Dingle Dangle Scarecrow

Lyrics

When all the cows were sleeping and the sun had gone to bed
Up jumped the scarecrow and this is what he said

"I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat,
I can shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that."

When all the hens were roosting and the moon behind a cloud,
Up jumped the scarecrow and shouted very loud

"I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat,
I can shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that.

When the dogs were in the kennel and the doves were in the loft
Up jumped the scarecrow and whispered very soft,

"I'm a dingle dangle scarecrow with a flippy floppy hat,
I can shake my hands like this and shake my feet like that.

Hi, I am currently exploring how to make up Rhyme bags for children, and am trying to find out which rhymes are in the public domain. This is proving tricky as I am finding contradictory answers online. Whilst investigating Dingle Dangle Scarecrow I came across your site. You say the rhymes listed on your site should be in the public domain - can I ask you if you've found a way of ensuring this? If you have - please can you tell me what it is! Many thanks - Sally.

I found out about this song on a program by the bbc called Junior Doctors. There was a very old lady who was sick in the hospital talking about her life. She said she had written songs for kids and sung this Scarecrow Song. I was touched by the story and was later looking thru some sites for kids songs and found this. I don;t know if she survived the hospital but maybe you could find the show on BBC and get more information from them or if the lady is still alive from her if you can find more info on the show. I think it was the first series of the show and maybe one of the later episodes. Cheers!

    About

    This is a collection of my favourite songs, rhymes, riddles and poems. Many of them I remember from my childhood and many of them I have discovered since then.

    I still sing many of these songs to this day, whether it is with my own children or the children that I teach at school. I find them a great means of stress relief both in and out of the classroom.

    Most of these songs should be in the public domain. You will also find that there are multiple versions for each song or rhyme. Please feel free to share your variation, request some sheet music or inform me of any funny songs that should be added to the list..
