This catchy nonsense tune dates back to the 1840s. Our arrangement offers four verses: two verses singing, followed by the melody played on kazoos, then another two verses singing headed to an ending. The intro, interludes, and countermelodies feature a great "fiddle" duet.
We have provided an optional rhythm sticks part for the kazoo section, though you should feel free to add any percussion parts you like to your performance. An extracted rhythm sticks part is included, as are the two fiddle parts, in case you have your own fiddlers to play along. (from Music K-8, Vol. 29, No. 5)
