Very nice :) We have this song in Norway too, it's called "Åkken Bom" And yes, it is translated :)

I was a preschool teacher for 20 years. This one of my favorite songs to sing with kids . This cover is awesome! Thank you so much! btw..I SO want that Union Jack ukulele! LOL

Great version Tony- I remember this one. I could never quite understand how a coat could be made out of roast beef though :)

[casetone2514]

@UnluckyMum

I don't think it is meant to be factual.

Thanks Statto

[UnluckyMum]

ha ha ! and please stop calling me that lol

[casetone2514]

@casetone2514

OK if I type"Caroline" but think "Statto"?

[idrnoel]

Hmmm, I actually like this song. In a lot of ways, this is such a happy put-a-smile-on-my-face sort of song even though I've never heard it before. It definitely is different from some of the more depressing and immoral (songs about killing husbands) songs. I actually like it very much.

[casetone2514]

@idrnoel

Thanks very much.

Normal (depressing and/or immoral) service will be resumed as soon as possible

I like children songs, because they mostly have very beautiful melodies. Thank you for sharing.

[casetone2514]

@Urgyboy

Thanks very much - I like the simple care-free nature of many children's songs

[reliablebow]

[casetone2514]

@mydeepsecretaccount

I'm glad

[waterdog226]

I remember this from when I was a child.

[casetone2514]

@waterdog226

Wow! I knew it was an old song - I didn't realise it was THAT old : )

Thanks

[GCEAtuning]

Lovely tune - it does ring a vague bell probably from the BBC Schools music programme with that chap off Play Away who played the piano. That's no help at all is it? Like the look of the Union Jack uke in the background, very patriotic!

[casetone2514]

@GCEAtuning

Saw the union flag uke and couldn't resist!

Thanks - I think it was Jonathan Cohen who was the Playaway pianist wasn't it? Or was he Play School?

[Rutle]

I love this, "He's hat was made of cream cheese" my fav line.

[casetone2514]

@Rutle

Thanks very much

@AcousticFriend

Thanks very much

[matthewvaughan]

About a year ago I was actually recording this song for the Rise Up Singing project and came across the Jacobite song you mentioned, and so recorded them both. I don't know about the origins of this song, but I know it from Canadian kids' singer Raffi.

[casetone2514]

@matthewvaughan

Thanks very much. I don't knor Raffi - I'll check him/her(?) out.

[acbaltimore]
