katyjay 5,091 Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 We all chanted rhymes with our friends as kids, I wonder if they're still around? Here's one I remember. Hark, hark the dogs do bark The beggars are coming to town Some in rags and some in bags And some in a velvet gown 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No mention of Kitty McShane on the poster picture...his real life wife and on-stage daughter... Saw them at the old Empire in the 50's. Even to a gullible 12 year old, it was like watching paint dry.
