The Elephant Show was the vehicle for Canadian folk trio Sharon, Lois and Bram. There was a fourth person on the show, Eric Nagler, who sang and played guitar and banjo and built home-made instruments, but I never saw/heard all four them perform at once. My kids loved them. We saw them in concert many times; i.e., we saw concerts by Sharon, Lois and Bram and we saw concerts by Eric Nagler. They toured separately, as I recall.

Remembering watching the ELEPHANT SHOW when my kids were little. There was a fine Bluegrass Quartet who introduced the show, two ladies and two gentlemen, who sang children's folk songs mostly with guitar and banjo.
Did they ever have an identity as a Main stream folk band or were they involved with other groups ?

Billy Bean built a machine to see what it could do.
He made it out of sticks and stones, and nuts and bolts and glue.
The motor sang Chuffaty Bang, Rattata Rattatarator,
And all of a sudden a picture appeared on the funny old cartoonerator
Billy Bean built a machine to see what it would do,
It did the funniest things he'd seen,
So he called it his funny machine, machine,
Billy Bean and his funny machine.

Billy Bean first aired in July 1953. If Billy wanted the machine to make something he would draw it on the screen. The machine then drew pictures to indicate what raw materials were required. When these were placed in the mixerator, levers pulled and buttons pressed the machine got to work with suitable mechanical sound effects.

Needless to say there were 'bugs' and the possibility of misunderstanding the graphical communication gave rise to considerable amusement. Some of the things the machine made were very surprising.

Yoo-Hoo, the stupid cuckoo bird, laid an egg at intervals, never more than one per programme, which rolled down a series of zig-zag channels on the machine.

If it's songs from kid's TV shows you're after then look no further than the early 70's BBC show "Bagpuss," the music for which was folky and beautiful and written and performed by the great John Faulkner (Dolores Keane's ex) and the great Sandra Kerr: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhSp1I0HhFFd_rz45HZEDL4gbOf4QErO9

The Bony King of Nowhere

He sat upon his throne
He didn't much like sitting there
Because his throne was ...
His throne was made of stone
His throne was made of marble white
It's feet were made of gold
It was a royal throne alright
But oh dear it was ...
It was extremely cold
That skinny king of nowhere
Was feeling very chilly
He said to go on sitting there
Was really very ...
And also very chilly

He jumped on the tea table
And said please will you find
A seat thats soft and suitable
To warm a king's be-...
Just see what you can find
They fetched him up a hammock
But they couldnt keep it still
They put him on a rocking horse
The rocking made him ...
It made him very ill
They sat him on a wool sack
But that rubbed up his knees
They rolled him on a feather bed
But that just made him...
It simply made him sneeze
That poor old king of nowhere
Just sat there looking sad
He said if you could help me
I'd be very very...
Particularly glad
Two mice came up from somewhere
Behind their royal chum
They said dear king here is a thing
To warm the royal ...
And stop you feeling numb
The thing it was a cushion bright
Of silk and gold brocade
So square and soft and small and light
And very neatly...
Of silk and gold brocade
Now the happy king of nowhere
Is smiling on his throne
His smile is rosy, his seat is cozy
Although his throne is stone, is stone
The mice have made it nice, oh nice
He is a happy king

I used to adore the song 'A Four-Legged Friend' sung by Roy Rogers. I don't think it was from any children's programme though. It was often on Uncle Mac's Children's Favourites on radio.

In the Philadelphia area when I was a kid there was a show called the Gene London show. For part of it Gene would tell a story while drawing it on a big pad of paper. He'd introduce the segment by singing:

Let's pretend that it's story time and I'll tell a tale to you,
I'll tell you a tale of make believe, and all your dreams will come true.
And when the story's over, and when we've reached the end,
We'll live happily ever after -- where?
In the land of "Let's Pretend."

I ate it up!

"happy birthday happy happy birthday this is your day to have a lot of fun"
This is part of the birthday song sung by Heck Harper on his afternoon kid show - was it Cartoon Corral? - which was out of Portland, OR in the 60's. The theme song was,
"Come a-runnin', bring your pal,
To the (new?big?) Cartoon Corral.
Clutch Cargo, Dick Tracy and Mister Magoo,
Felix and Popeye will be along, too...."
That's all I got; the last couple of lines or so are pretty fuzzy.

The birthday song went:
"Happy birthday, happy, Happy birthday,
This is your day to (or 'so') have a lot of fun.
Happy birthday, happy, Happy birthday,
This is your day, until the night is done.
Blow out the candles on your cake and make a wish,
And we'll serve everybody's favorite dish (Happy birthday, happy)
Happy birthday, happy, Happy birthday,
This is your day, so have a lot of fun"

White horses

On my horses let me ride away,
To a world that seems so far away,
Let me run, to the sun.
To a world my heart can understand,
It's a gentle warm and wonderland,
Far away, stars away,
Where the clouds are made of candyfloss and the days are long,
When the the stars are gone we'll race to meet the dawn,

(Dont remember this line)

Of a sad and very lonely day that's when I softly sigh,
On my horses snowy, white horses let me ride away.

Roughly that is what I remember, I would be grateful to have the right lyrics for that song. The singer also did 'Rupert the Bear'.

Help! Does anybody remember a birthday song from the late 60's or early 70's that was on an album by perhaps Sesame Street or Captain Kangaroo w/lyrics like this.."your one year older, almost grown up now" & "So, have a happy birthday, in each & every way, and may your birthday wishes all come true...Wer'e glad that it's your birthday and we would just like to say....a very happy birthday to you".. or maybe this lyric.."there's no other day exactly like a birthday"...My kid sister loved this song & we can't remember the artist or name of the song.

Another from Sesame Street - not sure why the whole thing is still in my brain

It is I, Captain Vegetable, with my carrot and my celery
Eating crunchy vegetables is good for me
And they're good for you so eat them too
For teeth so strong your whole life long
Eat celery and carrots by the bunch
Hooray for me Captain Vegetable, crunch, crunch, crunch

My kids loved that song, although continued to despise vegetables

F-O-X spells Fox
B-O-X spells Box
F-O-X and B-O-X means there's a FOX in the BOX

B-U-G spells Bug
R-U-G spells Rug
B-U-G and R-U-G means there's a BUG on the RUG

I'm going back to Sesame Street, here. This is one of my favorite songs, written by the Late, Great, Joe Raposo for the first season, back in 1969:


Sing
Sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
Sing of good things, not bad
Sing of happy, not sad

Sing
Sing a song
Make it simple
To last your whole life long
Don't worry that it's not good enough
For anyone else to hear
Just sing --
Sing a song.

And then, there's the classic written by David Axlerod and Sam Pottle (1974) that could be Mudcat's theme song:

(link to a YouTube video, from the Sesame Street Channel):

La-di-da-di-dum, la-di-da-dum...
What's the name of that song?
It goes la-di-da-di-dum, la-di-da-di-dum...
Something, something "Birds,"
La-di-da-dum, la-di-da-di--

Expanding on what PHJim wrote on 26 Oct 09 - 12:00 PM,

I'm Tom Terrific,
greatest hero ever.
Terrific is the name for me,
'cause I'm so clever.
I can be what I want to* be,
and if you'd like to see,
follow, just follow me!
If you see a plane up high ...
a diesel train go roaring by ...
a bumble bee ... or a tree ...
it's me!
When there is trouble,
I'm there on the double.
From the Atlantic to Pacific,
they know Tom Terrific!

*I think "want to" was actually pronounced something like "wanna".

I have to say my love for folk music started with Tony Saletan in the early 60s. (I'm not sure if that's the way his name was spelled) who was with WGBH. He'd sing Pick a Bale of Cotton with his guitar and glasses. I loved his show when I was 4 and 5; picked up a record of his of Revolutionary Songs in the 70s.

I also remember the Gentle Giant and fell in love with Early One Morning... just played on the harp while the "giant" pulled out a tiny dollhouse chair and invited tykes like me to sit down. I don't remember anything about the show... but I LOVED that song.

Actually, the Spiderman song abive is missing a whole verse. Here is the whole thing along with one of my faves, Super Chicken!

Rob K

PS OK, I'm two and a half years late but better late than never.

    Spiderman, Spiderman,
    Does whatever a spider can
    Spins a web, any size,
    Catches thieves just like flies
    Look Out!
    Here comes the Spiderman.
      
    Is he strong?
    Listen bud,
    He's got radioactive blood.
    Can he swing from a thread
    Take a look overhead
    Hey, there
    There goes the Spiderman.
      
    In the chill of night
    At the scene of a crime
    Like a streak of light
    He arrives just in time.
      
    Spiderman, Spiderman
    Friendly neighborhood Spiderman
    Wealth and fame
    He's ingnored
    Action is his reward.

    To him, life is a great big bang up
    Whenever there's a hang up
    You'll find the Spider man.

Back to Top

Super Chicken

    When you find youself in danger,
    When you're threatened by a stranger,
    When it looks like you will take a lickin', (puk, puk, puk)
    There is someone waiting,
    Who will hurry up and rescue you,
    Just Call for Super Chicken! (puk, ack!)
      
    Fred, if you're afraid you'll have to overlook it,
    Besides you knew the job was dangerous when you took it (puk, ack!)
      
    He will drink his super sauce
    And throw the bad guys for a loss
    And he will bring them in alive and kickin' (puk, puk, puk)
    There is one thing you should learn
    When there is no one else to turn to
    Call for Super Chicken! (puk, puk, puk)
    Call for Super Chicken! (puk, ack!)

I can't believe I actually remember all the words to this:

Little Lulu, Little Lulu
With freckles on your chin
Always in & out of trouble
But mostly always in
Using Daddy's necktie
For the tail of your kite
Using Mommy's lipstick
For the letters you write

Though the clock says half past seven
It's really after ten
Looks like Lulu's been preparing[?] it again
Though you're wilder than a Zulu
And just as hard to tame
Little Lulu I love you-lu just the same
The same
Little Lulu I love you-lu just the same


You want old? How about this - I can remember the address you had to write to in order to send away for a Winky-Dink magic shield (made of greeny cling-plastic) so you could draw on your TV screen without your mom killing you:

Winky Dink
Box 5

When criminals in this world appear
and break the laws that they should fear
and frighten all who see or hear
The cry goes up both far and near
for Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!

When in this world the headlines read
of those whose hearts are filled with greed
who rob and steal from those who need
To right this wrong with blinding speed
goes Underdog! Underdog! Underdog! Underdog!

Speed of lightning, roar of thunder
fighting all who rob or plunder
Underdog. Underdog!

"The Herbs" was a favourite.Everyone had their own song.My favourite was:

I'm Bayleaf, I'm the gardener,
I work from early dawn.
You'll find me sweeping up the leaves
And tidyin' the lawn.

A bit more of the Pinky Lee song:

Ho ho, hee hee,
My name is Pinky Lee
I skip and run
Mean lots of fun
To every he and she
It's plain to see
That you can tell it's me
By my checkered hat and checkered coat
My silly walk like a billy goat...
(I don't know how it ends)

God I'm old!

Hey, it's me
My name is Pinkie Lee...



Winky Dink and you
Winky Dink and me
We will have a lot of fun together.
Winky Dink and you
Winky Dink and me
We'll be friends
Through sun and stormy weather.

And for the Disney set:

      SHOW NAME?

Gold doubloons and pieces of eight
Handed down to Applegate
The chest is here
BUT WAIT!
Where are those gold doubloons
And pieces of eight, pieces of eight, pieces of eight.


   SPIN and MARTY

Way out west on the Triple R
Yipeeyay Yipeeyo
The horses are the best by far
Yipeeyay Yippeeyo

Mickey Mouse Club:

Special Guest Day: "Today is (Tuesday???), you know what that means - we're gonna have a special guest!..."

At the end of Special Guest day, they'd present the Guest with a spangled sort of glittery Mickey Mouse hat and sing: "Here's your hat, here's your ears, you're an honorary Mouseketeeeeeeeerrrrr!!!!!"

Talent Round-up day: "Saddle your ponies, here we go, down to the talent rodeo.....something something something... Join the Talent Round-Up! Round 'em up! (Round 'em up!) Bring 'em in! (Bring 'em in!) Everybody's sure to win... Something something something.... Oh, what a rodeo! .... something something...Bring along Susie, Jack, and Joe, join the Talent Round-Up!"

Encyclopedia song: "Get the EN-cyclopedia, E N C Y C L O P E D I A (repeat) Just look inside this book and you will see From Africa all the way to Z..."(at which point a picture of a zebra in the encyclopedia would kick Jiminy Cricket)

Somebody mentioned Sheriff John, a Los Angeles kid show. Beside the birthday song, his theme song was:

Laugh and be happy
And the world will laugh with you.
When people see you're happy,
Then they'll be happy too.
So wear a smile, and in a while
Your cares will go away.
So laugh and be happy
All the livelong day.

Words to live by even 50 years later.

John

And there's more ..
Marina, Aqua Marina,
What are these strange enchantments that start whenever you're near?

Marina, Aqua Marina,
Why can't you whisper the words my heart is longing to hear?


Your magic to me, a beautiful mystery.
I'm certain to fall I know, because you enthrall me so.

Marina, Aqua Marina,
Why don't you say, that you'll always stay, close to my heart.

In my opinion Troy Tempest was just wasting his time with Marina - it was a relationship going nowhere! Atlanta was clearly the girl for him - 45 years later I still feel the injustice.

I wish I was a spaceman,the fastest guy alive.
I'd fly you round the universe in Fireball XL5.
Way out in space together,conquerors of the skies.
My heart would be a fireball,a fireball.

Every time I gaze into your starry eyes.

We’d take a path to Jupiter and maybe very soon.
We’d cruise along the Milky Way and land upon the Moon.
To a wonderland of stardust.
We’ll zoom our way to Mars.

My heart would be a fireball, a fireball.

And you would be my Venus of the stars.


Ay thang yew
