Love it! We were taught to sing this in elementary school in the 1950s. Thanks for reminding me how old I am. Since you're an avid music historian, check out the similarity in melody and especially phrasing to another popular turn-of-the century song, "On a Bicycle Built for Two" (also known as "Daisy Bell"), written in 1892 by British songwriter Harry Dacre, and a staple of the barbershop quartet repertoire. Here's a link to an unusual version, sung by a one-man quartet: th-cam.com/video/JmiNlZAiDqo/w-d-xo.html After listening to that, how about a duet, trio or quartet of The Sheet Music Lady (or, maybe more correctly, The Sheet Music Ladies)?
By the way, when you get to Julien Neel's TH-cam channel to hear this, make sure you take the time to listen to his collaborative effort on the Beatles' "Blackbird." What a masterly, goose-bumps-inducing version!
Thank you; I'm glad you enjoyed it, Steven! I am familiar with "On a Bicycle Built for Two," but that 1-man quartet was quite a performance! Very impressive! I'll have to think about what I'd need to do to do a duet (or more parts); my setup right now is very simple. Maybe someday I will!
I love this song! I am teaching myself piano (even though I am 66 years old) and I play this song every day. That you so much for posting this.
Wow, that's great! There are so many people who are familiar with this song!
Bravo!
I am glad you enjoyed it!
I've heard this before. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for listening!

That's great! This song really seems to linger in one's memory.
superbe merci pour le partage 😊
You are welcome!
i really liked it. greeting from germany
Thank you, Ben! It's great to know I'm having an international reach! Some of my ancestors came to the U.S. from Germany several generations ago.
Your voice matches with this song perfectly! Wow! 😎👍
Thank you! I must admit, my piano transposes, so I get to pick the best key for my voice!
@@sheetmusiclady2924 Nice! 🎹🎼⬆️⬇️
Thanks for posting! I remember part of this song appeared in an educational computer game I played in the early 2000s.
Thank you! It's neat to see how these old songs take on new life and are introduced to different people!
