<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Ron, Thanks for sending those links again.
I had missed them. It has now been proven. The songs are not identical. ( But
we had a nice afternoon singing all those childhood songs) Jacqueline<br><br>----------<br></span></font><br>From: <span id="_user_globalmoose@t-online.de" style="color: rgb(91, 16, 148);">Global Moose Translations <<a href="mailto:globalmoose@t-online.de">

it's one of those standard tunes for a children's song that you find
all over the world... you know, like the common tune for Twinkle
Twinkle little star / The alphabet song / Altijd is Kortjakje ziek /
Morgen kommt der Weihnachtsmann.<br><br>But since you asked, here are
some fragments of another Dutch song to the same tune, maybe you know
that one... luckily I don't remember all of it. ;-)<br><br>Drie rovers kwamen van heel ver, gewapend met een lucifer.<br>Fi di ral dal dal, fi di ral dal dal, fi di ral dal dal dal dal.<br><br>De rovers waren heel bekwaam, ze klommen door het WC-raam. Fi di ral... etc.
<br><br>De eerste rover heette Piet, de tweede rover was er niet.<br><br>De derde rover heette Klaas, die maakte soep van tenenkaas.<br><br>De opa van een jaar of honderd werd met een klap van de trap gegooid.<br>(the humorous part being that "gedonderd" would have rhymed").
<br><br>There must be more verses, I'm sure.<br><br>I
have some special memories of the "Vogelhochzeit"; many years ago, when
my sister lived near the Hoek of Holland, we were going to Hameln in
Lower Saxony by car together, a drive of about five hours. Her son was
a little over a year then, and at some point, he started to cry, so we
tried to calm him down by singing. But the only thing that could keep
him quiet was the bloody "Vogelhochzeit", and so we had to go
"fidirallala" for two hours straight! Of course, we ended up making our
own verses, in the end phase they all sounded a lot like "and if you
don't shut up now, something horrible will happen!"<br><br>By the way, the kid grew up to be a music producer... ;-)<br><br>Gabriele Kahn<br></div><span class="q"><br>----------<br><br></span>From: <span id="_user_victorie.a@home.nl" style="color: rgb(200, 137, 0);">
