This month's "Notes on Celic Music" featured CD is Gi'me Elbow Room by Bonnie Rideout which features folk songs of a Scottish Childhood. Every one of the cuts on this CD is a child's (and adult's) delight. Lets take a look at one!

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

My brother's skinned his knee,
My mom's on the phone,
My sister's in a tantrum,
Just leave me alone!

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

The tub is overflowin'
Someone's bangin' on the door,
While the T.V.'s a'blarin',
Puppy's peein' on the floor!

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

My toast is turnin' black,
The smoke alarm has just gone off,
None of this is helping
Granny's constant nagging cough!

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

Our cat has climbed the curtains,
The baby's on the stair,
I thought I'd blow a bubble
Now there's gum in my hair!

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

I will hide in my closet,
Or lay under a bush,
To eliminate the hurry-burry's
My only wish!

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.

Oh, such a hurry-burry,
Oh, such a din!
Oh, such a hurry-burry.
Our house is in.
