At last---the solution from Jeanne O'B.:

What a fantastic site! I am remembering that I've forgotten many things. I was trying to remember the lyrics to the song Mr Fly...found them, on your site. But, there was a line missing.

It goes like this...
Mr. Fly climbed up a tree, climbed as high as high can be
Lost his grip came crashing down,
Smashed to pieces on the ground
When the insects heard the sound, echoing for miles around
They began to buzz and cry
"Quick, first aid for Mr. Fly,
"Get a bandage, get a splint
"Get the linty lintamint,
"Someone give him aspirin,
Someone call the doctor in"
Then the wise old flea spoke out
"You don't know what you're about
"He's beyond the reach of aid, get a pick and get a spade.
   Then the insects finally knew
    What it was they had to do.
"On his tombstone bears this scrawl
"'He who climbs too high must fall'".

Thanks for helping me remember my version that I learned from my dad.
Jeanne O'B.
PR: And, thank you, Jeanne for coming up with the missing words!

MR. MOON
From  MaryAnn: My father used to sing a song to me in the late 50s early 60s called Mr. Moon.
I am looking for the writer, singer and lyrics. This is what I remember of the song:

Mr. Moon, Moon, bright and shiney moon, won't you please shine down on me.
Your life is in danger, you'd better run, here comes a Johnnie with a kettle and gun.
 
Do you know it? Thanks
