I AM A LITTLE ORPHAN
I BET YOU CAN'T GUESS WHAT I HAVE IN MY POCKET
I CAN'T SING PURTY, BUT I SURE SING LOUD
I GOT CHICKEN POX FOR CHRISTMAS (see Scratch, Scratch, Itch, Itch on “S”page)
I KNOW WHAT I'LL DO BYE AND BYE
I LIVE ON A STREET IN MY HOMETOWN
I WANNA BE A FRIEND OF YOURS
I'M A DEVIL, A DIRTY LITTLE DEVIL — looking for more verses
I'M GETTING DIZZY OVER IZZY
I'M GONNA TELL HER THAT I LOVE HER (request for three songs )

I MET HER AT THE BULLFIGHT
IN THE LITTLE PANTS MY MOTHER MADE FOR ME
IN THE LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE I WAS ALWAYS LATE (see Little Red Schoolhouse)
IN 1814 I TOOK A LITTLE TRIP
INVENTORS SONG (OH IT TOOK BELL TO MAKE THE TELEPHONE RING)
ITSY BITSY TEENIE WEENIE YELLOW POLKA-DOT BIKINI
I'VE GOT A FIVE POUND BOX OF CANDY, (AND IT CERTAINLY IS DANDY)
I'VE GOT A MULE TO RIDE


I AM A LITTLE ORPHAN —
From: Gwen S Dear Phyl and Walt, My Mother taught us girls a few songs from when she was growing up in WV. One song was "I am a Little Orphan". My Mom isn't sure of all of the words. I guess this song would go in your Yucky Songs. She also taught us- Babes in the Woods and Short'nin' Bread. Here is what we have:

I am a little orphan, my mommy is dead.
My daddy is a drunkard, won't buy me not bread.
No shoes nor no stockings to wear upon my feet.
No one to mend my dresses since mommy went to sleep.
I sit by my window and hear the robins sing.
It makes me think of mommy since daddy's gone away.
If I was a birdie I tell you what I'd do.
I'd fly away to the graveyard and sleep with mommy too.

Have you heard of this song? And if so, do I have all of it? I know it is sad,but for some reason I still love to hear it. Thank you, Gwen

I BET YOU CAN'T GUESS WHAT I HAVE IN MY POCKET
From K. J: I'm looking for a song that I can only remember some of the lyrics. I was hoping you could help me locate it. they go like this: "I bet you can't guess what I got in my Pocket, Bet you can't guess what I got, It got string........and then it goes on to list several things a boy might carry in his pocket. Do you know that song and where I can get the music and lyrics?

Ed. Note: A . I didn't know the song, and promised to post exchange on our next update of the Song Swap page. But I went to <http://raindrop.org/rugrat/music/katol3.shtml> and lo and behold! here are the lyrics:

Oh I bet you can't guess what I've got in my pocket.
I bet you can't guess what I've got.
Oh I bet you'll never guess, oh I know you'll never guess,
So I guess I'll have to tell you what I've got.

I've got keys and a ring for ev'rything,
My lucky rabbit's foot.
A bell and a whistle and a feather and a thistle
And a map of Connecticut.
