Name: Long Ago Connections
Duration: P00H02M46S
Description: The opening song combines two older tunes in a medley to set up the story. "Long Long Ago" was one of the first songs I learned on the piano and I remember my grandfather singing "Dem Bones" to me even before that. I changed up the words to "Dem Bones" - but more about that later!

lyrics

Tell me the tales that to me were so dear
Long, long ago, long, long ago
Sing me the songs I delighted to hear
Long, long ago, long ago

Oh, the baby's connected to the Mama
And the Mama's connected to the Papa
And they're both connected to the Grandma
And the Grandma's connected to the Grandpa
And they're all connected to each other,
And they're all part of family.

So, tell me the tales that to me were so dear
Long, long ago, long, long ago
Sing me the songs I delighted to hear
Long, long ago, long ago
Long, long ago, long ago
Long, long ago, long ago
