BEDTIME GIGGLES, an Illustrated Song
Posted on: May 13, 2024

BEDTIME GIGGLES
Poem by L. V. Francis
Illustrated by Kelly Oechsli
From: HUMPTY DUMPTY’S BEDTIME STORIES (1971)
Tune by ELEG for SBWE
Arranged for Ukulele by ELEG for SBWE
**********************
**********************
BEDTIME GIGGLES
Poem by L. V. Francis
Why is it when it’s time for bed,
The queerest thoughts run through my head?
Each funny bone inside me wiggles
And makes me get the BEDTIME GIGGLES!
And Mother says, “There’s no excuse
For acting like a silly goose!”
I guess my mother’s right at that –
I DON’T KNOW WHAT
I’M LAUGHING AT!
**********************
**********************
Bedtime Giggles
poem by L. V. Frances
Illustrated by Kelly Oechsli
From the book: HUMPTY DUMPTY’s BEDTIME STORIES
A used copy if this 1971 book arrived today. I ordered it because the contents are illustrated by Kelli Oechsli. I really love books illustrated by Kelly Oechsli and was duper excited to find this one.
Perusing the pages, revealed this poem and instantly the tine popped in. Like capturing butterflies, I got out my song catcher and sang it before again (like the Fairy who went a-marketing) letting it go.

MOTHER’S LITTLE HELPER
Peggy Johnson
Set to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb for Sing Books with Emily
I helped my mother make the bed.
– make the bed.
– make the bed.
I helped my mother make the bed.
“Why, what’s that lump?”
My mother said.
And she was so surprised to see
– surprised to see
– surprised to see
And she was so surprised to see
The lump in the bed was only ME!

Rattlin’ Bog, an Illustrated Song

Traditional Words and Tune
Arranged by ELEG for SBWE
**********************
NOTES:
*
5/10/2024: I am a gratefully and joyously a member of the Capitol Fools company. This detail has to do with this song because my association with it began when fellow Fool Kevin mentioned on social media that he’d recently attended a musical event and now he would need 3-5 days to get the song RATTLIN’ BOG out of his head. I’d never heard of this song, so I looked it up and it’s been in my head ever since (far more than 3-5 days). It’s a first-class ear worm, that’s for sure. But it’s a fun one.
*
I was thinking about getting an instrumental sing-along made for this book, but the sing along that comes with it is terrifically sung by a crowd of people with delightful Irish accents, backed up by a band of Irish instruments. Normally, I could not sing along with a track that has vocals on it, but this is a song FOR GROUP SINGING so it feels absolutely correct to sing along with this group of Irish folks.
