At the end of how many folk tunes can "and the dish ran away with the spoon" be sung??

Hmmm...

I know of only one (click)

And I don't know a tune for it. I know tunes for lots of nursery rhymes, but not that one. Mom didn't teach me. Come to think of it, I can't remember my mom ever singing, so I wonder where I learned the tunes I do know.

My dad sang constantly, but I don't remember him singing nursery rhymes. Maybe my precocious little sister learned them and taught me.

Combines Hey Diddle Diddle with Old King Cole, nonsense and blues. Tolkien wrote "The Mnin the Moon Came Down Too Soon" and other bits around these songs as well.
