Mama would you buy me a banana (from Tommy Sands - Down by Bendys Lane - lots of other good ones in there.

My 9yo *loves* Arthur McBride - his favorite party "Our whackin' shileliaghs came over their heads... and paid them right smart in the mornin!"

I did a couple years in church nursery school, and the favorites were things they knew (all the wrong words from Barney) like Twinkle Twinkle, etc.

Lots of great sea shanties - easy for kids because they have simple choruses.

And here's a trailing question...I heard a song on Radio Disney by a group, and they would take the first part of the nursery rhyme and then give it a twist "And threw it out the window, the window, they threw it out the window"...anyone know what group or song that is?

(e.g.) Mary had a little lamb Its fleece was white as snow And everywhere that mary went... She threw it out the window the window She threw it out the window ...etc.

Only heard it once about a year ago - but it was such a catchy tune and easy nursery rhyme twist that I sing it with my son to this day.
