    I've remembered a song we learned for Joseph and his Multicolour Dreamcoat-I dunno if twas a real song or if the teacher randomly made it up.It went to a kind of Elvis Presley like melody and twas reeeaaally cheesey:

    "Well I was walkin alone by the banks of the river,when 7 fat cows came outa the Nile
    Ahaha,bop showaddy waddy.
    And right behind those well-fed animals were 7 other cows,skinny and vile
    Ahaha,bop showaddy waddy.
    We-ell the thin cows ate the fat cows which I thought was too good
    Ahaha,bop showaddy waddy.
    But them cows were still as thin as they'd ever,ever been......
    Hey Joseph,wont ya tell me what it means.
    He-he-he-hey Joseph,
    Wont ya tell poor old pharaoh what to do."

    Once upon a time back in the day in primary school I was learning the Guitar, and was taught Michael row your boat ashore :)

    I remember "Jesus sat down in the shade of a tree".

    And for some reason, this one came into my mind tonight.

    All the nations of the earth, praise the Lord who brings to birth.
    The greatest star, the smallest flower.
    Al-le-lu-ia.

    I dunno if anyone remembers but there was one we learned called Harrembay or something?....

    One of the verses was something like

    Here at home in Ireland our complaints are few,
    We can look around and find so many things to do,
    Seeds and schools and factories with plently and to share,
    With people near and far away to make our lives more fair...

    Harrembay harrembay harrembay, lets grow together,
    Harrembay, day by day

    (dont think the words were Harrembay though)

    There was one about zachaus too...

    Zacheus was a tiny little man,
    He frightened all the people in the land,
    If their rent they couldnt pay he would take their home away,
    and their furniture and everything they had


    something like that!

    Classic, Our class had its own version, One the teachers weren't happy about. It went like this

    Far away in Belfast where people were so poor,
    Found out with a little help they could bomb much more,
    Bombings in the factories bombings in the bay
    Everyone decided that they'd call it IRA
    IRA IRA IRA Lets bomb together...

    There was one other song I remember was Little Drummer Boy, pa rum pum pum pum me and my bum...

    Jesus, Jesus,
    Jesus in the morning
    Jesus in the noon time,
    Jesus when the sun goes down...


    And


    Peeeeeeeeace is flowing like a river
    Flowing out through you and meeeeeee
