Thanks Rod-- I know it as "Last night upon the stair" for the first line,
and "I wish, I wish he'd go away"

which scans fine. (and i thought it was too much fun for only american kids to have discovered)

do we have any former girls scouts? I don't remember the song about the rooster--only the idea of it
Its about the wonderful rooster--

who gets into the garden and everything starts coming up eggplants--
and he corners the farmers wife, and after that she only has eggheads--?
there are about six or seven verses


my other obsession
