Do you remember any childhood songs?

So every now and then a song from my childhood will pop into my head. Today it was this one:
Swimming swimming
In a swimming pool
When days are hot
And days are cold
In a swimming pool
Left stroke
Breast stroke
Fancy diving too
Oh don't you wish you never had
Anything else to do...
BUT....
then it restarts...

There are so many, I'm going to post a few more that I remember.

Lundi matin le roi ,
la reine et le petit prince
sont venus chez moi
pour me serrer la pince,
mais comme j'etais pas la,
le petit prince a dit,
puique c'est comme ca
nous reviendrons mardi!

Then you would start over but instead of lundi you would say mardi and so on, this was, I guess, to learn the days of the week. CUTE!

Translation:
Monday morning, the king,
the queen and their little prince
came to my house
to shake my hand
but since I wasn't there
the little prince said
Since it's like that,
we will come back tuesday!

Another:

Meunier tu dors
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop vite
Meunier tu dors
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop fort
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop vite
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop fort
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop vite
Ton moulin ton moulin va trop fort

The last part of that song we would sing really fast and get faster and faster, that's all I remember. haha, gotta love french Canadian children's songs.

More to come...
