I know, I know, it's Thursday today, not Tuesday. But I have been having some real video uploading issues and power outages lately, so there, that's my excuse.
I caught Jacqueline singing this medley of bedtime songs to her dolly. Interesting fusion of 'Twinkle Twinkle' and 'Lavenders Blue'.
Never heard of Lavenders Blue? Shame on you.
Lavenders blue, diddle diddle, lavenders green.
When I am king, diddle diddle, you shall be queen. {'cept J. turned it around b/c she said she wouldn't be king, she's a girl, she'd be queen}
Call up your men, diddle diddle, set them to work.
Some to the plow, diddle diddle, some to the cart.
Some to make hay, diddle diddle, some to cut corn.
While you and I, diddle diddle, keep ourselves warm.
Well, that's the way it was in my nursery rhyme book. I actually did some reading on this little ditty and found it quite interesting. It's an old English nursery rhyme first printed around 1680. Now, from what I could find, this video below was the only offering of the tune & words familiar to me. This guy's a riot.
