I went through first grade in a one room school. The song I've never forgotten was about a despot- though I didn't realize it at the time (this was 1941)- and it went: Once a Giant came a-wandering... It was great fun for a kid to sing. Memory says that the teacher taught it to me but I suspect that she taught it to the older children and I and Tommy, the other first grader, learned it at the same time. Ebbie
