Thread Name: Lyr Req: Playmates 'slide down my cellar door'
Subject: RE: Name: 'slide down my cellar door' (Playmate)
My mom taught it to me but she said;

"Shout down my rain barrel" (if you have a rain barrel, shout into it and you'll see what the "attraction" was,). I thought that my mother was singing about her house on Bradford avenue in Milwaukee since it had a rain barrel and a slanting cellar door (well I was four at the time) I remember being a little disapointed when I heard someone else sing it and realized my mother hadn't made it up!

Otherwise "my mom's song" is the same as Reta's.
