Now Danville Klude is a funny old dude and he had a little duck named Chick.
One day sat sittin’ there thinkin’ about a, thinkin’ about a, thinkin’ about a thing
When one of them things went “click”
And all of a sudden, of a sudden, he said,
“I’m gonna let another little idea in my head.”
He went through the mill ’n’ the mire ’n’ the muck
’n’ he said, “I’m gonna get a little chick named Duck.”
So he got a little chick named Duck ’cause he had a little duck named Chick.
Now Danville Klude is a funny old dude and he had a little goat named Pig.
One day sat sittin’ there thinkin’ about a, thinkin’ about a, thinkin’ about a thing
So much that he flipped his wig.
When all of a sudden, of a sudden, he said,
“I’m gonna let another little idea in my head.”
He went to the gig, he did a little jig, he took off his coat, took a vote, ’n’ made a note,
’n’ then he said, “I’m gonna get a little pig named Goat.”
So he got a little pig named Goat ’cause he had a little goat named Pig
’n’ he got a little chick named Duck ’cause he had a little duck named Chick
’n’ he got a little cow named Horse ’cause he had a little horse named Cow
’n’ he got a little bear named Lion ’cause he had a little lion named Bear
’n’ he got a little rat named Mouse ’cause he had a little mouse named Rat
’n’ he got a little bird named Fish ’cause he had a little fish named Bird
’n’ he got a little dog named Cat ’cause he had a little cat named Dog.
Now Danville Klude, walkin’ down the road, lookin’ real crude, with a brand new
brood,
Had a funny attitude, walkin’ on a latitude, dogitude, catitude, rat-tat-tatitude,
Duck-billed platitude, diddle atti, diddle atti, dooti bow-wow.
Spoons Story
With the use of funny rhymes and mnemonic devices, children can learn the
fundamentals of spoon playing and body percussion. These mime-along, rhyme-along,
tap-, clap-, slap-along sessions are always very contagious in the way they bring
together words, rhythm, and the imagination. You can ask children to bring in large soup
or small serving spoons of the cheap variety. They can also bring in a rhythmic rhyme,
poem, rap, or verse—perhaps a verse they learned by ear or made up themselves—and
either have it memorized or written out with the downbeats notated like so:
Now old Dan Tucker is a fine old Man,
Washed his face in a frying pan.
Have the children say the verse while tapping their feet on the downbeats.
Bones Lesson/Fine Lady and The Saxophone Pig
(Arranged by Malcolm Dalglish)
The spoons lesson is followed by a lesson on playing the bones, which turns into a
new version of “Banberry Cross.” The game here was to take a nursery rhyme and
simply write a second verse. The traditional tempo of “Banberry Cross” is 6/8:
Ride a cock horse to Banberry Cross to see a fine lady …
