Subject: RE: Tune Req: TUNE(?): 1234567, All Good Children...
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
All good children go to heaven.
When you get there, God will say
"Where's that book you stole away?"
If you say, "I don't know"
He will send you down below
Where everything is red hot peppers!       (* Calls fast turning *)

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
All good children go to heaven.
When you get there, the angels say
"{schoolname} children, right this way."   (* Name your school *)

The "book you stole away" is part of a "don't steal this book"
admonition sometimes written in the front of a book so that people
will not take it.
