Beautiful Dreamer
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
when night was glamorous a fellow amorous - cant remember the name of the song though :(
dipu i cant remember or find lyrics to can it be true. do you remember them.
i also dont remember learing beautiful dreamer or chitty chitty... so that must've happened before class VI :P
i remember the words just not the name so dont know how to hunt for it on the net.
tks - now i do remember the first two lines and the tune for can it be true :P
have to ask rohini if she got confused :D
you should hear Mariam Makeba then - Usha Uthup sang some of the songs she did including Malika - check out Pata Pata and Click song. cant get hold of them let me know.
i remembered a few more
nina pretty ballerina
if you miss the train i'm on
kookaburra
Blowin in the wind
Can it be true is a modern religious song
The other one you had asked for:
When night was glamorous, a fellow amourous went out to woo a pretty little maid. Beneath her window far he tuned his gay guitar and sang beneath the stars his serenade.
Chorus: Lady Romantical, List to my canticle, slip from your coverlet, fleecy and white
I think the name is Lady Romantical
Hope this helps
Ujwala,
My daughter was impressed when I remembered the lyrics to Nina pretty ballerina. She thought it was cool.
dunno why i remember the night was glamorous so well... i think it's cool too - howz your singing now? cant keep up with dipu. also need to find a way to squish the post a bit or sort it in some order.
How do you go to the next page on the blog?
hey whats this all about....? all the songs n hymns we learnt....?? first day and last day of school we sang lord behold us and lord dismiss us also lead us heavenly father lead us, oo'er the world's tempestuos sea
who remembers ducks from class 4 or 5...? my favourite!
rohini - sadly there is no easy way given by blogger to navigate. you need to look at the archives. i'm hoping to do some tagging so that when you click on a tag say rohini you get all related post but for that we need to start tagging all past and future posts. more to you on that later.
sango - tks for listing some of the prayers. the one that i remember i did not want to put down here as it was the heading of my next post. but then since most people are nto visiting the comments i might just do that anyway - I love to go a wandering....
along the mountain track and as i go i love to sing with my knapsack on my back valerie valera valera ha ha ha :D
and i never learnt this one at school you taught me!!!
Uj,
We learned this in 3rd or 4th class. It is one of the first songs I learned in LMC. Also, learned Finniculi/Finnicula and Obladi blada. Ro
