seetheworld,

The fishy song is very near and dear to this former Brownie's heart. I think the song goes:

"Have you ever seen a fishy on a cold winter day? Have you ever seen a fishy out swimmin' in the bay? With his hands in his pockets and his pockets in his pants, have you ever seen a fishy do the hootchie cootchie dance? You never have! You never will!"

Learned it almost twenty years ago and I still remember the little dance that goes with it. :D

Walked the Freedom Trail in Boston- I'm
Canadian and it still gave me goose bumps

:( Sadly, I was never a Brownie (only the 4H, hence I attended the county and state fair, lol). And it has a little dance too...How cute!

-bump?
-hussle?
