James, I don't know the music, but years ago (as Dylan Thomas would say,
"When there were wolves in Wales") my cousin sang a song she learned at
school for me. She sang "Jay par-diddle-dee-doe me clarinet ta" over
and over again, she was probably in third grade. You can ask the
Sisters of Mercy in Red Bluff CA, they taught it too her.
