Ella Jenkins - You'll Sing A Song And I'll Sing A Song

It sounds like most making comments here, are within a few years of me, in terms of age (born in 1973). Off topic, on topic, if anybody has the music from the show Boomerang with Marni Nixon, especially the Goodbye song, that would be great to upload! (Bing bong bang is Boomerang!)

I was born in Seattle in 1973, where I grew up. Japanese-American. Male. I first learned this in kindergarten. I remember the "Loo pa pa pa" part! I had this song in my mind, when my Mom walked with me on the South side of Volunteer Park, South of the reservoir, and on 12th Avenue East.

🔥🔥🔥

I love to hear this lady for children's music edification.

Lyrics please! Need this for my students

My too My teacher

I remember this song from school.

Elementary song

Loved this song as a kid ❤️

This was my whole entire childhood. My mom had a signed copy of her album and we wore that thing out at home....broke it our on every rainy/snowy day! ❤

I cried while listening to this 🥺 it gave me memories of kindergarten (I’m in middle school rn)

I love Ella Jenkins!

I love this lady I met her when I was in grade school in Chicago and we went to the museum of science and industry to hear and meet and talk with her

wassup its im from 2020

I wasn't in kindergarten when I heard this, but I was in the 2nd grade, and I remember when our elementary school decided to do a little something different. They decided to take 2 months out of the school year and let us change classes and do other learning activities with other teachers. We went to my old kindergarten teachers class (which I love her so very much) and she played this song on an old record player just as she played other songs on the same one when I had her in kindergarten back in 1995. We also played with little toy instruments to the beat. It was so fun. It wasn't long after she retired and she's still living and is in her 80s , but I haven't seen her in a very long time and would absolutely love to. I'll be 31 in August. It's been 25 years now since kindergarten. It sure doesn't seem like it. How I long for the days of my childhood. Why did we ever want to become adults? Lol

In general I'm not a fan of children's songs,,,but song stands on its own in any genre...it's lovely...reminds when I was young and taught with Head Start

I like the catchy song and lyrics are easy to sing, best part was my son singing along with me and enjoying the song :)

Innocent, naive, sweet & just so lovely to sing along to.. the type of song to sing along to on a communal basis

When I was in kindergarten the teacher would play this song on our class record player i never forgotten this song haven't heard it sense till Tonite

Bakwas

I think the year was 1979 when I seen Mrs Jenkins perform live at a theater in Chicago with my 3rd grade classmates. I don't know why I remember this song but it has remained with me all of these years. I feel blessed!

I heard this when I was in preschool in 1977.

Great for African American Music/June at PS/MS 129M

I remember hearing this song performed by Raffi and kids.

Met Ella Jenkins today and I sang her a line of this song. Played this record a lot for my kids when they were young.

29 people can't sing, hum, whistle, or play a tune ..smh

BEST childhood song EVER!

I played Ms. Jenkins songs and sang them with the girls in my girl scout troops in the mid-90s. We all loved them!!

I used to play this album for my students back in the 1980's. We loved it! I am so happy to go down memory lane!!!

Love, this song. Takes me back over 40 years.

I mean CHILDHOOD!😅

Yes CHILD HOOD FOR 3rd GRADE!!

CHILDHOOD

I heard this when I was in preschool back in 1977.

Who else came because of the Etsy commercial?

I had this at my school. Shoreditch park primary school

I cut up an old record for a diy guitar pickguard I picked it purely because the title "play your instruments and make a pretty sound" an Ella Jenkins record and decided to look up on of the songs on it

I use to listen to this song when I was in Elementary School. I played this for my 10 year old niece and she came up with her own Version...YOU SHUT UP AND I'LL SHUT UP AND THEN WE'LL BE QUIET!...LOL!!!

I grew up singing this. I never knew she was from Chicago.

This is what my kids are going to grow up listening to.

That song takes me back to my early elementary years. Early 80's. My teacher playing a vinil record player suit case.

Listened to this when I was 3. Now I'm almost 15!!

Love this song, I'm thinking of choreographing to it.

Was my favorite song when I was 5, now I'm 40!!
