I sing-a-lot at various venues (mostly) Music Hall songs, but lately I've been branching out into a slightly different direction.
I've rediscovered songs I remember from my childhood (50's/60's) that my mum used to sing to me, and Uncle Mac used to play on Saturday mornings. I'd gathered a few from memory, eg: Animal Crackers (Shirley Temple) Nellie the Elephant (Mandy Miller).
Of course, I could look up a variety on Google - but that feels like cheating! So, all you great Gransnetters, I ask you, what songs would/do you still sing from your childhood? It would be so helpful for me to have an idea what folk like to hear and join in with 
Guy Mitchell's 'Feet Up, Pat him on the Po-Po' was very popular when my little brother was born. I remember Dad singing what would now be highly inappropriate lyrics. 
Whenever I see twin babies, this pops into my head
Twenty tiny fingers, twenty tiny toes
Two angel faces, each with a turned up nose
One looks like mommy with a cute little curl on top
And the other ones got a big bald spot exactly like his pop
I must have heard it somewhere.
Golly, Daisyanswerdo, I'm grateful he never got past the chorus!! . Thank you for that, I'm much enlightened!
