It was a clean version of the Mermaid with the chorus 'the landlubbers lying down below, below below, and the landlubbers lying down below.' The version in the DT isn't exactly child matterial - well actually, it IS child material, it's just not PARENT material!

Marina? Back theme to Stingray....

What sort of genre are you after? There are plenty of shanties that could be sung by children - I remember singing 'What shall we do with the Drunken Sailor' and others when a child. One of them was about a mermaid, and can I remember it now? No. I will know it when I see it, but it's just popped out of my head.

There's always the Disney stuff - 'Under the sea' from Little Mermaid springs to mind.

The school library where I work is pulling out all the stops for a big display for Oz Children's Book Week in August. This year's theme is "Oceans of Stories" and I am trying to find songs that would tie in. So far I have thought of:
The Codfish Ball (sung by Shirley Temple in a movie in 1936)
Octopus's Garden )
Yellow Submarine ) both Beatles songs
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers
