I am searching for the lyrics to an old silly song. I think the title is "My Roof's Got a Hole In It." Some of the words are, "Oh no, don't let the rain come down, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown." Does anyone know the entire song or where I can obtain a recording? Thanks!

Oooooh - You have realy got me at it now! I can remember the song. One of the verses was the "There was a crooked man and he walked a crooked mile, found a crooked sixpence beside a crooked style etc etc" nursery rhyme. I suspect the other verses were similar. Definately released by a 'folky' type artist and had some measure of sucess here in the UK - dunno about the 'other side of the pond'. I'm away from work now for a couple of days so it will drive me nuts!

Good luck anyway

THANKS! We went to CDNOW.com and found it! There is even a RealPlayer recording! I ordered the CD, since it also had Beans in My Ears, the other song I couldn't remember. Funny, how these songs come back to haunt you, after sooooo many years. My 21 year old thought I was making these up! (He missed out on a lot of good stuff...) Thanks again, for your quick response--I had been trying to locate these songs for several years! Oh by the way, the recording is by the Serendipity Singers.

Thanks, Joe. You answered two questions with one post. Now we know where you are. And I have the lyrics to this for a children's group. Another job well done.
