Thread Name: Children's song c. 1862
Subject: RE: Children's song c. 1862
As an ex-member of a Junior Methodist Choir (I discovered alcohol before I was eligible for the Senior Choir), I can say that our favourite recreational songs were irreverent biblical digs, such as The Five Constipated Men, or There Were Three Jews From Jerusalem. Since no respectable young lady would sing these, I would suggest Aiken Drum, or I'll Buy You a Paper of Pins; En Passant Par La Lorraine, or Biquette, if you want a French one.
