If you want to, feel free to edit it into pages before you print it. Important Notice: If you pick up your phone and start playing some hip tunes to yourself via push buttons you may find yourself connected to and angry Libyan. Before playing a tune be sure to do one of the following: 1- Call a friend, and bother them with your push-button madness. 2- (If using a modem) Disconnect the phone line, and turn the Modems speaker on (Issue an ATM1 command, if Hayes compatible) and enjoy. 3- Call the local 'Weather and Time' recording, or other similar Recording, and play away.. I hear these Taped Operators like music. 4- Call a friends answering machine, and bother them silly. When experimenting with this 'fun stuff' read the buttons/lyrics as a sing along 'Follow the bouncing ball' type deal, it's quite simple. Really.. Thats about all I can think of that I have to get out of the way before embarking on this joyous journey into Push-button phone song land.. Enjoy.... Ron, of course. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index of Songs contained Herein: 1- America 14- Row, Row, Row your boat 2- Twinkle Twinkle little star 15- Mary had a little lamb 3- Strangers in the night 16- California, Here I come 4- Here comes the bride 17- The old gray mare 5- A tisket a tasket 18- Pop goes the weasel 6- Here we go round the mulberry bush 19- I've been working on the RR 7- London bridges 20- Happy Birthday 8- Ring around a rosy 21- Jingle Bells 9- Old MacDonalds Farm 22- Comin' round the mountain 10- Swanee River 23- Three Blind mice 11- Shave and a Haircut 24- Yankee Doodle 12- When johnny comes marching.. 25- Rambling Wreck.. 13- Mister sandman 26- Frere Jacques 27- Auld Lang Syne ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1- America 5 5 6 1 5 9 My count-try 'tis of thee 0 0 8 0 8 4 Sweet land of lib-er-ty 8 4 2 4 of thee I sing 2- Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star 1 1 9 9 Twin-kle, Twin-kle, 0 0 9 Lit-tle star 3- Strangers in the Night 4 8 8 4 8 Stran-gers in the night 4 8 6 8 4 Ex-chang-ing glan-ces 4- Here Comes the Bride 1 3 3 3 Here comes the bride 1 9 6 6 All dressed in white 5- A Tisket, a Tasket 6 6 4 8 6 4 A tis-ket a tas-ket 8 6 6 6 9 6 4 A green and yel-low bas-ket 4 6 6 4 4 6 6 4 I wrote a let-ter to my love 8 6 9 6 0 6 4 And on the way I dropped it 8 6 4 8 6 4 I dropped it I dropped it 8 6 9 6 0 6 4 And on the way I dropped it 8 6 6 4 6 6 4 A lit-tle girl picked it up 8 6 9 6 0 6 4 and put it in her poc-ket 8 6 4 8 6 4 Her poc-ket her poc-ket 6- Here we go round the Mulberry bush 4 4 4 2 Here we go round 2 6 6 2 4 the mul-ber-ry bush 4 8 8 8 8 the mul-ber-ry bush 6 2 4 4 4 the mul-ber-ry bush 4 4 4 2 Here we go round 2 6 6 2 4 The mul-ber-ry bush 4 8 8 6 8 4 4 so ear-ly in the morn-ing 7- London Bridges 6 9 6 8 7 8 6 Lon-don bridge is fall-ing down 1 4 5 7 8 9 fall-ing down fall-ing down 6 9 6 8 7 8 6 Lon-don bridge is fall-ing down 8 6 0 4 My fair la-dy 8- Ring around a Rosey 8 8 8 6 0 4 Ring a-round a ros-y 4 8 8 8 6 0 4 a poc-ket full of pos-ies 0 4 0 4 4 0 0 4 ash-es, ash-es, we all fall down! 9- Old McDonald had a Farm 6 6 6 7 8 8 7 Old Mac-Don-ald had a farm 9 9 0 0 4 EE-II-EE-II-OHH! 4 6 6 6 7 8 And on this farm he had 8 7 some chicks 9 9 0 0 4 EE-II-EE-II-OHH!! 4 4 4 4 4 With a chick chick here 4 4 4 4 4 and a chick chick there 4 4 4 4 4 4 here a chick there a chick 4 4 4 4 4 4 ev-ry where a chick chick 10- Way down upon the swanee river 3 2 1 3 2 Way down up-on the 1 0 4 5 Swan-ee riv-er 6 8 4 2 far far a-way, 3 2 1 3 2 That's where my heart is 1 9 4 5 Turn-ing ev-er 6 5 4 2 2 4 That's where the old folks stay 11- Shave and a Haircut, Two Bits! 9 4 4 2 1 6 6 Shave and a hair-cut, two bits!! 12- When Johnny comes marching home 8 4 4 4 4 8 When john-ny comes march-ing 6 8 6 5 * 5 * home a-gain Hur-rah!

Maybe at a later date I will scrape up some more of this silliness, and bother to put it in a text file (don't hold your breath) or maybe (this is a stronger possibility) I will make some of these songs into Telix scripts, or dialing directories. That might prove to be interesting.. Hope you had as much fun as I did. ..Ron ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- \/\/orld \/\/ide |)ata Exchange... 203-226-3565 QuickBBS 2.03, 300 to 2400 Baud, 140 Megs! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Strangers in the night (c) 1966 by Champion Music Corp & Screen Gems Mr. Sandman (c) 1954 by Edwin H.
