Sally, this might be a version of the same, but I know

Dance to your daddy
My little laddy
Dance to your daddy
My little one

You shall have a fishie
In a little dishie
You shall have a fishie
When the boats come home.

Deborah, I checked four times, different ways, to make sure "Dance" hadn't already come through I remember using a picture of Fred Astaire and couldn't find where (anyone remember?). The one you saved is wonderful.

Deborah in IL said...

Fred is on "Waltz" :)

In this world there's nothing I would rather do

Listen to the music of the moment
People dance and sing
We're just one big family

Jason Mraz
"I'm Yours"

Sandra, it is a version of the same song, and I know the second part like this:

Thou shalt have a fishie
On a little dishie
Thou shalt have a haddock
When the boat comes in

Cool! I just looked in my copy of The Real Mother Goose, (the big one with the black and white checked cover) and it's written your way there.

Here's my new play:

Shall we dance
(bu-bum-bum-bum)
On a bright cloud of music?
Shall we fly?
(bu-bum-bum-bum)
Shall we dance?

-from R&H's "The King and I"

I meant to say that Holly and I were watching the movie "Fame" yesterday and that's earned "Leroy Johnson" a spot here when I come in later to make a lyrics game entry. "Dance" was on my list, and "Leroy" was fresh in my memory.


Do you love me (do you love me?)
Now that I can dance

Just do the steps that you've been shown
By everyone you've ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own

And the ladies go dancing at Whitsun
(that's only seven words...)

There's a fine row of honor
A wreath from the queen
And the ladies go dancing at Whitsun

You are the dancing queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen

We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind.
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine.

Come dancing,

Dont be afraid to come dancing,
Its only natural.

I guess she was waiting impatiently all day for the rest of us to just Play MORE. Day old words are fair game, though. Diana didn't realize when she played several in a row that it was the new word.

So new word single plays, all others, fill 'er up!

Life's a dance you learn as you go,
Sometimes you lead, sometimes you follow.
Don't worry 'bout what you don't know,
Life's a dance you learn as you go.

Why couldn't I think of that when worry was the word?

Sandra Dodd said...

-=-Why couldn't I think of that when worry was the word? -=-

Because it's filed under "Dance" in your head?

I forgot to play last time; sorry.

**I guess she was waiting impatiently all day for the rest of us to just Play MORE.**

Nah, I wasn't around most of the day, I was driving across three counties to retrieve Sarah from her best friend's house. The word had changed by the time I got online again so hey, I played everything I could remember that I thought of on that long ride.

Besides, four in a row is hardly a big bunch. I think I've done 15 in a row in the past at least once. :)

Some dance to forget
