SKINNAMARINK
Chords (slash each line): G Gdim/G Gdim/ G Gdim D7/
copyright 1985 by Grand Trunk Music: Sharon Hampson, Lois Lillienstein, and Bram Morrison.
The tune is a bit like a sliding vaudeville version of "Tea For Two", lots of rocking back and forth, canes out for the "I (beat, beat) Love (beat, beat) You". It is somewhat infectious (sort of like Barney vs. the Elephant (there is an Elephant on S, L, and Bram)). There are hand movements I have never learned, and I have never even seen the programme! I learned it at a campsing. I just know that when it is played, graduates of S,L, and B. light up and go to work. Vaudeville is not dead, it lives in the children's hour. |

Don't forget the spider; he is WAY cool, sez the 4-year-old. Come clean Peter, we know you're a Elephant fan -- I'm sure I've seen your profile on the Frosted Flakes commercial. |

Skinnamarinky-doo! I LOVE YOU! I love you in the morning And I love you late at night. I love you in the evening When the moon is shining bright. Ooooh! Skinnamarinky-dinky-dink! Skinnamarinky-doo!

09 Jul 07 - 11:47 PM (#2098352) Subject: RE: Skinamarink From: emjay I always thought it was from the song The Beggarman as sung by Tommy Makem. The fourth verse in part: Over the road with my pack on my back, Over the fields with my great heavy sack, With holes in my shoes and my toes peeping through, Singing, "Skinny-ma-rink-a doodle-o and old Johnny Dhu." The note with the song to Tommy Makem's mother Sarah Makem, the book The Irish Songbook is copyright 1969. I have frequently heard the phrase quoted with this specific song cited as the source. MJ |

26 Jul 08 - 10:04 AM (#2398282) Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Skinnamarink (Sharon, Lois, & Bram) From: Alice Skinny Malink or Skinny Marink - from Scottish dialect, very thin person or animal. I was so thin, my mom called me a skinny marink my whole childhood. I thought it was a word her family made up. Quotes from the OED and other sources: Quote: <1892 "Twa SKINAMALINKS o' the genus horse."—'Brechin Advertiser' (Scotland), 6 September <1904 "Wee SKINA~MALINK craturs dottin' up the passages in U.F. kirks carryin' the books."—'Erchie, My Droll Friend' by H.
