INTRODUCTION I I lhen you come right down to it, childrentoday VV really aren't much differentfrom the way their parentsor grandparentswere when they were children.Toyshave changed(tin soldierswould probably refuseto fight in today'sintergalacticstar wars), computersreplacetextbooks,and six-year-oldsuse words that adultsnever heard before. But basically,kids are still kids. . . still sharingthe specialjoys of childhood that we older folk rememberfrom 20 or 30 or 50 or more yearsago. One of those specialjoys is music. And although bespangled rock-and-rollsingers may be the children's idolsof the moment,the nurseryrhymes,nonsensical noveltiesand folk and holiday songs that delighted older generationsalso appeal to the newestgenerations- this year,next year and in the yearsto come. In compilingthe songsfor this book, we reviewed personalandfamilyfavorites,old and new, lookingfor classicsthat adults and children- from toddlersto - could share. We read through and reteenagers memberedMother Goose and other nurseryrhymes from long ago and far away. With guitarin hand, we sangold folk songsand folk songsthat originatedduring the revivalof the 1950sand '60s. . . from "Clementine"to "This Land Is Your Land" . . . all of them havingthe same honesty,simplicityand charm. We chuckledat the nonsensesongsthat were popularhits with adults in less "sophisticated"times, songs like "Barney Google" and "MairzyDoats." Children,too, lovedthemthen,and stillwilltoday.We selectedsongs from favoritemovies,showsand cartoons,and some of the fine tunes from Sesome Streetand The Muppets.And we skipped our way through party dances suchas "The Alley Cat" and "The Bunny Hop." And thentherewerethe teachingsongs. . . and the rounds . . . and holiday songslike "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and everybody's once-a-year favorite, "Happy Birthdayto You." It was difficultchoosing.But in the end, we brought together131 songsthat we older folk can sharewith youngones.Some of the songsmay give us a chance to relivepast delights;some, youngstersmay be inhoducingto us for the first time. After selectingthe songs,we got to work to ensure that the Children'sSongbookwould be easy to use and enjoyablefor the greatestnumber of people.We kept page-turningwithin a song to a minimum. In songswith many verses,where one may have some difficultyfollowing from line to line, we used a Reader's Digest innovation- a tint through altemate verses,to keep the eye from wandering. We chose illushationsthat would delightalland help young children recognizetheft favoritesongs.And we told about each song- how and where the song was written (many, you'll find, just "growed"), what the people who wrote it were like, where it has been performed. All in all, we've worked hard to make this the best songbookevercompiledfor children,and we'rehappy with the result.We hope you and the young peoplein your life will sharemany happy hours with it.
A NOTE ON THE ARRANGEMENTS Allsongsin the book havecompletepiano arrangements,except for the nurseryrhymesin Sections11 and72 and the roundsin Section13. Thesehavebeen anangedin singleJineformatbut with an optionalharmony part in smallernotes. In the 11 other sections,the melodyof eachsongis repeated on a separatestaff, making it more easily availableto singersand young instrumentalists. Our alranger,Dan Fox, has also made the melodieseasy for youngstersto sing,sincehe has usuallykept them within the compassof a child'svoice (middleC to E above).The melody can also be played on virtually any "C" instrumentthat readsin the hebleclef,including the recorder.(lf playedalone,B-flator E-flatinshumentscan play the melody line, but not in combination with each other or with any "C" instrument.) The chordsymbols(i.e.,C, G7, etc.)canbe usedfor guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin or any other instrument that can play chords,includingevenvery limited chordorgansand autoharps.Chordscan be simplified by omittingbassnotes(C/Emeansa C chordwith E in the bass- you would simply pressthe button for a C chord), or by omitting materialin parentheses, as in G(7), or by usingindicatedalternatechordsin parentheses,i.e., D#dim (87). If your instrumentdoesn't have the diminishedchord, it probably does have a 87, which will be acceptable. For guitarisfswho may not read music or who do not have a secureknowledgeof chords,we haveprovided fretboard diagramsfor all the basicchordsused in the book. Youwillfind theseon pages2 and3 of the Lyric Bookletthat accompaniesthis book. The numbersbelowthe melody notesarefor people who play the "C" chordorganand/ormelodicaor any of the electronickeyboardsthat are so populartoday. Eventually,of course,we hope that you or your favorite child musicianswillwant to learnto read the musical notes. The Editors V^

Words and Music by Joe Raposo The messageof this song is simple: Have fun singing. . . and don't worry if it's not good enough for anyone elseto hear.Many youngsterswho watch Sesome Street come from Latin American countrieswhere everyonespeaks(and singsin) Spanish.Joe Raposo,who speaksSpanish himself,wrote the catchy tune for the program in that language, "Canta," which, of course,means callingit "Sing." Under its Englishtitle, "Sing!" was recordedby such starsas Bing Crosby, Barbra Streisandand Johnny Mathis,and The Carpenters'versionwas in the Top 40 for 11 weeksin 1973.

Words and Music by Joe Raposo Kermit the Frog likes himself just the way he is, green and beautiful.He sangthis little "message"song by Joe Raposoin the earliestdays of SesomeStreet. "Bein' Green" makesyou wonder what it would be like to be someoneelse.Would Kermit reallywant to be red or yellow or gold or some other brighter color? Certainly not! Even thoughit's sometimesnot that easy,he'shappybeinggreen.And, like Kermit,aren't you glad you're you? Many singershave recorded Kermit'ssong, including Frank Sinaha,who made it a popular hit.

ffiubbGr When Emie first "Rubber sang Duckie" on SesomeStreet, he was sittingin the bathtub with his lovabletoy, his "very bestfriend." Emie's voice was that of Jim Henson,the master Muppeteer.The song is by Jeffrey Moss, one of the creatorsof the SasomeStreet TV seriesand winner of Emmys both for
his writing and for his musical conhibutionsto the "Rubber show. Duckie" has provento be fun for young and old alike.In fact, "children's this song" went as high as I!o. 16 on the pop musicchartsin 1970. Even older people know that a favorite toy is a very specialthing.

@vffiR3flffiffi from The Wizard of Oz Words by E. Y. Harburg Music by Harold Arlen
Judy Garlandwasjust a young starletwhen she sang"Over the Rainbow" in The Wizordof Oz, but it becameher themesong for the rest of her life. It was almostcut from the movie becausesomepeoplethoughtit was too slow-pacedand interferedwith the action.Luckily, "Over the Rainbow"was kept in and won an AcademyAwardfor BestFilm Songof 1939. It's a songabout dreamingand wishingand findinga troublefree tomorrow.And remember,sometimesdreamsdo comebue.

(HowMuchrthat Patti Page had a million-seller with her 1953 recording of this amusing novelty song, complete with the sound of a barking dog. In addition, through multitrack taping, the disc featured two Pattis singing together and thus made Miss Page a pioneer in modem recording techniques.The song was first
inhoduced on a children'salbum, and its popular appeal was instantly spotted by disc jockeys. It was then releasedas a single record and stayed on the best-sellingcharts for eight weeks. A small dog in a shop window is a hard thing for anyone to resist . . . especiallyif it has a waggly tail.

'T @AnfimaflFafr This children's favorite is a 19th-century minstrel song. Minshel showswere the first uniquely Americanform of entertainmentand laid the foundationsfor the developmentof our American musical theater. They featured white performers made up in blackface,and their material drew heavily from Negro culture.Minshelshows,featuringsuchgroupsasThe ChristyMinstrels,were popular from 1850 to 1870, but the advent of vaudeville, followed by moviesand radio,broughtan end to this form of entertainment. Minshel songs were frequenflynonsensical and full of fantasy.Many tell of animalsin preposteroussituations,asthis songdoes.The monk'sfatewas probablysad. Gaily

They said, "Daddy, you better go back again, rCauseit must be a mighty fine town-o, town-o, town-orr; etc. 7. So the fox and his wife without any strife, They cut up the goose with a fork and a knife. They never had such a supper in their lives, And the little ones chewed on the bones-o, bones-o, bones-o; efc.

Tom Paxton, who wrote this song, spent many of his formative years in Oklahoma, the state in which the legendary folksingersongwriter Woody Guthrie was bom. Paxton admits he is indebted to Guthrie, as are many other
folk-songwriters. Who doesn'tlike going to lhe zoo? This song capturesall the excitementof a visitto the zoo as well as the antics of the animals.One day at the zoo hardlyseems enough...that's why "Momma's takingus to the zoo tomorrow."

RubeGoldberg,who won a Puliber Pize in 1948 for his convolutedcartoon conhaptionsin The New York Sun, wrote this song in 1951. Ruth Cleary Patterson suppliedthe tune. Despitethe lyric'sclaim that giraffeshave "no vocal cords," the long-neckedanimalscan make sounds(althoughthey seldom do). Maybe giraffesjust don't havetoo much to say. . . unless,that is, they swallowa whistle.

The "B" and sing secondtime, they clap on the letter "I-N-G-O." The third time, they clap "B-1" and sing"N-G-O." Thiscontinuesuntilall of theletters areclappedratherthan sung.Childrenhavebeen playingthis musicalgame for many years;maybe since1780, when this songwas firstpublished.

This is a haditional song, frequently sung by children at summer camp, about a personwith an extraordinarily long name. It's kind of fun to say the name, too. Children love to sing this songas if it has no end. As soon as they get to the last "dah," they head shaightback to the beginningand start again.This goes on until they get too tired to continuesingingor some grownup nearby can stand no more . . . whichevercomesfirst.

HffiH ffiHJT"SUTSOS$G Words and Music by Leo V. Killion, Ted McMichael and Jack Owens
Leo V. Killion,who worte the zany words of "The HufSut Song," was an attomeyfor the California Legislative Council.We're surethat his argumentsin court were a lot clearer than the make-believeSwedish nonsenselyrics that he created. Freddy Martin and His Orchestua were the first to make the Moderate bounce
song popular,in 1939. It was later heard in the movie Son Antonio Rose (1941), in which it was sung by the group called The Meny Macs(another of the song'scomposers, Ted McMichael,was one of the Macs),and in From Here to Etemity (1953). It's just about time for a revivalof thiscatchytune.

Thissongwaswritten for FrancesWhite,who inhoducedit in the FlorenzZiegleldrevue MdnightFrolicsway backin 1916,and it wasusedagaintwo yearslater in a revue calledHitchy-Koo. Theinspirationfor the songprobablydid
not result from the difficulty of spelling the name of the river and the state,but ratherfrom the fun of saying"M-l-S-S-l-SS-I-P-P-I."As a result of the song's popularity,almost everybodycan spell Mississippicorrectly.

"Clementine" The authorship of the song is rather cloudy. The words first were credited to H. S. Thompson in 1863, and then. 20 years later, Percy Montrose was given credit for both the words and the music. However, we should be thankfulto whoever is responsiblefor this nonsensical song about a gold miner's daughter. It has provided countlesshours of enjoyment for campers, schoolchildren and other folks who have all loved singing about poor "lost Clementine, and gone forever." Moderately

Joseph E. Winner. (Winner was the brother of Septimus Winner, who wrote "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog "Ten Gone?" and Little Indians.") Apparently the song had been sung in different versions since early in the 19th century, and Winner only claimed that the "jug" was "put into shape and filled up" by him. In 7939, Glenn Miller and His Orchestra revivedthe song with such successthat over a million recordsof it were sold. It may not have been chocolate milk that Winner put in the "jug," but children have always enjoyed singing this song,especiallythe chorus - a great knee-bouncerfor infants.

Lomax and Alan Lomax This is probably the originalversion of the song as sung by the greatbluessingerHuddie ("Leadbelly")Ledbetter,and it is doubtlessly autobiographical. Thereare many versionsof the song,most of which call for someactionto be done on the "Ha, ha, this-a-way."You can add more versesand make up actionsfor the chorus.("When I was a cowboy,a cowboy,a cowboy" . . . with a bouncingcowboy "motion" on "Ha, ha, this-a-way.")

Although credited to Huddie Ledbetter, "The Grev Goose" probablydatesback to ihe days of slaveryand representsthe resiliency of the Negro slave.No amount of oppression coulddestroyhim, for he possessed the same toughnessand spiritasthegreygoose.Like so many othersongs,"The Grey Goose"was collectedby Library of Congress
by John A. Lomax and Alan Lomax
folk-song archivist John A. Lomax and his son Alan. The song was sung by black convicts in Texas, who performed it in call-and-response fashion: one man sang the narrative and the others responded with "Lord, Lord, Lord." If you can think of another way that the goose got everyone's goat, try creating your own verse for the song.

Thereare variouswell-knownversionsof thissong,and all of them can be traced to England.One versionis possibly400 yearsold. It is saidthat the frog refersto the Dukeof Anjou (Anjouis an old Frenchprovince)andthe mouseto QueenElizabethI. If thisis so, it mightexplain the referenceto Francein the lastverse.Thisstorysong, popularsinceColonialtimes,is fun to act out. All you need are two friendswillingto help play the parts.

It is commonlythoughtthatthe woman on the horsereferredto in this nursery rhyme is eitherQueenElizabethI (she certainly shows up in a number of rhymes, doesn't she?) or the long"bells her on hairedLady Godiva.The style toes" may referto a 1Sth-century in whichladiessewedoellsonto thetoe of each shoe. The rockingrhythm of "Ride a Cock-Horse"seemsto suggest a toy rockinghorseratherthan a real one. A rocking horsecan't reallytake you too far, but your imagination shouldbe able to take you anywhere you want to go.

"Cockles and Mussels" is a picturesque description of a vendor from the 18th century calling her wares in the streetsof Dublin, Ireland.She was sellingshellfish: cocklesand musselsthat shehad probably harvested. North Americans are familiar with mussels. Butcockles- small,clamlike mollusks are found only in Europe and wereplentifulon the beachesnearDublin. Molly Malone'splaintivecry becamewell known outside her native country in the 1950s,thanksin partto a recordingby Burl Ives.The actualcallofsuchwomenasMolly might have soundeda great deal like the "cockles and mussels"part of this song.

Words by A. B. Paterson
Music by Marie Cowan
"Waltzing Matilda" was surrg as a marching song by Australian hoops during World War II. American GIs picked it up and brought its catchy tune back home. Using Australian slang, the songtellsthe story of a drifter (swagman)who camps beside a small Moderately
a
pond (billabong)under the shade of a eucalSptus (coolibah) tree.He stealsa sheep (jumbuck) from a squatter(rancher)and escapes the hoopersby jumping into the billabong."Matilda" is a blanketroll in which the swagmancanieshis possessions.

Out Put urL_*"lk,hgt",Right This was a popular party dance for adultsin the 1940s and has now become a children's favorite. It began as a folk dance calledthe varsoviana,which might have originated in Poland and been named for the citu of Warsaw.Polish
immigrantsintroduced it in North America, and the dance became well known in rural areas.Then, in 1939, Larry Spier wrote this popularization, and the varsoviana "Put turned into Your Little Foot Riqht Out."

"Lord Billy Boy (paqe 220) "Billy Boy" is probably a version of the well-known English ballad "Billy Randal,"althoughthe wordsof that songare much more dramaticthan these.It's fun to sing Boy" as if it were a conversation. One child singsthe questionsand another,as Billy, the answers. Little Bo-Peep(page221) This is one of the most popularnurseryrhymesof all, one of the group known as MotherGooseRhymes.Like so many other rhymes,it originatedin Englandand certainly datesfrom the 19th century,if it is not olderthan that.Therewasoncea child'sgamecalledBo-Peep. Could it be that the sheepin the rhyme are playingBo-Peepor peek-a-boowith their owner? Rock-a-ByeBaby (page227) This lullabyoriginallybegan "Hush-a-byebaby." But then, in 1872, EffieCrockett,a relativeof the famousDavy Crockett,wrote the musicthat we singtoday and changed theopeningwords.She was 15 at the time and was inspiredwhile baby-sittingfor a restlesschild. "Singa Sing a Song of Sixpence(page222) Songof Sixpence"is a nurseryrhymerichin symbolism. Some say the king is Henry VIII; the queen,Henry'sfirst wife, Catherineof Aragon; and the maid, Henry'ssecondwife,Anne Boleyn(who losther entirehead,not just her nose).In any case,the song couldbe basedon fact.Thereis at leastone ancientcookbookthat containsa recipefor a pie in which to birds? livebirdsareenclosedand fly out whenthepieiscut.Wouldn'tyou preferapplesor blueberries Baa,Baa, Black Sheep (po4e223) It hasbeensuggestedthat the wordsof thisvery old rhyme point up theclassdifferencesbetweenthe little boy and the master,probablythe Kingof England.Did you notice thatthe tune is like that of anothersong?It's "Twinkle,Twinkle,Little Star" once again! "Jack" and "Jill" cameto mean Jack and Jill (paSe223) Althoughfrom the 15th centuryon the terms "lad" "lass," it ispossiblethatthetwo characters in the originalversionof thissongwereboth boys. and A numberof religiousconnotations and a greatdealof inhiguehavebeenreadinto the words,with the climb to the top of a hill for water havingspecialsignificance,the water in this casebeing holy water. Childrenare more inclinedto take the wordsof the songliterallyand delightin actingthem out. Hot CrossBuns (poge224) This is an old Englishsheetcry heardon Good Friday,when somepeople eathot crossbuns for brebkfast.Try playing the first two lines of this song on the piano or another instrument. Thereareonly threedifferentnotesin thispart.A grownupcanshowchildrenwhereto start. Humpty Dumpty (poge225) Somescholarsthink this rhyme is hundredsand hundredsof yearsold. Whatever its age, it is known in some version by most children in the WesternHemisphere.It's so familiarthat people don't realizeit's a riddle. For what is this Humpty Dumpty that cannot be put togetheragain?It's an egg,of course. LittleJack Horner (page225) Thereprobablywasa realJackHomer. He lived in Englandat the time of HenryVIII, and wasa stewardto a wealthyabbot. The story hasit that his employersentJack to the Kingwith a gift "pie" containingthe deedsto severallargeestates.Jack put in his thumb, pulled out a deed. . . and lived happily ever afteron one of the estates. "hidden" meaningshave been found in the wordsof Hey, Diddle, Diddle (page226) Althoughmany this rhyme (the cat supposedlyrepresents QueenElizabethI), the only certainthing to be saidabout "Hny, Diddle, Diddle" is that it firstappeared in print in an Englishpublicationof the late 18th century calledMother Goose'sMelody.The wordsare probablyjust nonsensethat are fun to singand act out. Little Boy Blue (page 226) There is some disagreementabout the identity of Little Boy Blue. One theoryis that he was meant to be CardinalWolseyof England,who was the son of a butcherand probablydid look aftersheepas a child.WhoeverBoy Bluewas,he obviouslyforsookhis duties.The moralof this rhyme is: Pay attentionto the job at hand! Little Miss Muffet (page227) Thls is a very popular nurseryrhyme . . . and a very scaryone too. Do you know what the words mean? "Curds and whey" are the solid and watery parts of milk when it "tuffet" is a low seator stool. Mostimportant,it rhymes separates.And, accordingto the dictionary,a with Muffet. Who's afraid of a cute little spideranyway?
2L9
There Wasan Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe (page227) Many nurseryrhymesstartedaspolitical satires.In this one, for example,the "old woman" might have been the BritishParliamentind her "children," the many coloniesunder Britishrule. Takenliterally,a shoe seemsan unlikelyplaceto houseso many children,and artiststhroughthe ageshave had fun portrayingthis silly hoh-e.Child artistsmight also enjoy hying to draw a picture of it. Oats, Peas,Beansand Barley Grow (page228)The completeversionof thissonghasled to the belief that it originallymay havehad a religiousand symbolicmeaningand beenpart of farmers'springritesto promote the fertility of their fields. Lazy Mary, Will You.Get Up? (page228) This traditionalchildren'ssong is sometimesplayedas a gamein whichthe childwho is playingthe mothertemptsthe childwho iJMary to getup. Sn" offers suchthingsas "a sliceof breadand a cup of tea," whichdra* a negativer"rpor,.". ThEnshemightoffer "a niceyoungman with rosycheeks,"whichelicitsa positive"Yei, Mothe.,I *ittget up." Toda"y,Mary is alreadyup-and at work. She'san executiveof a corporation. Old King Cole (page229) AlthoughtherewerethreeEnglishkingswith this name,the one in thissong is reportedto be that King Cole who reignedin Britain in the 3rd century.He was obviouslynot only merry but a musiclover as well. And that'ssurelya fine recommendation.

Yeor-Round Version Look at Peter Cottontail, H o p p i n rd o w n t h e b u n n y t r a i l , A rabbit of distinction, so they say. H e r st h e k i n g o f B u n n y l a n d t C a u s eh i s e y e s a r e s h i n y , a n d He can spot the wolf a mile away. When the others go for clover And the big bad wolf appears, Hers the one thatrs watching over, Givint signals with his ears. And thatrs why folks in Rabbit Town Feel so free when hers arounr; Peterrs helpin' someoneevrry day.
Little Peter Cottontail, Hoppinr down the bunny trail, Happened to stop for carrots on the way. Something told him it was wrong; Farmer Jones might come along, And an awful price herd have to pay. But he knew his legs were faster, So he nibbled three or four, And he almost met disaster When he heard that shotgun roar. Oh, thatrs how Peter Cottontail, Hoppinr down the bunny trail, Lost his tail but still he got away.

Thereare many conjecturesabout the origin of "YankeeDoodle." What seemsclosestto the truth is that the tune is that of an lrish jig and the wordsare English.The Britishsangit duringthe AmericanRevolutionto make fun of the ContinentalArmv. but the colonists loved the song and later took it as their own.
