Yeah I've heard all those sayings. But what I remember most was my Grandpa's silly little songs. Songs with wierd sounds and funny syllables making funny noises.....I remember one in particular:

Gimme an EIFFF, Gimme an IFEEE, Gimme and Eifff all day long...Eifff Eifff Eifff jack Eifff, down and out all day long...(theres more to the song but I dont remember it all)

The "f's" were accentuated to give the song the character that its suppose to portray.

It was really wierd little song...My mother now sings it to her grand kids. And now that the grand kids are older they all remember these silly little songs.

And there was another song that was sung in a language that I know had to be a made up language...I need to get my mom to write the words down and research if those words exist or are they definitely a language of that time....Hmmm got me project sounds like.
