June 4th is Do-Dah Day – A Salute to Silliness. No, I’m not making it up. It really is Do-Dah Day. So here are a few songs that might be fun to sing & share at an intergenerational Do-Day Day Celebration.

  • Camp Town Races (For the pleasure of singing do-dah!)
  • I’m Being Swallowed by a Boa Constrictor
  • There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly
  • Mairzy Doats
  • Down By the Bay
  • Father Abraham Had Seven Sons
  • Skinamarinky Dinky Dink
  • I’m a Nut
  • Ragtime Cowboy Joe
  • I’m Going Crazy
  • I’m a Little Piece of Tin
  • There’s a Hole in the Bottom of the Sea
  • There was a Crooked Man
  • On Top of Spaghetti
  • Flying Purple People Eater

    I had never heard of Do-Dah Day until I read your post! I am SO doing some of these songs tomorrow, in honor of Saturday’s holiday. I might even suggest doing them at our intergenerational summer Sunday School that starts this week. Thanks for the inspiration!
