Thread Name: Lyr Req: Pease Porridge Hot (nursery rhyme)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Nursery Rhyme 'Peas Porridge'
In the version I learned when I was little, it did not have the same tune as "The Farmer in the Dell". It went, in solfa (scale is drmfsltDRMFSLT):

s.msl...
s.msD...
D.DRMRD.
R.M.R...
s.msl...
s.msD...
D.DRMRD.
R.M.D...

E. E. Cummings made up a nasty version, but I forbear.
