Greetings:
My mother has been chanting the following little ditty to her new
granddaughter, and it has stuck in my head as well. She claims she has
known it since childhood, but has no idea where it came from. She
asked a friend of hers who is about the same age (65), and her friend
knew it, too (though not the last line), and was equally mystified as
to its origins. Here it is:
Rooty toot toot
We are the girls from the institute
We don't smoke and we don't chew
And we don't go with the boys who do
Our class won a Bible!
OK, it's not Sondheim (and it's not even a show tune!), but I figured
if anyone could identify it, it would be someone on RATM!
Cheers!
Amy :)
