Pete Seeger

Peter "Pete" Seeger (born May 3, 1919) is an iconic American folk singer. A fixture on nationwide radio in the 1940s, he also had a string of hit records during the early 1950s as a member of The Weavers, most notably their recording of Lead Belly's "Goodnight, Irene", which topped the charts for 13 weeks in 1950. Members of The Weavers were blacklisted during the McCarthy Era. In the 1960s, he re-emerged on the public scene as a prominent singer of protest music in support of international disarmament, civil rights, and environmental causes. more »

Here's a song for one and all
(down-a down and down-a down)
Here's a song for one and all (with a down)
Here's a song for one and all
About a man just two feet tall
(with a down, derry derry derry down down)

He met a dame on Blytheswood square 
She was forty, fat and fair

She says to him with a tender smile 
"Would you be free for a wee short while?"
His evil mind began to roam 
When she said "Deary, come on home"

She showed him to her room and said 
"Put all your clothes upon that bed"

She said "I'll be right back in a tick" 
The wee man through his clothes off quick

She brought her seven children in 
Said, "See that ruckle of bone and skin?"

Says she, destroying all his courage 
"That's what you get when
You don't eat porridge"
