Subject: Lyr Req: A Children's song from the 70s From: GG Date: 15 Sep 08 - 11:13 PM Hey! Back in the 70s we used to sing a song that went something like... A Chinese boy came knocking on my door, um hmmmm, um hmmmm A Chinese boy came knocking on my door, --- ---- ---- ---- --- --- --- Um hmmmm, um hmmmmm, um hmmm, um hmmm. The dashes are the parts I don't remember! It was stuff like going to get a cake and "he made a mistake and kissed a snake, um hmmm, etc." There were several verses. Does anyone out there remember this song? I'd love to have the lyrics again! |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: A Children's song from the 70s From: Melissa Date: 15 Sep 08 - 11:25 PM Is it a cross between "Froggy Went a Courtin'" and "Cinderella, dressed in yellow"? Or is it closer to "not last night but the night before, twenty four robbers came knocking at my door..went upstairs to get my gun, made a mistake and shot my son"? |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: A Children's song from the 70s From: GG Date: 16 Sep 08 - 11:14 PM I know it was a song because I remember singing it! I wish I could give you the tune on here since I do remember that part. The 24 robbers doesn't sound familiar. Seems like one verse had something to do with going to town and ending up in a gown. How I wish I'd written the words down long ago. I'd love to teach this song to my kids. We had such fun singing it. I keep hoping that someone will find my request and send me the words. |
