We named DS Joshua and now anyone we see over 65 starts singing a very random music hall song..."Joshua, Joshua, sweeter than lemon squash you are...."

Anyone else heard of this, or know any more of the words???

"Joshua, Joshua,
Why don't you call and see Mama,
She'll be pleased to know
You are my best beau.
Joshua, Joshua,
Nicer(/sweeter) than lemon squash you are.
Yes, by gosh you are,
Joshu-oshu-a."

(Music Hall song)

Nice name. I always think of Rachel from Friends saying "Josh-OOH-Ah"

It's nice to have a special song for your DCs

We used to sing "Charlie is my darling" to DS2

My DS is called Joshua, so yes what a great name .

I know my MIL used to start trying to sing some song when we first said we were calling DS Joshua. She didn't know the words but it got annoying when she mentioned every time I saw her. Luckily shes stopped now. Maybe thats the song but no one else has mentioned it to us.

I also think of Rachel from friends saying it.

Thanks everyone. His sis is calling him "Dosh-you-ah" at the moment which is in danger of sticking....!

My lil one is called Joshua. I absolutely love it. When my niece came to the hospital to see him when he had been born, she sang this. She is 5. Very lovely moment.
