Where's Hatchy Milatchy when I need her?


A tune by Rosemary Clooney on her album:  "Clooney Tunes."   Tell you what all you NEPA people.  Once you start singing this song it will be in your head for a long time...

"There's a wonderful place that you really should see/Called the Land of Hatchy Milatchy/All boys and girls love this place yes siree/ Called the Land of Hatchy Milatchy
"Peppermint candy and ice cream is free/In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy/Soda pop fountains are under each tree/In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy
"Everyone rides on a-merry-go-round/All made of sugar and spice/ Lollipops grow right out of the ground/The moon's made of strawberry ice
"If you should run and you trip and you fall/In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy/The ground's made of rubber, you bounce like a ball/ In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy
"Oh you play the whole day and you don't go to bed/In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy/Mommies and Daddies are put there instead/In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy
"Hundreds of bunnies all lay Easter eggs/In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy/Ride on a pony with candy striped legs/In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy
"Each day is always a big holiday. Birthdays and parties galore/ Dollies and bicycles given away, whenever you walk in a store
"When I return then I never will leave/The Land of Hatchy Milatchy/If you want to go all you do is believe/In the Land of Hatchy Milatchy."

Miss Judy taught us how to tie our shoes, to be nice to everybody, and basically got us ready to be good people in a bad world...But Rosemary Clooney - wow!

Not quite like Captain Kangeroo and Mr. Green Jeans.  The three magic words anyone?

  1. Please and thank you, the magic words. Should apply to our young ones today.
