Songs I Never Got as a Kid

1) "Shoo Fly." Until my youth, maybe even teenagerhood, I always wondered what a shoe fly was.

2) "Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter Be?" Again, until my youth, I wondered about the elusive lava-tree, and how seven old ladies managed to get stuck in it.

3) "Frere Jaques" went something like this until I learned French: "fraira jaqua, dormez vous, sonna mede tina, ding dang dong."

I never would have known the real third section to Frere Jacques if you hadn't posted this and I hadn't googled the lyrics.
