23 Jun 99 - 01:33 AM (#88934) Subject: Looking for kid song lyrics From: aaron@chusid.com I'm looking for a song I sang in elementary school. As best as I can tell it's called "Germs" or "Germs, My Invisible Dog". It's about a little invisible dog named, you guessed it, Germs. If anyone knows this song or knows where I could find the lyrics, please mail me at aaron@chusid.com to let me know. Thank you very much. |

If you could post that some time when you find it. Ask MMario if he'd like the music to make up an Midi file for mudcat. |

28 Oct 05 - 06:22 PM (#1592711) Subject: ATTENTION: AnneMC From: GUEST,A "Desperate Housewife & Mother" AnneMC, I am hoping that you will read this message. I am trying to locate a copy of the book "Germs My Invisible Dog" for my son's preschool teacher. She loaned it to me with much hesitation last Friday, and said she would have to retire if something ever happened to it. I borrowed it to copy the words of the song, as my 4 year old son LOVES it! Well, I am 99.9% sure I returned it to her the following Monday, as I did not want to be responsible for her retirement! She just told me the children are asking for the book, and she does not have it. Are you interested in selling your copy? If so, I would love to discuss the possibility with you. You may reach me at pncghent@comcast.net Thank you for you time and consideration! |

12 Oct 07 - 03:47 PM (#2169808) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Germs My Invisible Dog (Dottie Rambo) From: GUEST,Janet I learned it a little bit differently. The last verse was about taking Germs to school, not church. I take him to school but nobody ever sees This shaggy little spotted dog a-sittin' on my knees He's learning to read and he loves our happy songs But he often falls asleep when the teacher talks too long! I learned this one in school, so maybe that's why they changed it. Either way, I always wondered...how does the singer know Germs has spots, if he's invisible??? ;-) |

02 Dec 07 - 04:19 PM (#2207043) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Germs My Invisible Dog (Dottie Rambo) From: GUEST,It's on the radio! I grew up listening to this song on the radio. Our local christian radio station in Hagerstown MD had a Saturday Morning Show called God's Project and GERMS was always requested by kids who sent request for their birthdays. I think they still produce and broadcast the program on Saturday Mornings. Maybe even online now. The station is WCRH 90.5 . The radio station is affiliated with Cedar Ridge Childrens Home and School if you need to Google to find it. |
