Mom left when I was 3 or so, so Daddy raised me. He couldn't carry a tune, but we didn't have a radio in the old truck, so he sang. I remember

"Skinny marink a dink a dink, Skinny marink a doo I love you (boomp boomp) (he always added that) I love you in the morning and I love you in the night I love you in the evening when the stars are shining bright, Oh, skinny marink a dink a dink, Skinny marink a doo I love YOU!"

I sing it to my daughter, along with "Bill Grogan's Goat" and the Billboard song. When I finally learned Christmas carols, I sang them with and to him - Christmas carols all year round. I'd sure love to have him "harmonizing" on "Little Town of Bethelehem" again.
