I loved one called 'Little Sir Echo' (although I thought it was little Sirecco at the time)
My mum used to teach us lovely little songs like this (and the gilly gilly ossenfeffer one) and I taught my kids - who are now teaching THEIR kids.
I love that kind of continuity - those songs and rhymes are like little heirlooms |

My dad used to sing us one called "little red caboose" and we used to always get excited when there was a railway crossing we had to stop at, waiting to see if the train had a little red caboose. My dad passed away from cancer a few months before my twins were born and unfortunately because of his illness ( and our lack of funds) the last time he saw my son was when he went over to Canada when he was 3 months old...but I have a short video clip from our last night there,of my dad bouncing C on his knees singing "Little Red Caboose " to him...priceless |

"There was an old lady who swallowed a fly". I spent ages learning all the verses and still remember them now.
My dad had a silly little phrase that made me chuckle:
Silence in court, the judge is dead!
Somebody farted and blowed off his 'ead!!!
He's a bit strange my dad, lol. |
