"A little white duck,sitting in the water, a little white duck doing what he ou

Hi Hatley,I have never heard the song,sorry.

I loved that one, and The Hole in the Bottom of the Sea, and I have gone and looked them up before. I watched them on Captain Kangaroo.

I spent nearly 6 months with "the Worms go in" replaying in my head - I thought I'd NEVER get that thing OUT!

'There's a hole in my bucket dear Liza, dear Liza, there's a hole in my bucket dear Liza a hole' Do you remember this one dear Hatley, dear Hatley, do you remember this one, dear Hatley, this one?

Hi Hatley!! Hee hee - I love that you're a big kid - hee hee!!! My little ones are still little, so I hear a bunch of children's songs all the time. So if a little song comes into my mind - I know why - ha ha. There are a some songs I would love to look up - not exactly childrens songs - but I used to dance to them when I was in summer school during elementary times. I can hum them til this day - but I don't know ANY of the lyrics . . . drives me bonkers because without them, I can't look them up!!!! I grew up with Japanese kids songs - and once and a while the music pops into my head out of nowhere - but again, I can't look them up because I don't remember any of the lyrics!!!!!!

"One eyed, one horned, flying, purple, people-eater." My mom use to say that to me a lot as a kid. lol. I will remember that little song/phrase until the day I die. But I will never know where it comes from, or why it is so catchy and popular. My children will certainly know this one day. haha

I remember that song. Burl Ives recorded it and the radio stations use to play it alot. That was a long time ago.Thanks for posting it.

I think there are times we all have moments like this and have people look at us and wonder if we are OK. I know there are timeswhen I have hummed the theme song to Flintstones or smurfs and had people think I am odd. But personally I think it is OK no matter how old we might get to do this. Shows we still have a little bit of kid in us still.

Just a couple of months of hitting the big six-oh, I'm still just a kid myself and do have kiddie songs--including this one from my husband, Burl Ives (more details about that in another comment in this thread)--popping into my head frequently. One that finds reason to pop into my head is the one about Georgie complaining to Liza that there's a hole in his bucket. There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza. There's a hole in my bucket, dear Liza, a hole. Then, mend it, dear Georgie, dear Georgie, dear Georgie. Then, mend it, dear Georgie, dear Georgie, mend it. So, it goes on to where Georgie asks with what he should mend it. Instead of writing down the entire song, I'm just going to do it conversational-style. Georgie: There's a hole in my bucket. Liza: Then, mend it. Georgie: With what should I mend it? Liza: With straw. Georgie: But the straw is too long. Liza: Then, cut it. Georgie: With what should I cut it? Liza: With a knife. Georgie: But the knife is too blunt. Liza: Then, sharpen it. Georgie: With what should I sharpen it? Liza: With a stone. Georgie: But the stone is too dry. Liza: Then, wet it. Georgie: With what should I wet it? Liza: With water. Georgie: In what should I carry it? Liza: In the bucket. Georgie: There's a hole in my bucket!!! One reason this song pops into my head is that we need to get one thing or another fixed around here. For example: A situation might go like this: My credit is maxed. Get some money to get it back to where you have a good credit record. Where do I get this money? Get a loan. How can I get a loan? Provide proof of your good credit. But my credit is maxed.

I made the mistake of singing do your ears hang low to my grandson then caught myself humming it while cleaning the house whats wrong with me lol

I remember a similar topic months ago about a song that keeps playing back on your head, actually mine is a new song that keeps playing back in my head, I'm pretty stable but I still have kids that I have to send to college later, at my age I still have plans to make it a little bigger someday so it's really about a song of love and ambition, so here it is friend and hope you like it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F94rPuOrAE

This children's song personified the duck.I haven't heard the song,much less getting an idea of what its morality was.However I can well feel that you still preserve traces of childishness.

I have never heard that song, but it has certainly happen that I can hear a song and just can't get it out of my head. and then I am humming it all day and sometimes into the \next day...Its funny how that happens.... Hope you are doing well....

Hello Hatley. Yeah, and it was "John Jacob Jingle Hiemer Shmit, his name is my name too. Whenever we go out, the people always shout, "There goes John Jacob Jingle Hiemer Shmit!, la da da da da da da..." I liked the way we had to sing it almost to a whisper and then you get to the part where, "the people always shout..." you would have to almost yell the name. Just fun times as a child...

yes remember a song in the 50's? about an ant carrying something up a hill. cause hes got high hopes. hes got high hopes. hes got high apple pie in the sky hopes. i think of that one now and then.

That is a funny song Mrs.Hatley there is one song which often accross my mind row row your boat.. Life is but a dream it reminds me that life is so short just like a dream

The bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain to see what he could see... This one is such a favorite, I sing it even when I am doing some grinding..lol Others would be Old macdonald had a farm, and little tom tinker,

My dear Ms. Hatley When I was a kid, they didnt have such good music and orchestra playing the poems. And maybe this is one reason I wasnt a good learner. But today, when my nephew goes to school and gets back home with a CD of all the poems that are on his syllabus and we listen to them, the music is so good. I mean it is a great thing and change that I have seen happening for good. They make the poems so very hummable and even singable. Even the jack and Jill Went up the Hill and also the Baa baa black sheep sound so very good and musical. Thanks to you dear lady for bringing me the memories of how the days were at school

Hatley, good to know that you are enjoying your thoughts with this cute song, now my kids are doing KG classes and my wife teaching rhymes to them. I remember about my child hood days and rhymes while listening their activities

haha! i do not know this song and it's tune. should i wish to hear it from you only if i am residing next door from your house my madam ... take care :)
