Thread Name: Nonsense songs to dance tunes
Subject: RE: Nonsense songs to dance tunes
Looking at one or two of the longer lists, I remembered that we used to sing

1-2-3-4-5-6-7 / All good children go to heaven / Penny on the water, twopence on the sea / And threepence on the roundabout, so round go we

when we danced the "Italian Schottische" (I only found out it was called this a few years ago). John Tether used to also sing "I want to be near you" to a quadrille on his radio dance lessons during the '60s, and I found that my dad also knew this. Anyone know any more about these?
