The Golden Gate Quartet Sings 028

I hear those echoes calling. Say and meet me, I can get. Well gone again, skipped to my loop. Gone again, skipped to my loop. Gone again, skipped to my loop. Skipped to my loop, my darling.

Listen to those voices. They're the voices of the famous Golden Gate Quartet. And this is Tom Scott. Guess you know why we're here, of course you do. It's the Sing of America. Sing the songs handed down to us for the people who settled this great land of ours.

Listen and you'll hear America singing as it conquered enemies, overcame rivers, mountains, even space and time. These are your songs, your American heritage, the folk songs of your land. Gone again, skipped to blue, gone again, skipped to blue, skipped to blue, my darling.

Monkey shines and crazy capers. They're all rolled into one on this program of children's songs. Way back when the monkey married the baboon's sister, the animal kingdom, set to singing. And out of the chorus of gibbering javarwalk came the words of a song.

It was called the monkey's wedding, and it went like this. Well, the monkey by the baboon sister, he gave her a ring and then he kissed her, he kissed so hard he raised the blister, sent me honeys and me.

Well, what do you think the bride was dressed in? A white dress and a green breastpin, red kid shoes were interesting, she was quite a beaut. Now the groom he wore, the blue shirt collared, black silk socks that cost a doll, a great Longed with his quite old fashioned, but he did look swell well

The monkey ran the battle sister, he gave her ring and then he kissed her He kissed so hard he raised the blister, send me honey, send me here Well what do you think they had fuss up, chestnuts that was boiling roasted Apple sliced and onions toasted, peanuts not a few Then what do you think they had far a fiddle, an old banjo
