Thread Name: Origins: Today Is Monday
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Today Is Monday
My late husband used to sing this. He learned it in kindergarten in Seattle around 1920. I'm pretty sure each day was a plain food - no pizza, spaghetti, or ice cream, and I think they were:
- Monday, string beans (or hasenpfeffer?);
- Tuesday, hasenpfeffer (or string beans?);
- Wednesday, zoo-oop;
- Thursday, roast beef;
- Friday fi-ish;
(I don't remember Saturday or Sunday being included);
But all the verses ended:
- All you German mothers, we wish the same to you!
