Dani, thanks a lot for the info. It is truly pathetic the kind of miserable to nonexistent selection of folk music that is available in all our record stores here in Denver. But I never heard of a Brainy Zany, and we don't have any toy stores out here except Toys R Us, which has just been taken over by the Baby Superstore (which I am fond of calling the Baby SS). I guess you've got to live somewhere with a little bit of culture, like the Twin Cities, where I grew up, to have this kind of stuff available (that's where the one tape I have came from)--that is, if they haven't entirely ruined it yet with abominations like the acursed Mall of America. But I digress away from lovingkindness. My apologies to all.

Shula, the kid referred to in that ditty (which, I believe, was actually on the pop music charts at some point in the late forties or early fifties) is a baby goat, not a human child! But maybe you were joking about kids eating ivy &c.
