The popular nursery rhyme is usually played in nurseries, early years education such as infants, reception and baby rooms. The song is easy to learn and sing along to and children love to hear it, it is upbeat and positive with a sweet sound and sometimes may send children and young ones to sleep when sung softly at bedtime. This song was released in 1939, and was originally used in a dance school learning the tap dance called the tea pot tip. The song was written by George Harry Sanders and Clarence Kelley.
