beetigerMore on the details of old family movies later, but for now, a childhood song question:
There's a tune which I think sometimes gets called "Arabian Song", the one that usually gets used in cartoons to denote snake charming, with the rhythm "NaNa Naa Naa Naa, NaNa NaNa NaNa Naa". The lyrics I learned for it as a kid started "All the girls in France..." and were rather bizarre.
If you know what I'm talking about, and you have lyrics you sang as a kid, please post them, together with where you grew up. I get the impression that this is one that has had a lot of regional variation, and I am curious.

All the girls in France
Date: 2005-05-16 04:59 am (UTC)All the girls in France do the Hoochie-Coochie dance
And the dance they do is enough to kill a mule
And the mule they kill is enough to take a pill
And the pill they take is enough to (something) a snake
(more stuff I can't remember, then it makes it way to...)
...fell behind the fridgerator, there lay a piece of glass
Miss Lucy fell upon it and broke her assssk me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies
Miss Lucy told me all of this the day before she died.
