Fhina is in Amsterdam - Do you remember this one?! Go listen, it'll take you back to your childhood, I promise... Here are the lyrics:
A mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning "How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam".
(Chorus)
I saw a mouse -- where? There on the stair
Where on the stair? Right there
A little mouse with clogs on -- well, I declare
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair - oh yeah
This mouse, he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it's hardly surprisin'
She sang every morning "How lucky I am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam"
(Chorus)
First they had triplets and then they had quins
A windmill with quins in, triplets and twins in
They sang every morning "How lucky we are
Living in a windmill in Amsterdam -- ya"
(Chorus)
The daughters got married and so did the sons
The windmill had christenings when no one was listening
They all sang in chorus "How lucky we am
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam"
(Chorus)
A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice
There's nobody there now but a whole load of mice

What a cute song to pass on to grandchildren. Thanks Fhina. Enjoyed it immensely.
I guess you never heard of the Great Old Sodbury Clog Disaster of '09?
Hope you are having a good time
Lots of Bretons wear wooden clogs called sabots- not as pretty as the ones in your pic.
WOw - a real blast from the past... I did my first, almost my only, ballet recital to that song!
I made a great mouse..
approx 1964
thank you for the memory:)
Those cloggs look great - but I wonder how comfortable they'd be on the old tootsies?
Very colourful picture! Did you know that clogs are also very popular in Scandinavia? They used to be once a very popular foot ware, but have gone out of fashion in recent decades, I am afraid. I used to wear many pairs of clogs in my childhood though.;))
Hope your weekend is lovely dear Fhina.;))
xoxo
question? how does fhina post blogs from amsterdam, with clogs on, in a windmill, dee dum dee dum?
SHe schedules them...and even I at home, cannot be as prolific...
bloody woman!!
l've the song by the way takes ME right back to my childhood...singing it on stage...I was fab, out of tune but FAB!! LOL
I love all those colourful and cheerful clogs!
Sure hope you are having a great time. Very neat photo with all the colors! Kind of a sad morning today, my son left to return to school.....:(
Damn, it's going to take days to get that song out of my mind now.
Ah, one of my favourites from childhood. Hope you are having a great time.
What a vivid colorful photo of handcrafted wooden shoes...and that song, Fhina, how funny. I'm afraid that those mice are a bit revolting to me...especially climbing over the woman's head and everywhere! Yikes! Have a playful week! <3
