The cd player is playing the tune:
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush, the mulberry bush. Here we go 'round the mulberry bush, so early in the morning!
And the kids are asking:
What's a mulberry bush?
Why are they going around and around it? Picking berries?
Why so early in the morning? Before it gets hot outside?
The cd player is playing the tune:
On top of old Smoky, all covered with snow, I lost my true lover, for courting too slow. For courting's a pleasure, and parting's a grief, and a false-hearted lover is worse than a thief. A thief he will rob you, and take all you have, but a false-hearted lover will send you to the grave.
And the kids are asking:
What's THIS song about?
Is this really a kids song?
Where is old Smoky?
What's courting?
What's false-hearted mean?
But what does the song MEAN?
