Five For Friday - Great Old Summer Songs To Share With The Grandkids!



KIDiddles is a fun site with the lyrics to hundreds of kids songs, old and new. Quite a few songs also have midis to accompany them in case you've forgotten the tune.
Here are the links to five old songs that you're sure to remember and the grandkids would love to learn.

In the Good Old Summer TimeTraditional
Written By: Ren Shields
Music By: George Evans

In the good old summer time,
In the good old summer time,
Strolling thro' the shady lanes,
With your baby mine;
You hold her hand and she holds yours,
And that's a very good sign
That she's your tootsey wootsey
In the good old summer time.

Buy me some peanuts
And Crackerjack
I don't care if
I never never get back

Bicycle Built For Two
(Daisy Bell)
Written By: Harry Dacre

It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two.

Rise and Shine(Children of the Lord)

Rise and shine
And give God the glory, glory
Children of the Lord

So, git out the way, Old Dan Tucker
Git out the way, Old Dan Tucker

You're too late to come to supper.
