(I just ran across your chat column because I was looking for the song on I-tunes, thinking it would be fun to find a copy for my kids- but I didn't know the song title or who it was who sang it 'way back when.) The song as it was played on Lawnie and Golden's victrola was quite lengthy, so I am not sure why Hitchcock would have needed to make up extra verses. Not too many people still had usable victrolas leftover from their younger days as my neighbors did! But anyway, I have never heard the song again until a few years ago when I watched "The Birds" for the first time and was surprised to hear the children singing it. well, actually my neighbors were ancient by then, too. It sounded pretty ancient already by then (in the 80's). My neighbors in rural Missouri used to have this song on one of the old records that they would occasionally get out and play on their victrola. Re: Interesting Song Lyrics from Hitchcock's 'The Birds' Does anyone else remember this tune or this scene from the film? I just thought I'd share my findings with any fellow MiceChatters who might have always wondered what those school kids were singing that made those birds peck their little eyes out. Ristle-tee, rostle-tee, hey donny dostle-tee, knickety-knackety, retro-quo-quality, willoby-wallaby, Now, now, now!Īltogether it is a very interesting song. Ristle-tee, rostle-tee, hey donny dostle-tee, knickety-knackety, retro-quo-quality, willoby-wallaby, Now, now, now! I brought her off by the light of the moon. Ristle-tee, rostle-tee, Now, now, now! She gave me my hat and she showed me the door! Ristle-tee, rostle-tee, hey donny dostle-tee, knickety-knackety, retro-quo-quality, Now, now, now!
Ristle-tee, rostle-tee, Now, now, now! The cheese took legs and ran away! Ristle-tee, rostle-tee, hey donny dostle-tee, knickety-knackety, retro-quo-quality, willoby-wallaby, Now, now, now! Here is the song as it is sung in the film: (Am I the only one? lol) I finally decided to google for the song or the lyrics, and to my surprise, I actually found the lyrics. Ever since I first saw Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, the song that the school children sing while the birds gather outside of the schoolhouse has haunted me.
