napoleon
My Dad who was born in DE in 1898, sang a sanitized version of this song to me when I was a little boy in the 1940's. Is there a children's version of it or do you think he made it up.

Can't recall exactly but it went something like;

Gitty up Napolio
Looks like rainio
All in the barn yard come this way.

My son Joshuay went to Philadelphiay
Smokin cigarettes as young folks do
Well I'll be switched if the the hay ain't pitched

Regards,

Jack
