My mom taught me that song when I was very little. I am now 71 and still find myself singing it from time to time. No pun intended.
My mother also sang this and I think of it sometimes. Marvelous to randomly find it on youtube. I have remembered nearly every word of all the verses all these years.
I'm a couple years older than you and also find myself singing it.
I'm 85..grew up in Southern Rhodesia..knows this song all my life!!@ Anna (Meyer)
@@ansjacobs7861I’m 67 and removed it also from grade school! 🇨🇦
❤
Omg, i had totally forgotten about this song. What a blast from the past. Loved listening to it again after all these years. 💕
Same here 🤣
We sang it as a round when I was in primary school, a very long time ago.
I'd forgotten it till I saw it just now oh memories
I'm 80 and I'd completely forgotten this song ,I used to sing it with my dad, great hearing it again xx
All honour to the conductor for coordinating that brilliant performance
I was probably 6 years old when I first heard this song while watching Lawrence Welk with my family. When my parents had the house remodeled, my mom insisted on getting a Grandfather Clock. She absolutely loved it. When she passed 35 years later it stopped working. That song came to mind immediately.
When my father passed away in 1992, the clock he had bought in 1960 stopped working within a week. It could not be repaired, it being a German make. Now it is being driven with a quartz movement. The same clock face but no pendulum.
I learned that in grade school back in the 50s. It was my favorite. I just had my 73rd birthday.
My Grandma taught me that song when I was wee. I am 76. Our family always sang it when we went on car trips. So many fond memories. Thanks for the memory.👍💕
I used to sing this when I was little. It’s especially poignant now as it reminds me of my dad who was an English watchmaker. Miss him every day 😢
What a brilliant conductor, leading not only the choir, but the whole captive congregation!
Really enjoyed!
Thank you
Beautifully sung....and..Wow ! That takes me back to my childhood ❤
This is a very special memory for us older siblings in our family. My uncle used to sit in the rocking chair and sing this song while he rocked us.
Makes me homesick again... remember this from my long ago childhood in England.
I’m 72 and we learned this in the 1950’s in Southern California. This was one of my favorites ❤ lovely to hear it again..done so well!
Like many others here, my mother taught this song to me. Im 70. This was so fun to watch, loved it!
I learned this song back in the 1950's when I was in elementary school.
My darling Poppa used to sing that song to me when I was a little girl. This brought back beautiful memories of my sweet Poppa. RIP. Thank you. 💖🌷💖
Ah, the memories this gong brings back. My mom used to sing to my sister and I a lot when we were younger and my dad was away with the army. This is one of many songs and stories she had memorized when SHE was younger and used to entertain her invalid sister. I am now 66 and still remember a lot of them and this is one of them.
Oh my...memories came flooding back. We sang this in grade school. I was amazed that I remembered nearly every word of it.
I learnt this song in my school in Bangalore India. I still remember it to this day. Thank you.
Our momma sang us to sleep with this song, 4 little girls. I still sing it at 73. She also sang Alice Blue Gown and Pennies From Heaven. Beautiful voice and wonderful memories ❤️ 💖 💕 ♥️ 💜
My mum used to sing Christopher Robin is saying his prayers , or Vespers , and They're changing the guard at Buckingham Palace . , Very special . ❤❤❤
Oh, thank you so very much for reminding me of those songs of my childhood. My parents were born pre WWI and I was born just past WWII, and they were music lovers, so I am familiar with music that spans well over 100 years. This includes nonsense songs like Marzyd oats, and yes, we have no bananas! 😊
It was in my Campfire Girls songbook in the 1950s and I loved singing it.
We sang this way back in school, I am 71 now, good memories.
I learned to play Leroy Anderson's "The Syncopated Clock" on the piano in 1959 and found it was the song used as the lead-in to a weekday afternoon show on TV. I was 9 years old and it was one of many things on a widening world, to which I was becoming very aware.
If you ever come to Denmark I will be the first through the door, with all the horror in todays news it has been a joy listening to a hall full of fun and laughter.
As a child we had a L.P. called, "Children's Favourites, " this was on it. Thank you for a blast from the past!
Used to sing this at school in music.. walk down memory lane ❤
Wow. way back a hundred years ago, I remember Sister Cabrini had us sing this song in Grammar school
Just looked up this song as it was the first song I learned to play on guitar well enough many moons ago. What a fun sole lifting performance.
When I taught this song to some fourth graders, they loved it and often requested it when the opportunity arose. This was in the late 1990’s.
This brings memories My fathers clock stopped on the day of his death Nothing spiritual she chain was broken at five to ten and it had to be nudged past that every evening!!
This makes me smile big! Adorable!
I’ve loved this song since I was a child. Now in my 80s I was thrilled to find this recording. Thank you!
I learned this song in elementary school, we used to sing it in the playground. Great job gentlemen!!!!!!1
What tremendous fun . These moments are rare and precious,thank you.
My little daughter used to sing it to me to soothe me when I had migraines.
Now in my 70s
Oh my goodness, memories of my childhood! Lovely.
That was just wonderful. Thank you for making me smile.
I had almost forgotten this song. It was taught by our music teacher Sister Ophelia at school. Thank you.....brings back sweet memories.
I know this song from childhood in the 1960s. I hope they can get some young men into these male voice choirs.
I remember learning this song in school 65 years ago but always thought it a sad song because the old man died
Really emjoyed this video, made us smile x
Oh, my! Haven't heard this in donkey's years! Bless!👍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❣
It's the song you never think of until you hear it and then you remember every word.
So true!😄
Like the poster below me, thank you for a great walk down memory lane! 🙃
That 👀 looked like fun . I love this type of video. Thank you 😊 for sharing.
I learned this song in grade school in the 50s in music class. It was in our music textbook. Loved it.
My singing teacher taught me this song in Primary section, l still remember this song.l enjoyed singing this song.👌❤️
Me too - all the way in Jamaica.
Oh how wonderful! I’m 64, and this song brings back to me the very happiest memories of a wonderfully happy childhood 😍. My dad taught me this song and we would frequently sing it together, with our own version of actions. Dad and I taught it to my children and we had a lot of fun with it. Now that my dad is no longer alive, I’ve taught my little grandchildren and we love to sing it together. My youngest grandchild has a particularly beautiful voice and she loves to sing it to her mum and dad. Thank you for the memories. I absolutely love your rendition of this song 😁
Wow. I so enjoyed this song.
I learned this song in grammar school during singing time. I've never seen it done like this!
We need more videos like this!
Memories of nights in the rugby club!
What fun. It's great to get all involved and laugh. What a quaint song.
Excellent... bravo!
This song is an absolutely beautiful demonstration of the different phases of life. Very well done you guys.
Family favourite and the strange thing is the clock my parents got for a wedding present stopped at 03:15 when he died and hasn't worked since. He always joked that would happen, he never for one moment considered it could really happen.
Absolutely the best laugh and golden oldie I loved from yesteryear children favourite I could listen to them all over and over, immense joy in these songs. Many thanks choir. ❤
Thank you for this humorous and well - crafted rendition. Could someone post the words to this song? About 2 weeks ago I found myself spontaneously singing the first verse. The rest I have forgotten. I will be 80 on Christmas eve.
My dad sang this in his choir near or in Hamilton, Ontario. There was a choir festival outdoors every year with a whole day of choral singing by adult choirs. It was a day of beauty and heavenly sound wrapping around us as we enjoyed the summer weather in the park at the Annual Choir Festival..
Hubby taught this to our kids. My sister LOVED it, and when she wanted them to sing, she'd say ok sing it at my funeral. My daughter lives in NZ and send a message to be played at her funeral. We all smiled with so much sadness
FANTASTIC! 😂
I'm 72. I learned this song in early high school in Sydney, all those years ago. It brought tears to my eyes to hear it again.
I was taught this song in elementary school! Tic tok tic tok!❤
Wonderful singing and excellent audience participation! Great fun.
Great to have some audience participation!
I learned this song on the piano back in the late Sixties
Had a kids phonograph with a steel needle in 1960. Got a yellow 45 sized record with this song on it, and played it till the needle wore thru the plastic. I never thought I would hear it again. Now at 69, I feel fulfilled. Thank you so much. The record had 2 xylophone blocks for the tic tok sound.
We sang this in elementary school. I’m now 70
Brilliant it brings back so many memories when I was a child living in Glasgow Scotland now 79 years old and living in South Africa
I met a lovely lady from oz while on holiday in Langkawi. We'd had a bit to drink and she suddenly started singing this. I'd totally forgotten it. When I asked her why she started singing it, she couldn't even remember singing!!😅😂. I'm 55 but it must be my grandma who sangria it!??❤😊
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks , I heard this when I was 9 never forgot it , Im 70 now
My grandfather would love that play he would die to see it
Wonderful to hear this song again! I remember visiting the Seychelles in the early 1970s, when James Mancham was the chief minister. Wherever he went on those lovely islands he took his band
of Seychellois people, the Nightingales, with him and this song was sung regularly! The lead singer, a woman with a strong voice, gave it a very different sound and crowds of locals would gather outside with the band. Happy memories stirred by this entertaining performance! 😊
Love this!
My mother and I loved this song 1:20
A lot of fun, sang this in primary school Simon's Town
I was singing this in my car just 2 wks ago but couldn't remember all the words. Thank you, I have them now!

What a beautiful arrangement! I sang that as a child. Now that I'm a newly retiree, I'm still an active musician, playing piano guitars, percussion, and still singing! Thanks for this memory!❤❤❤
