LOL. No, I said I would send the words/lyrics along. Although not sure if

I can zip it up.

Regards

>>I don't know this one. How does it go (how you're going to explain how

it goes via email I don't know ! :-)) ?

Thanks - have just printed off the lyric and learned it. Sang it

to her tonight. She loved it. It's one of my faves too but I have

never bothered learning past the first line.

She's decided she wants me to learn 'I saw Mummy kissing Santa Claus'

too after I sang the first couple of lines and then ad-libbed 'I don't

the words.... but I bet daddy wasn't too pleased'!!!

>>>Does everyone have a song they associate with their newborn baby (or

babies) ? Mine was Pure Shores by All Saints, because I loved it, and

Dan<<<<

We sang Lollipop Lollipop to Holly but said Hollypop instead ... had to stop

thought because she eventually introduced herself as Hollypop ....

She used to take note and the Lombard Finance add (the one with the blue

phone) and still does ... she'd stop everything for that add... Also Face

on Nick jr always gets Haydn attention...

I have a noo-noo song which my mum used to sing while cuddling us if we were

hurt or upset. I used it when mine were babies and had colic, & they cried

incessantly DD2 still comes and asks me to hold her tight and sing it if

she is feeling grumpy & frustrated. As mum died when DD1 was 11 mths old I

feel this is something I can pass down to them from her, which they will

always have.

Does anyone know its origin?

'Here we are again

Happy as can be

all good friends and jolly good comp-a-nee.

Never mind the weather,

Never mind the rain

here we are together,

and off! we go again!'

(go to top and repeat ad infinitum getting quieter and softer, and then just

gently huming)

Brilliant Sue - didn't realise it was religious until now - and what with

the Chinese whisper phenomenon, some of what I did remember was rather

garbled.

Thanks

Was allowed our CD player in the labour ward and DH and I distinctly

remember, " Lucy in the sky with diamonds " by Elton as I was trying to

push DS out. Perhaps this is why he refused to come out the natural way -

who knows?

Where did you print it off from?

DS always picks up on the word " baby " BTW

Steffi's is the ?'s ad - Do mummies have girls and daddies have

boys? Daddy's in trouble for not paying his taxis, etc

Also the 'You were made for me, everybody tells me so...' is it some

soft cheese?

Gosh that has reminded me of my Mum's songs:-

Sandman - Sleepy eyes the sandman's softly calling, in the sky's it's time

to say goodnight etc

and

There were 3 little kittens

I can't remember it song wise, but it was about these 3 kittens called Une

Deux Trois

who went skating on the ice and it broke and they fell in --- and

wait for it ----

Une Deux Trois " Cat Sank "

- who must get her DM to give here the words

A good source of lyrics generally used to be www.lyrics.ch but they now

put some copyright protection thing on which means the lyrics are always

easily viewable.

I use google.com too and type in 'lyric name of song'

This is from the Charlotte Church fans site

Summertime

And de livin is easy

Fish are jumpin

an de cotton is high

oh yo daddy's rich

an yo ma's good lookin

so hush little baby don you cry

One of dese mournins

You goin to rise up singin

Den you'll spread yo wings

An you'll take the sky

But till that mournin

Deres a nothin can harm you

With daddy an mommy standin by

But another site has a slightly better spelt version!

http://users.bart.nl/~ecduzit/billy/song/song219.html

SUMMERTIME

and Ira Gershwin / DuBose Heyward

Summertime and the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin' and the cotton is fine (Sue's comment - fine

or high?)

Oh your Daddy's rich and your ma is good lookin'

So hush little baby, don't you cry

One of these mornings

You're goin' to rise up singing

Then you'll spread your wings

And you'll take the sky

But till that morning

There's a nothin' can harm you

With daddy and mammy standin' by

Doh - *not* always easily viewable. Perhaps you're all still asleep

like me and didn't notice!

loves that annoying advert too. It completely mesmerizes him. I

think it's the voice - it's kind of friendly and child-like, or

something. Likewise Nick Jr. Face voice. Weird.
