Subject: RE: Songs we were made to sing in school...
That's the one, KT. Of course we did "I'm a Little Teapot" and "Itsy-Bitsy Spider" in Kindergarten.

Poor Mr. Barrett, who taught Phys Ed, was known far and wide as Mr. Bare Ass.

We also sang at home and while riding in the car. THOSE were better songs:

Ach, du Lieber Augustine
Red River Valley
Du, Du Liegst Mir Im Herzen (sorry if I'm butchering the German)
Clementine
Down in the Valley
On Top of Old Smokey
Sailing Down the River
Shine on, Harvest Moon
Billy Boy
She'll be comin' round the mountain
Frere Jacques
Sur la pont, d'Avignon

and lots of others.

Still, there was nothin' like a good funeral!
