Thread Name: Lyr Req: Little Man, You've Had a Busy Day
Subject: RE: Little Man you've had a busy day
I have a CD with a 1999 copyright date called "Vintage Children's Favourites" with "Living Era" or "25 Original Mono Recordings from 1926-1950" possibly parts of the title. ASV Ltd., of England, seems to be the publisher.

Other numeric info on the case says:

CD AJA 5274 and LC 07967

It does show up at CDNow (As of today) but without the "u" in Favourites.

The CD includes the Robeson version of "Little Man", also "The Laughing Policeman" by Charles Penrose
"The Prune Song"; Frank Crumit
"The Wedding of the Painted Doll" Layton and Johnstone
"Barnacle Bill the Sailor" Frank Luther & Carson Robison
"The Runaway Train" Vernon Dalhart
"The Teddy Bears' Picnic" Henry Hall
"Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf" also by Hall
"Grandfather's Clock" Harold Williams
"I'm Popeye the Sailorman" Billy Costello
"Ragtime Cowboy Joe" the Hill Billies
"The Owl and the Pussycat" Stuart Robertson
"Heigh-Ho" The seven dwarfs
"Balloons" The Ovaltines and Monte Rey
"The Dickey Bird Hop" Gracie Fields
"The Bee Song" Arthur Askey
"Three Little Fishes" Maurice Denham
"We're Off to See the Wizard" The Ken Darby Singers
"Run Rabbit Run" Flanagan and Allen
"Christopher Robin at Buckingham Palace" Ann Stephens
"Swinging on a Star" Bing Crosby
"The Woody Woodpecker Song" Danny Kaye & The Andrews Sisters
"The Thing" Phil Harris
"Tubby the Tuba" Danny Kaye
"Goodnight, Children, Everywhere" Vera Lynn


(Actually, I typed all that so forum searches can find it in case anyone else is looking for old children's songs...)
