By the way...I ordered my Spirograph from Amazon today..can't wait to get it...I love playing with that on a nice rainy day.

I used to like to play Yatzee too. That was a family game... even Grandma joined in.

Re: The playmate song you just posted for us.

While reading those lyrics I literally heard my mom's voice singing in my ears. Wow!

Do you all also remember the lullaby about "go to sleepy little baby" and it ended with playing patty-cake and riding "a shiny little po-ony!"

I finally found the words to this song:

K-K-K-Katie, beautiful Katie,

You're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore.

When the m-moon shines over the cowshed,

I'll be waitin' at the k-k-k-kitchen door.

My Babci (grandmother in Polish) always used to sing that to me at some ungodly hour in the morning whenever I used to sleep over, and then follow it with "GOOD MORNING, SUNSHINE", when I was feeling anything but sunshiny that early. She did change the name.

We still play Yahtzee! It's a regular choice on 'game night'!

I love game night....we used to have one all the time....does anyone play canasta anymore??

beacon - is this the one you were talking about?


Hush-a-bye don't you cry,
Go to sleep-y, little baby.
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little horses.
Blacks and bays, dapple grays,
Coach and six white horses.
Hush-a-bye don't you cry,
Go to sleep-y, little baby.

Hush-a-bye don't you cry,
Go to sleep-y, little baby.
When you wake you shall have
All the pretty little horses.

Bobby - I was telling people a few nights ago that I have a regular 'game night' with friends - one Saturday a month we go to somebody's apartment and cook a simple dinner and play games - hosts choice. Everything from Trivial Pursuit to cards. And, canasta is one of the games we play! I look forward to it. It's a fun diversion from the daily routine...and is fun to see how competitive we all get!!

Posted: 8/3/04 at 4:37pm

NYadgal - reading the words 'hush-a-bye' made me think of "Hush-a-bye Mountain" from Chitty-Chitty, Bang-Bang. I love that song - and that movie - and I wanted Caracatus to be my father.

Also love "Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins!

It would be fun to get those game nights started again....it was easier when I didnt live in NYC.

Posted: 8/3/04 at 4:42pm

Didn't we all DG? I always wanted an inventor for a dad... So instead I married one!

Posted: 8/3/04 at 4:42pm

Bobby - do you not know many people in NYC?

[NYadgal]

Posted: 8/3/04 at 4:54pm

Feed the Birds - I have an old snow globe of St. Pauls cathedral in London - which always reminds me of that song...

Bobby - I'm in NYC!
Lots of people, but not much time - which is the most precious commodity!!

By the way - did anyone see Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in London? (sorry - off topic...)

[Bobby457]

Posted: 8/3/04 at 5:08pm

Yes I know alot of people....alot are usually busy especially in the evenings...

Bboobs... the k-k-katie song...what is it from/who is it by?

[beacon1]

Posted: 8/3/04 at 6:02pm

The song I remember was something like:

Go to sleepy little baby,
Go to sleepy little baby,
And when you wake
we'll patty-patty-cake
and ride a shiny little po-o-ny

Does anyone remember that? Perhaps I should e-mail my mom...

[NYadgal]

Posted: 8/3/04 at 6:04pm

beacon - That's a good questions!

I don't know the origin of K-K-K-Katie...I've just always known the song.

I remember about a month or two ago Katie Couric had someone related to the song on the Today Show...but I can't remember who or why. (big help) - maybe the Today Show archives have something.

Just got home..trying to catch up.

First of all...Bobby, my partner taught me how to play Canasta because he always played with his Uncle and Grandmother. We now play it alot. He actually plays it on line too.

The song Katie...can't remember where it's from, but I do rememeber a war movie seeing years ago and the main character would sing it to his girlfrind. I can see the actors face too...just don't remember the name of the movie or his.

Posted: 8/3/04 at 6:15pm

well - this is weird.

I just posted additional lyrics to the song that I found online - and now the post is nowhere to be found. Which probably means that it was diverted to a post that had nothing to do with it, and now everyone is saying what an idiot I am...

And, I can't find the lyrics again on the web.

I'm in my own little version of the Twilight Zone...

K-K-Katie is from Tin Pan Alley (thank you, google!)

Here's a snippet:

1940 "inventory" musical Tin Pan Alley. Set in the years just prior to and during WW1, the film casts Faye and Grable as Katie and Lily Blaine, a singing-sister act playing the vaudeville circuits of the land. Ambitious songwriter Skeets Harrigan (John Payne) senses star potential in Katie Blaine, and his efforts to promote her-and his tunes-at all costs result in a great deal of ill-will before the inevitable happy ending. Counterpointing the likeably ruthless Skeets is his ebullient partner Harry Calhoun (Jack Oakie), who spends most of the picture trying to find suitable lyrics for a novelty ditty he's written, a quest that proves unsuccessful until a stuttering soldier inspires him to write "K-K-Katie".

I recall when I was about 10 years old I saw a record (yes, an actual record) at the grocery store that I begged my dad to buy me. It was the soundtrack to It's a Small World and it had it all these languages and had pictures of the ride at Disneyland. (pre Disney World.) My dad bought it for me though and I listened to it all the time.
