Nursery rhymes bring back memories...
I have this CD of nursery rhymes done instrumental chill out style to encourage sleep. It only really works on me...
I think the idea is you sing to your baby. One of the songs is called Brother John. I was taught it as Frere Jacques and I am not French...
Frere Jacques, Frere Jacques Dormez vous? Dormez vous? Sonnes les matines, sonnez les matines, Din, din, don. Din, din, don.
I was surprised to find an English version. How cosmopolitan am I?
Are you sleeping, are you sleeping? Brother John, Brother John, Morning bells are ringing, morning bells are ringing Ding Ding Dong, Ding Ding Dong.
But the Dutch version is a classic...
Vader Jacob, Vader Jacob, Slaapt gij nog, slaapt gij nog, Alle klokken luiden, Alle klokken luiden, Bim, bam, bom, bim, bam, bom.
I don't know how you say it never mind SING it. Lucy Beth looked at me like I was an arse when I attempted to sing the dutch version.
I have decided singing this alone in a pub will be a dare for a hen night I am organising.
And some people think motherhood is dull...
