memorable childhood songs

[IshbelRobertson]

A folk song my mum used as a lullaby for us when we were babies, and I used for my own family. It has also always been sung or played on the bagpipes at family funerals!

"The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the waterspout..
Along came the rain and washed the spider out..."

[Eggs and Shrubs]

Not strictly a childhood song but I recently went to a Christening and this was played. I thought it was brilliant.

I'm a little teapot short and stout
Here is my handle here is my spout....

My mother used to sing: Listen to the mockingbird, and you are my sunshine.

From my daughter's childhood actually: I sang this to her almost every night from about age 4 up to 8 or 9. Sometimes guitar, sometimes not, but she always wanted this song. After that funny bedtime stories were the standing order, but I still love this little lullaby.
