Aiken Drum
Song Lyrics & Words
There was a man lived in the moon,
lived in the moon, lived in the moon,
There was a man lived in the moon,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And he played upon a ladle,
a ladle, a ladle,
And he played upon a ladle,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And his hat was made of good cream cheese,
of good cream cheese, of good cream cheese,
And his hat was made of good cream cheese,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And he played upon a ladle,
a ladle, a ladle,
And he played upon a ladle,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And his coat was made of good roast beef,
of good roast beef, of good roast beef,
And his coat was made of good roast beef,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And he played upon a ladle,
a ladle, a ladle,
And he played upon a ladle,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And his buttons made of penny loaves,
of penny loaves, of penny loaves,
And his buttons made of penny loaves,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And he played upon a ladle,
a ladle, a ladle,
And he played upon a ladle,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And his breeches made of haggis bags,
haggis bags, haggis bags,
And his breeches made of haggis bags,
and his name was Aiken Drum.
And he played upon a ladle,
a ladle, a ladle,
And he played upon a ladle,
and his name was Aiken Drum.

I used to have a video with nursery rhymes in it, and I will always remember this song, as in the video, they had an actor dancing around with all these foodstuffs on him, something in which the sillyness of seeing someone grown-up act this way appealed to me very much. I especially remember that in this version, his hair was made of spaghetti ! :D

I never realized that this song had set words. My son's preschool always had the children supply the parts of Aiken Drum's body, e.g., "his hair was made of French fries, French fries, French fries" "His eyes were made of olives, olives, olives" "His teeth were made of corn, corn, corn" etc, etc. This was much more fun, and can keep the children occupied for several times through...good for car rides or other waits. And if you have crayons or markers, the children can draw a picture of Aiken Drum with his carrot stick fingers and apricot ears, or whatever. Since my son is now 31, that was a while ago. I don't know if his preschool invented doing it this way, but I'm guessing not...anyone?
