Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: GUEST,Tweetssun Date: 15 Oct 11 - 11:59 PM We had that Petter Rabbit record when I was a child, I've been looking for it for several years now, especially since I have a child. I think he would love to hear it. |
Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: The Doctor Date: 16 Oct 11 - 06:16 AM To the various people who've expresses an interest in a copy, I have a website: www.peter-taylor-folksinger.co.uk. If you contact me through that with your details I'll make up some CDs. The trouble with this thread is that it keeps disappearing, and when it reappears I realise someone posted a month ago and I didn't spot it. |

Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: Dave Rado Date: 07 Feb 12 - 09:04 PM Does anyone know any of the lyrics from the other Vivian Leigh. Beatrix Potter records, e..g I used to love "Here's my sitting and thinking spot", from Mrs Tiggy Winkle. |
Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: Dave Rado Date: 07 Feb 12 - 09:18 PM Further to my last post, I've just seen chelseachick1905's link to the David Croft site, where you can play the full recordings of all the Vivian Leigh Beatrix Potter. But I can't make out one of the words in the recording of Here's my Sitting and Thinking Place. These are the lyrics with the word I can't make out denoted by question marks - any ideas? Here's my sitting and thinking place, Hidden at the bottom of the hill; Here I can wonder any time of day, Thinking of this and that, With the hen and the robin and the dear old cat. Here's my sitting and thinking place, Everything is beautifully still; No one to ???? all my thoughts away. They're welcome to have a chat, With the hen and the robin and the dear old cat. |
Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: Dave Rado Date: 07 Feb 12 - 09:20 PM Sorry I should have linked to the David Croft site - it's here . |

Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: GUEST Date: 18 Mar 12 - 07:44 PM I know these songs, but I'm sorry I don't know who wrote or performed them. I heard them on vinyl more than 30 years. I'd love to find the recording so I can play it for my children. What I wonder is, how do you know it? |
Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: GUEST Date: 20 Jul 12 - 01:30 AM I sang that song in my elementary school talent show, I can remember almost every word. Can't find it online anywhere. |
Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: GUEST Date: 20 Jul 12 - 01:36 AM Climbing up a tree, mommy said I shouldn't. I can do it here I go, whoops I fell and hurt my toe. Things sometimes happen when you do a don't. Chorus: Cuz when you do, do a don't.. like Peter Rabbit, it becomes a habit, when you do a don't cuz when you do, do a don't you may regret it, you won't forget it, when you do a don't. (or you think you hafta, you're sorry afta, don't you do a don't) Eating all the fudge, mommy said I couldn't. It taste good cuz it's so thick, oops my belly I feel sick. Things sometimes happen when you do a don't. Chorus: Open mommies drawers, mommy said I shouldn't, took me out right from my place, couldn't get it off my face. Things sometimes happen, when you do a don't. Chorus: Pull that doggies tale, mommy said I shouldn't. It got mad and snapped at me, then I went a climbed a tree, then I fell and hurt my toe, that's the way this story goes. Things sometimes happen when you do a don't. |

Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: GUEST,Strawberryx5 Date: 02 Nov 13 - 10:37 AM Oh....my....goodness, I listened to these stories and songs as a child & sung to my own children. I still have the vinyl but haven't been able to play for years. I am still singing the tiggy winkle cup of tea song every time I make one. I have been googling the wrong thing for years to no avail but today I tried song words & this thread popped up, I read comments and as I write this I am listening to these beautifully spoken & sung stories after downloading from iTunes after inputting Beatrix Potter/Vivien Leigh. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this info, I don't know why it means so much to me but it does & so few people had this so thought I was nuts!! Mayb I am but who cares I can listen to them again x |

Subject: RE: Does anyone know these Peter Rabbit songs? From: GUEST,Ginj Date: 24 Mar 19 - 04:39 PM Our Brownie troop performed this musical version for the Children's Guardian Home in 1965 or 1966.
