There are many things in life that make me smile, and I like to smile! It is so much easier than frowning, or grimacing.
I have decided to, occasionally, pass things on that I happen across that have made me smile. The first is something that I included in a comment on Colleen Brown’s lovely blog, The Chatter Blog. If you’ve never read any of Colleen’s words, or seen her delightful drawings, I can guarantee that you will find many a smile amongst her wise words and insightful sketches.
So, without further ado, here is my very first Smile time! The Ging Gang Goolie song.
It’s a gibberish song, widely spread around the world and popular among Scouts and Girl Guides as a campfire “round”. Originally Scandinavian. Sounds as though these are East European children. I bet you smiled!
They don’t write them like that anymore

Happy days. Yes, I remember it well. And I taught my grandson to sing it too. Nothing if not cultured, me….

Children love a bit of nonsense. I’ve never quite grown out of it myself!

I’ve been trying to remember when I first sang this one. Was it when I was a brownie or was it the youth club camping trips. Though come to think of it the youth club sing-songs were usually led by the rugby lads so probably not! Anyway, love it!
