A red bird danced with a green bullfrog. Well, that's what this song says, and it's called "Buckeye Jim".

Way up yonder above the sky
A bluebird lived in a jaybird's eye
Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim

Way up yonder above the moon
A blue jay nest in a silver spoon
Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim

Way down yonder in a wooden trough
An old woman died of the whooping cough
Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim

Way down yonder in a hollow log
A red bird danced with a green bullfrog
Buckeye Jim, you can't go
Go weave and spin, you can't go
Buckeye Jim

Shame more songs can't be like this in my generation. (I'm 14) all we get is that Justin Bieber rubbish. I love the classics.

I SWEAR I haven't heard any of these songs since I was 4 1/2. I'm nearly 39 now. I can still remember some of the lyrics. Getting choked up it takes me back so easily to being a tow-headed little innocent kid playing on the street ...
