For years and years and years I have hummed that song but only remembered the first two lines of the first verse! I have searched and searched and nobody had heard of it. 55 years ago when I was 18, I worked for a family as their housekeeper. They had four children and she sang it to her four kiddies. I learned it from her. Got married, had four babies of our own and I sang it to them, had grandchildren and sang it to them. One day I said to myself " wonder what would happen if I "Googled" bickety backety book!". Sure enough, here it is! My mouth is stll wide open with surprise and happiness. Thanks for helping me to hold on to some of my history. How valuable!
