Great story! My kids loved it
I am so happy you enjoyed the story! Thanks!
Jesus. I haven’t heard this in nearly 20 years (maybe even 20 years). I’m so glad I remembered enough to stumble my way here. Thank you for being a part of my wonderful childhood!
Haha this song just randomly popped back in my brain from elementary school. Good memories
I am so happy the song brought back good memories!
Good!

JAN 8 2014
is this is a different version of the lyrics or my elementary memory just wrong?
This is actually a traditional old English song. Since it is a traditional song, anyone, like Eric Carle and myself, can use it or make up their own version. Eric Carle illustrated the old English version and it is probably the one you remember. Being from Louisiana, I made my own version with Louisiana food. I also wrote versions for Texas, New York and Kentucky.
