to the tune of "On top of old smokey"
On top of spagetti,
all covered with cheese
sat one little meatball,
till i happened to sneeze
it rolled off the table
and onto the floor
it rolled out the door,
and now more meat ball,
is a meat ball no more..
but there are lots of diffent things that happened to the meat ball..one version has the meat ball rolling under a bush, and the bush growing meat balls..
and the tree song.. some varients are very close to the irish, but the are american versions too
bog, bog, boggy-o, there's a tree down in the boggy-
on on this tree there is a limb, the finest limb you ever did see
and the tree is in a hole,
the holes is in the ground,
and the green grass grows
all around all round,
and the green grass grows all a round.
Now on this limb there is a branch, the finest branch
you ever did see,
the branch is on the limb,
the limb is on the tree,
the tree is in a hole,
the hole is in the ground,
and....
tree, limb branch, twig, nest, bird, chick, eye, eyelash.. progressively!
and there was an old woman who swallowed a fly...
and the boa constrictor song
and more.. i'll be back!
