Hi there.
Reading about Jay’s search for a song, which I’m pretty sure he dreamed about and doesn’t really exist, for some reason reminded me of my favorite childhood song. Whenever I ask people if they know it, they don’t, and then I’m obligated to sing it to them in its ten-verse entirety, shouting and all. So now I’m asking you, in informal-survey format: So, in doing research on the Chicago fire song, I have made an incredibly important discovery. I think this may, in fact, be the most important document ever published on the internet. OK, don’t let the fact that it’s a 100-page pdf deter you: you will be glad you downloaded, and printed, and made many many copies of it. You will be glad you passed out copies to everyone you know. Trust me. Enjoy. Jenni1 It’s the one that starts out:
Ten nights ago, when we were all in bed
Old lady Leary put a lantern in the shed…
And so on, until Chicago burns down. Apparently, it’s a girl scout classic, which is probably where I learned it, although I like to believe it’s part of the residency requirements when growing up in Chicago.
