This happy song takes its title from the Mother Goose rhyme of the same name. I imagine the stage production would have been charming!
If it sounds like Billy Murray singing, it is. He was part of the American Quartet.
Thanks to Betty for this record from her collection!
"Pretty soon the love knot will be tied.
Pretty little Polly'll be the bride.
Then we'll see who he'll be; wish 'twere me!
Pretty soon she'll find her little nest, feathered by the one she loves the best
Imagine Polly as a cook, how charming she will look!
Wouldn't you like to be along when Polly puts the kettle on?
And to hear its song of love while it is a-steaming?
Picture, if you can: oh! the happy man!
Who'll be there to plan
And share her dreaming!
And, oh! what a dawning; waking come morning!
Just to find that you're along, when she puts the kettle on!
I wish that Polly'd put the kettle on for me!
Oh Polly put the kettle on
And tell us who 'twill be
Oh, pretty little Polly put the kettle on
And dream with me!"
Thanks. Very enjoyable presentation.
This is So adorable..!!! I feel like putting the kettle on!
Thank you, thank you!
Very nice graphics thank you - they remind me of my very early school days. Nowadays there is nothing like a good cup of Earl Grey tea in the afternoon.
I just adore this video; memories of the images in childhood books. The song is very cheerful. Such a positive moment at this time. Thanks, Anthony!
This is just sweet! Love the graphics, especially the face that changes expression. Many thanks for sharing, so glad the lovely Genia enjoyed it too.
Oh abendstunde put that kettle on, and dream with me ;-)
I would love that Anthony!
