and e	Origins: I Paula Taska Nonsense Song (Roud 12944) (40)	Kinkan Kolli Kolli Koll Nonsense Song (Roud 12944)	14 Jul 14
The dutch version I mentioned in the first post is actually in Swedish. I believe our song is in the book _Sångbok för Scouter_ [Songbook for Scouts] published in Stockholm in 1937. First line only: Kinkan kinkan kolli kolli vassa kinkan ka Compare that with the Swedish version of the song post by "soderbo" : Kinkan kolli kolli kolli kolli vassian kinkan koh vassian goh Kinkan kolli kolli kolli kolli vassian kinkan koh vassian goh Ila ilasiava ilasiava palamba Ila ilasiava ilasiava palamba Tjolafalla, tjolafalla Kinkan ... and so on "soderbo" traces this song to a 1905 Swedish book and believes that it is German / Latin in origin.
