Do you know the dingle dangle scarecrow nursery rhyme?

definitely, dingle dangle scarecrow is ace, especially the second verse with littlies that can't say their r's so "all the hens are 'woooosting' ..."

I found it as a sound file on the internet and played it, he stared blanky at me ?

I don't know the second verse!! Tell meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!

All I can remember is "I'm a dingly dangly scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat, I can shake my hands like this, I can shake my hands like that" ... ?

He doesn't even know that bit!

To be honest, my H doesn't know ANY nursery rhymes so it's just as well we're child-free - he'd be USELESS!! He said he doesn't know any because his mother didn't sing any to him. Silly woman. ?

I didn't know this one until recently, however now I've turned sigs on I'm singing it every day ?

I know it! I guess it's kind of a "rite of passage" as my mum used to run a playgroup and I used to help her sometimes!

"When all the cows were sleeping and the sun had gone to bed..."

I can also be relied on to know the words to Tommy Thumb, and Wind the Bobbin Up!

ah the 2nd verse goes

When all the hens were 'wooooosting' and the moon behind a cloud

Up jumped the scarecrow and SHOUTED VERY LOUD (with appropriate shouting)

I'm a ... etc

I can't get that song out of my head now!

It's Ben's favourite atm, he can even do the dance- but he jumps up too early because he's very, very excited.

It's MissSun's favourite but I knew it from my childhood. She does it at Boogie Babies and they all lie down pretending their asleep [fluff icon]

I'd never heard of it until I started to go to baby group with my own little one.

Also, 'Wind the Bobbin Up' is a new one to me - is this just a Northern one?

I hadn't heard of Wind the Bobbin up or Dingle Dangle Scarecrow (until i took my daughter to a library sing song) and I am a fully fledged Northerner.

My class love this song, especially doing the SHOUTED VERY LOUD bit. There is also a 3rd verse which is 'whispered very soft' but they don't like that one as much!

We do 'Wind the Bobbin Up' as well. Horrible song after you've sung it thousands of times. We're in Hampshire so its not just a Northern one.

One of the favorites here is 'Zoom Zoom Zoom' and 'Sleeping Bunnies' both of which are done with Scarecrow song and involve intense and vigorous jumping and repetition

I've never heard of it.

A (and I) loves both those songs. She's just started to try doing different bits of the actions to wind the bobbin up. Dingle dangle will take a bit longer but she recognises the music to it. Oh and I'm fairly far south!

Should add that I didn't know those two until recently but I do know a fair few!

Its not just H that lives under a rock then ?

I want to see all your little ones doing the actions ? especially Ben

I'm a northerner, but have never heard of either of them.
