I put Alex to bed about twenty minutes ago. She's up there singing at the top of her lungs:

Well, Joshua was said to be a mighty foe
Cause he marched right up to old Jericho
Blowed his horn and the walls come down
Better not build a wall around your home town.


More four-year-olds should be familiar with the works of the Chad Mitchell Trio. ...Although I think we should probably hold off on teaching her to sing The John Birch Society.

The Kingston Trio - MTA, perhaps? Or "With Her Head Tucked Underneath her Arm"

Peter Paul and Mary, naturally.

The New Christy Minstrels had a few good ones, though no titles are occurring to me at the moment.

and also the Limeliters' "Vasectomy" would round things out nicely.

We've been singing "With Her Head Tucked Underneath Her Arm" to her since she was a toddler. I love that song.

"Charlie on the MTA" is another one I grew up with. Later on I had some Kingston Trio albums, but I still mostly think of it as a Dad song.

Yesterday I inadvertently taught her Tom Paxton's "What Did You Learn In School Today" before I really had time to think it through.
