The Fairies Comments

My Grandfather sang the first two stanzas of this song with his parents in the 1920s and the song has been passed down as a car trip sing-along in our family ever since. My children love it too.

Very well written. I really enjoyed

This takes me back to my Junior school days when the teacher taught the poem in the form of a song. The first verse sometimes seems to grab hold of my mind and goes round and round in my head.

This has always been one of my favorites! ! Willy Wonka fans may know the first few lines :)
