My Daddy use to sing an old old song that we can't find. We've heard
it sung in an old western movie, in a Tom & Jerry cartoon, and once on
the radio. I have no idea how to spell these words but I'll sound
them out:
Kyman Nero Captain Kero - ribo licktum simalictum bowl meal kymeo
don't laugh - that's as close as I can get - anyone recognize it?
Thanks,
Pam
my mom, recently passed at 92, was trying to remember an old song - she
wrote the following;
Keemo Kymo Daro Ware
Kang Thang puppy doodle
suppa beg a penny winkle
milk in the dairy nine days old
suppa beg a penny winkle kymo
Well,
Kymo keemo kymo kee,
Way down yonder in a hollow tree,
With an owl and a bat and a bumble bee,
Kymo kitchee kitchee ky-me-o.
is one variant of the chorus to an old, old folksong that goes back to Elizabethan England, "Frog Went A-Courting," or "The Frog's Courtship,"
or "Sir Frog," or just "Froggy." Here's Chubby Parker's version,
recorded in the 1920s:

I did notice the original query was dated 2002! And then that you can't respond to posts by email! Is anyone still reading this list?
