Silly songs you remember from early childhood

[Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g]

Mr Gasp is just running through a few of those on Spotify.

So far we've had:

Right Said Fred (made me sad, hearing dear Bernard Cribbins )
Nelly the Elephant
Loving you has made me bananas
Run Rabbit Run

I'm hoping for A Windmill in Old Amsterdam soon.

Any other suggestions?

Growing i had cassette tape purely of silly songs

I'm bringing home a baby bumble bee, won't my mummy be so proud of me...

Mmm mmm went the little green frog one day...

The animals went in two by two...

They were there from Monday to Saturday
And nobody knew they were there

I loved this song as a kid but only because my dad didn't so use to play it to wind him up. 😁😁😁

I know a song that’ll get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves, get on yer nerves….

The Hippopotamus Song (Glorious Mud)

The Chiquita Banana Song ('Bananas like the climate of the very very tropical equator/ So never never never put bananas in the refrigerator!') I think this started out as an advert, but my mum used to sing it to me as a nursery rhyme. And to this day I never do put bananas in the refrigerator!

Don't jump off the roof Dad
You'll make a hole in the yard
Mother's just planted petunias
The weeding and seeding was hard
If you must end it all Dad
Won't you please give us a break
Just take a walk to the park Dad
And there you can jump in the lake.

I was a big Beastie Boys fan too...

🎼🎶 The Ying Tong Song

🎼🎶 The Hokey Cokey

I was an adult long before Right said Fred came along. My youth was Boney M "Hit me with your rhythm stick"...

The "ate a bumblebee" song (stung by, squished, licked, brought up and more...as the verses go on)...

The Boy I Love is Up in the Gallery

Does anybody remember a very old (music hall era) song that has the lines:
"A fire here, a fire there, well, I've done a bit of walking in me time..."
and:
"To rescue me the fireman brought a ladder but the ladder was a lot too tall".
My father taught me lots of old songs, but he could never remember that one properly.

I'm a poor little petunia in an onion patch and all I do is cry all day
