I don't even know if this is the actual title of this song. It is from the 40s, I believe, and the only line I know for sure is "And they swam and they swam right over the dam". I need it for (of all things) a kindergarten graduation song.

Joe - Thanks for the links. Stairway.org looks really fascinating - bunches of kids'-oriented stuff there. I got all the lyrics and the movements as well. Should go over very well.

Thanks again!

Lynn
