20 Jan 16 - 10:07 AM (#3766930) Subject: Lyr Req: Samantha the Panther From: Mo the caller I know it's not a folk song, but Mudcat seems good for those half remembered songs from childhood (or in this case parenthood). 45 years ago when I had young children there was a song on Listen with Mother. About a panther who wanted to know what day it was because it was her birthday on Friday. She run through the jungle asking until someone told her. I can only remember snatches and the last verse. Samantha the Panther was having a beautiful dream ...... ...... It's my birthday on Friday, I wonder what day this can be (something about asking a bird who replied ... 'it was ..day I know when I flew over France/ tomorrow is ..day now leave me in peace/ I promised my friends I would meet them in Greece') Samantha the Panther was happy she'd found out at last She felt very tired because she'd been running so fast So after a long drink of milk from a coconut cu-u-up She went back to sleep, it was Saturday when she woke up. I'd forgotten that bird verse until I started typing. My grandchildren now play with the knitted feline called Samantha (which has stripes and spots and a wasp waist from childish hands) |

Stretched out in the sun where I am I can peacefully laze I can’t think of any way better for passing the days" Samantha the panther was having a (wonderful/beautiful) dream She dreamt of a party and cakes that were covered in cream (...?) she woke up with a jump and she said, "goodness me, my birthday's on Friday, I wonder what day this can be?" (or was it on Thursday and she overslept by an extra day?) Samantha the panther ... ... asked a blue bird ... "T'was Monday, I know, when I flew over France, ... It’s Thursday tomorrow, now leave me in peace I promised my friends I would meet them in Nice (Greece?)" Samantha the panther was happy, she’d found out at last She felt very tired because she’d been running so fast And after a long drink of milk from a coconut cup She went back to sleep…. It was Saturday when she woke up! |

Samantha the panther with cucumber wings, Sadly she cried they wouldn't do anything. With endless devotion, she fearlessly tried, To swim through the ocean and glide through the skies. I know he changed it a bit but please could someone point me in the right direction to the full song please. Sam |
