Teddy--

Before the "We'll all have chicken & dumplings" verse should come, "We will kill the old red rooster."

Somebody talked about ad-lib lines; I recently heard the line "She'll be drivin' six white horses when she comes" followed each time by "Whoa, Buck!" That just sort of emerged from the audience, from a young lady whose father always did that.

If you have a partner, "When the Saints Go Marching In" can be made to work as a countermelody.

Luck, C.C.
