Can any one tell me the words for verse 2 onwards? I want to teach it to the brownies at the song night tonight!

I thought there was only the one verse! The I googled and found

this

Wow.... Lot of lyrics for a nursery rhyme.... I would have copied it across, but kididdles say you can't do that without their permission - hence the link.

Fred

Anyone know the French song?

I didn't, but looked through Google and found this:

Ah! Vous dirai-je, Maman,
Ce qui cause mon tournment?
Papa veut que je raisonne,
Comme une grande personne;
Moi, je dis que les bonbons
Valent mieux que la raison.

Translation:
Ah! Let me tell you, Mother,
What's the cause of my torment?
Papa wants me to reason
Like a grown-up.
Me, I say that sweets have
Greater value than reason.

Thanks fred . I only knew the first line of the second verse. I'm sure I'll have fun teaching it to the brownies... although that means I have to sing now....
Cecilia: Thanks for the french words, I think I'll refrain from from teaching the brownies french!

I didn't know it had so many verses!

the only other verses I have come across were the silly ones... one that starts "twinkle twinkle little bat" I think, and another that says "like a teatray" rather than "like a diamond".... I forget the rest of them though...

this is my favourite one though.... how silly is that? fabulous...

maybe teach it to them in French another week...?

Thank you

Don't refrain from teaching them French - I need someone to translate my French back into English for me

Oh yeah, the Holly Williams Thread is great, here is a link:

Hehe, now they can't close it down without one broken link

I can do one better, from what I can remember it goes like this.


Twinkle Twinkle Chocolate Bar
Your dad drives a rusty car
Push the Start and pull the Choke
Drive off in a cloud of smoke
Twinkle Twinkle Chocolate Bar
Your dad drives a rusty car

who 's hear this one then?

ive heard that one!

Years ago a visiting choir sang:

Scintillate, scintillate, globule orific
Fain would I fathom thy nature specific
Loftily poised in the ether capacious
Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous

They also did:
Three rodents with defective visual perception,
Observe how they perambulate
They all perambulated after the agriculturist's spouse
Who severed their hind appendages with a kitchen utensil
Did you ever see such a spectacle in your existence as
Three rodents with defective visual perception

Twinkle twinkle little bat
How I wonder what you're at
Up above the world so high
Like a tea-tray in the sky...

*gets put into teapot by Mad Hatter and March Hare*
