Thread Name: What did your Dad used to sing?
Subject: RE: What did your Dad used to sing?
My Dad liked Paul Robeson, so he would sing songs from Robeson's repertoire, especially "Old Man River" and "Go Down Moses." Otherwise he would sing mostly pop songs, show tunes, and novelty songs like the one that goes "If you be M-I-N-E mine, I'll be T-H-I-N-E thine, and I'll L-O-V-E love you all the T-I-M-E time." I also remember him singing "Toot, Toot, Tootsie, Goodbye," "Bicycle Built for Two," "In the Good Old Summertime," and "Man on the Flying Trapeze."
