Sometimes called ‘The hermaphrodite song’ as worms are • hermaphroditic like slugs - but it still takes two to tango! • I first came across this song in ‘Sing a Merry Song’ by William Clauson and Basil Swift published in 1962. In 1975 it was published in ‘Sing’ by the Australian Broadcasting Commission - I picked up a copy recently in a charity shop in England! • My NEW website https://riverofsong.uk/ is a treasure trove of song featuring all my recent videos, new collections and also many compilations from my ‘Singing games for children’ site. It is user friendly, inviting and interactive. Do visit and let me know what you think of it.
