There was a little man:

My father used to sing a certain silly song. I wondered whether that song was, by chance, dropping out of sight forever, so I looked it up on the Internet. No fear, it's here. My link points only to the words, but it looks like the melody will survive okay as well. Here's a sample of the lyrics:
The chambermaid came to my door
"Get up, you lazy sinner!
We need those sheets for table cloths
And its almost time for dinner."

My Dad's favorites were
"the daring yaung man
on the flying trapeeze"

"Ivan Skavinsky Skivar"
(Abdullah Abulbul Ameer)
and
"My Darling Clementine"

Hering boxes
without topses
Sandals were
for Clementine.

Fun.

were also favorites of my father. My how times change. I just can't imagine people getting into such things in this electronic universe.
