Lonely goatherd…

High on a hill was a lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Loud was the voice of the lonely goatherd
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Folks in a town that was quite remote heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo
Lusty and clear from the goatherd’s throat heard
Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo

Know this song? Sound of Music? When Maria and the children are putting on a puppet show. Well today during craft when we were making mobiles of winter clothing in which their were two paddle pop sticks crossed over at the top and glued in a cross pattern. Each child hung four pictures, one off each point.

Next thing we hear one of our four year old boys humming that above song. At first we were like…`Mmm, what a weird song for a child to know, especially a Japanese child, but whatever` and then it hit us…he had his mobile above the desk and was moving it like the traditional puppets in sound of music during the scene in which that song is played.

Strange how a child`s mind works!!! Lay ee odl lay ee odl-oo…………………..

    Oooh, I love that song. That used to be a classic for the choir of my girlfriends as we staggered out of the pub on a Saturday night in London. It sounds MUCH better after you’ve had a few.
