The P.2-3 love to begin each music lesson each week by singing ‘The Rattlin’ Bog’ which one of the pupils suggested that we should sing as he thought the structure was very similar to one of the songs that we were singing last term. Both songs are ‘cumulative songs’ which is a song with a simple verse structure modified by progressive addition so that each verse is longer than the verse before. I think the bairns did well to remember all the words and to also fit them in, as the song is quite fast.
Above is a recording of P.2-3 singing the song and below is the Youtube recording that they sing along to:
