Can anyone of you help me finding this song to download? I'd love to have it for my MP3-Player, but couldn't find it anywhere. You simple cannot sing it as often as required.....
I would greatly appreciate your help...

I'm sure those are the correct lyrics, but they aren't very well written to begin with and lend themselves to forgetfulness and circuitous thinking. I remember being confused by the all the carts and whether they should turn over or fall down or what. Nonetheless, I was looking for the ones I remember my mom singing, and I found them.

Thanks!

Best version imho was the Inez and Charlie Foxx version released in the sixties. To whoever said the song makes no sense, it is a lullaby with the singer hoping to lull a child to sleep with a promise of expensive gifts.
