Hello Doctor! I had that record too when my family lived in England many years ago, I'm from Mexico, the record got lost, I'd love to have a copy of it if possible. I've got a twitter account if it helps making contact @Cri_kee

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.

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.

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.

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.

Not clear, is it? It sounds as if it could be No-one to frighten all my thoughts away

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?

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.

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

Pull that doggie's tail
Mommy said I shouldn't
It got mad and snapped at me
I got scared and climbed a tree

Eating all the fudge
Mommy said I should't
It's so good 'cause it's so thick
Ooops my belly, I feel sick

Go in Mommy's purse
Mommy said I shouldn't
Got the lipstick out the case
Couldn't get it off my face

Pull that doggie's tail
Mommy said I shouldn't
It got mad and snapped at me
I got scared and climbed a tree
Then I feel and hurt my toe
That's the way the story goes

CHORUS:
Things sometimes happen when you do a don't
So, when you do do a don't
Like Peter Rabbit
It becomes a happen when you don't a don't
So when you do do a don't
You won't forget it
You'll soon regret it
Don't you do a don't

I would love a cassette tape / cd or way of downloading the songs from Peter Rabbit...I'm trying to arrange a surprise for my younger sister, as we used to listen to these in the 1970s & I would sing all the songs for her...she needs cheering up & would absolutely LOVE to have this again!

If anyone could help make her dream come true,that would be incredible

Many thanks!

I found the 45 and converted it to digital. It is the "When you do a don't song" and "The Story of Peter Rabbit"

If you's like a digital download email me with "When you do a don't" in the subject line and I will email a digital download!

Our Brownie troop performed this musical version for the Children's Guardian Home in 1965 or 1966. My mother arranged the piano accompaniment. I'm glad to discover that these songs are not figments of my imagination.
