I know the lyrics, but I need to find the basic melody for this tune, "M is for the many things she gave me, O is for......."
Any suggestion where I might find it?   Thanks so much!

This reminds me of a poem/song that was fairly well known in the 50/60's, about 'Mother' - I can't remember it all, but it had things like...

when I was a wee wee tot,
who took me from my nice warm cot
and placed me on that cold cold pot

Mother!

Anybody remmeber it?
