My daughter loves this book. Until I saw the film I had no idea how to sing the song. Needless to say, my version is a little different. Nice post.

It's a great song, either with the audience participation, or without.

Nice. I listened to lots of Pete Seeger when I was tyke in the late 60s/early 70s. Then I got older and listened to other music, etc. and didn't give Pete a second thought until years later when my sister had a son and we decided to get him a collection of all the old records we listened to and loved as kids. Re-hearing songs like Which Side Are You On, that we sang along with but didn't really understand as five year olds, was eye opening to say the least. In retrospect, it's not surprising we all turned out to be bomb-throwing lefties.

If you have small children Seegers Birds, Beasts, Bugs & Fishes Little & Big which includes this song is pretty uniformly excellent.
