Oh, Susanna | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

Lyrics: Oh, Susannah! I come from Alabama With a banjo on my knee I'm going to Louisiana, My true love for to see. It rained all night the day I left The weather it was dry The sun so hot, I froze to death Susannah, don't you cry. Oh, Susannah, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With a banjo on my knee. I had a dream the other night When everything was still I dreamed I saw Susannah dear A-coming down the hill. The buckwheat cake was in her mouth The tear was in her eye Says I, “I'm coming from the south, Susannah, don't you cry.” Oh, Susannah, Oh don't you cry for me For I come from Alabama With a banjo on my knee. I come from A-la-ba-ma With a ban-jo on my knee, I'm going to Lou-i-siana, My true love for to see. Oh, Su-san-nah, oh, Don't you cry for me, For I come from A-la-ba-ma With a ban-jo on my knee.

Stay that way

So many parts of London are becoming generic modern visions of what modernity should look like (lots of glass and no personality) and it's all pretty soulless. We found these relics on the way to the Shard, and I wish they'd keep more of them. It was my London anniversary this week (22 years!), and the city is undergoing so much change I'm worried about where it's heading. It's more and more a city for the rich, who buy up property only to keep them as investments with no one living there, so whole neighbourhoods die come evening time, when the people who work in the area leave for home. What on earth will it be like once Oomoo becomes an adult?! He'll either be living with us for a looooong time, or emigrate (insert sad face) - which runs in the blood in my family...

I've Been Working on the Railroad | Family Sing Along - Muffin Songs

I've been working on the railroad lyrics: I've been working on the railroad All the live-long day. I've been working on the railroad Just to pass the time away. Can't you hear the whistle blowing, Rise up so early in the morn; Can't you hear the captain shouting, "Dinah, blow your horn!" Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow your horn? Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow, Dinah, won't you blow your horn? Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah Someone's in the kitchen I know Someone's in the kitchen with Dinah Strummin' on the old banjo! Singin' fee, fie, fiddly-i-o Fee, fie, fiddly-i-o-o-o-o Fee, fie, fiddly-i-o Strummin' on the old banjo. Someone's makin' love to Dinah Someone's making love I know. Someone's making love to Dinah 'Cause I can't hear the old banjo

The other day I took out my phone to capture the light after a rain shower, and as I pulled it up out of my pocket, I saw the man in the hat walk towards me. He looked so dapper and out of place, and I got all excited and waited for him to pass. It was only when I looked on the screen afterwards that I saw that I had travelled in time, and to another place. It was like a Saul Leiter or a Vivien Maier picture had somehow made it onto my phone out of nowhere, except with modern cars in the background. And even though I'd never wear a hat myself, I wish more people would - they're so damn photogenic.

Yankee Doodle went to Town - Nursery Rhyme with Lyrics

Hình ảnh
Here are the lyrics for you to sing along with your toddler: Yankee Doodle went to town A-riding on a pony, Stuck a feather in his cap And called it macaroni'. Chorus: Yankee Doodle keep it up, Yankee Doodle dandy, Mind the music and the step, And with the girls be handy. Father and I went down to camp, Along with Captain Gooding, And there we saw the men and boys As thick as hasty pudding. Chorus There was Captain Washington, Upon a slapping stallion, Giving orders to his men- I guess there were a million. Chorus Yankee Doodle went to town A-riding on a pony, Stuck a feather in his cap And called it macaroni'. Chorus:

For the third year in a row, we took Oomoo to yet another London landmark, something that's become our own tradition. When he turned three we went to the London Eye, when he turned four we went to the Tower of London and this year we went to the Shard. Unfortunately it was very foggy when we went on Sunday, so there wasn't much of a view to be seen, but we enjoyed it nevertheless. I guess we'll have to go back on a clearer day; I'd love to catch the sunset and see the lights of the city glimmer beneath us as day turns into night...
