Remember any old silly verses etc you were told as a child

[Joto]

I remember this that someone wrote in my autograph book when leaving school

 

If all the boys lived across the sea

What a good swimmer Joyce would be

[Plain Talker]

Do you remember:

"The big ship sailed through the alley alley oh" (no idea how to spell it!). We sang this in the school playground whilst going round in a circle then threading under someone's arm.

 

"Ally ally aster, rain rain faster" was another rhyme.

 

what i can remember of the song "the big ship sailed.." is this:-

 

"The big ship sailed on the alley-alley oh

The alley alley oh

The alley alley oh

The big ship sailed on the alley alley oh

On the last day of September.

 

The captain said it'll never ever do

Never ever do

Never ever do

The captain said it'll never ever do

On the last day of september!"

 

I remember there would be a "dance" to it, where everyone would join hands, and weave between each other, till everyone had positioned themseleves with their arms folded, (like when you sing old lang syne) and you'd shake your arms together.

 

I think there were more verses, along the lines of

 

"The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea, the bottom of the sea,

The big ship sank to the bottom of the sea, on the last day of September.

 

We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea,

We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea, on the last day of September"

[DUFFEMS]

Yes, that was it, stupid wasn't it! Where did these rhymes come from I wonder.

[jennyren]

don.t know duffems. but as daft as they sound we loved em ... memories in the corner of my mind misty waters full of memories the way we where .. luv ya all xxxxx

[nanrobbo]

I hope this is not out of order ? -but a wartime song I remember goes-

 

There was a man called Hitler he had a black moustache

He didn't want the Jews but he wanted all their cash

He marched the Jews to Poland to clear the Polish land

The Poles all came to Britaiin and Britain went to France

Now listen Hitler and take a tip from me

Never try to come across the British sea

Cos if you do you'll never never rest

Cos you are the worlds biggest pest pest pest!

 

Funnily enough we used to sing this while skipping:P

[nanrobbo]

And does anyone remember-

There lived a sage in days of yore and he a handsome pigtail wore

He wondered much and worried more because it hung behind him

I don't remember the rest- anyone?

[convict621]

When people played 2 balls' I remember them singing.

PK penny a packet,

First you chew it then you crack it,

Then you stick it to your jacket,

PK penny a packet.

what i can remember of the song "the big ship sailed.." is this:-

 

"The big ship sailed on the alley-alley oh

The alley alley oh

The alley alley oh

The big ship sailed on the alley alley oh

The captain said it'll never ever do

Never ever do

Never ever do

The captain said it'll never ever do

On the last day of september!"

We all dip our heads in the deep blue sea, on the last day of September"

 

That's how I remember it going when we used to sing it at Infant school. We did the 'dance' aswell, except one person at the end of the chain would be stood holding onto the fence, and we'd weave through between that person and the fence, going under their arm.
