Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Come and Hear the German Band
Thanks for the information here. It's perfect. I was talking with
a friend of mine today about this song. I hadn't sang it in awhile
and I realized there were a few words I couldn't quite remember.

I learned this song in class when I was in fourth grade 42 years ago
in 1968 and it's continued to be one of my favorites. I am deaf but
can speak well and hear music well with my hearing aid. I came from a
musical family. I know people say how dumb or stupid it is, but isn't
that what it was meant to be, was a funny stupid song that you
couldn't forget? It was the music that comes with it that makes it
actually better than it seems.

I thank the people who found this song and also the music with it. Ah
such memories. :) It's a song I tried to teach my kids...but they
wouldn't have it. Now they're older, married with kids, they just
might. My deaf son though can learn it. He's six years old and in a
few years he'll be ready for it. Thought I'd share the experience
with everyone I had on this.
