Thread Name: Bible School songs
Subject: RE: Folklore: Bible School songs
Here's one I remember from Atlantic City New Jersey in the 1950s

B-I-B-L-E
That's the book for me.
The Bible teaches right from wrong
so B-I-B-L-E

[I remember singing this song as a young child while walking down the sidewalk with a partner in a procession of other children with some lady at the head of the line. This lady led my sisters, and me, and other children to her church's Vacation Bible School. I remember that lady encouring us to sing that verse again by saying "Once again, now!" at the end of the song's last line. That line has become part of the song for me.}
