I woke up this morning with this old song going through my mind. We used to sing it when we were kids. I wonder how many of you remember it and have sung it?
Chicory chick
Check-a-la romey in a bananika
Bollika, wollika, can't you see
Chickery chick is me?

OK, I could list a lot more but I don't want to bore you. So, you all have a great day, you hear?
love those sayings!, song? never heard. Only song I remember when I was really young, was, does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight? lol
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I, too, remember that song.
DeleteI remember that song, and even back then I thought it was pretty dumb. My aunt played piano and got the sheet music to it, so we stood around the piano and sang those dumb non-words. I much preferred "When it's springtime in the Rockies"!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I prefer that song, too.
DeleteI learned dozens of nursery rhymes when I was young but never heard that chicery song... Liked reading those old saying... might have heard some before but they're all still funny.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I still remember the melody to that song. I remember things from my early life more than I remember where I sat my coffee cup a few minutes ago. . .
DeleteI absolutely remember way back much more than an hour ago. But when I look back to my kids' childhood I only remember the good stuff - not much of how they might have misbehaved.
DeleteI enjoy remembering my childhood.
DeleteNever heard the song before, but I have heard a few of the old sayings. Wonder what that says about me?
ReplyDeleteThat says that you are younger than I am. Most people who are still alive are younger than I am.
DeleteIf at first you don't succeed, try try again . . . then give up. No sense being silly about it.
ReplyDeleteYep, trying it twice is enough.
DeleteNever heard that son - kinda like "Marezy Doats and Dozey Doats", huh?
ReplyDeleteLove the quote about chocolates ... I'm gonna use that one!
Now you went and did it!! I now have another song running through my head. . .
DeleteI never heard that song before either. Curiosity made me look it up on you tube to hear it. The Andrews Sisters made it popular and from what I read they were forced to record it. lol
ReplyDeleteAnother old song I liked was K,K,Katy. It was about a guy that stuttered and had a gal named Katy. I will paste some words so you don't have to look it up, too:
DeleteK-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy, You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore; When the m-m-m-moon shines, Over the cowshed, I'll be waiting at the k-k-k-kitchen door.
