Three on a broomstick and Hermione said, Roll over, Roll over
Three on a broomstick and Hermione said, Roll over, Roll over
So they all rolled over and Hermione screamed
Ron puked his guts up but Harry didn't notice
Please remember to never try this stuff at home kids
Broomsticks they are only made for one, two

Two on a broomstick and Hermione said, Roll over, Roll over
Two on a broomstick and Hermione said, Roll over, Roll over
So they all rolled over and Hermione screamed
Harry fell off but was caught by a tree
Please remember to never try this stuff at home kids
Broomsticks they are only made for one

One on a broomstick and Hermione said, Roll over, Roll over
One on a broomstick and Hermione said, Roll over, Roll over
But the broomstick wouldn't listen and she fell off anyway
Got hooked up by her robes on a brach along the way
Please remember to never try this stuff at home kids
And the little broomstick it flew on.

I really must do a compilation of coach songs at some point.

Ten in a bed and the little one said, roll over, roll over
Ten in a bed and the little one said, roll over, roll over
So they all rolled over and one fell out
Hit the floor and gave a shout
"Please remember to tie a knot in your pajamas
Single beds are only made for one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine"

(I'm sure you can extrapolate the rest.)

I'm trying to remember where I know the "tie a knot in your pyjamas" bit from-- I never learned it as a child. I suspect it may be from Hannah, but I'm not certain.

You may not have learnt it as a child.... but I did :D

The Singing Kettle :)

I really don't know what that is. It wasn't where Fenella lived...

The Singing Kettle are a children's singing/entertaining group, who sing traditional and weell-known children's songs, usually Scottish or with a Scottish twist. (I'm finding this very hard to sum up without making it sound a lot more formal than it really is). Things like the Jeely Piece song, Aiken Drum, a version of the music man, with bagpipes that go huff and puff and huff and puff. That kind of thing. You might like them ;)
They do that version of ten in a bed.
