I remember when I was in first grade the music teacher made us sing this song in class. We sang it over and over until we remembered all the words to it. Ever since elementary I have never forgotten about that song. I even still remembered all the words to it and I'm in college now. This is my first time hearing it again since over twelve years.
I was brought up in Scotland and I remember my Mum and Dad, but my Dad in particular, singing this song to me. My parents listened to folk music of many varieties, particularly Scots, English and American. They frequented the folk clubs in Glasgow in their younger days and met a lot of good people. My Dad played guitar and banjo, still did as I was growing up, and they both loved listening to other people playing. This was one of the more light-hearted records he had and this brings back good memories. Fond memories and I miss them dearly.
I stillsing the beginning part of this song today and whistle it at work, but could not remember the name of it. Thanks for posting it and keeping it posted.😀
I had this album on cassette as a child, and this was my absolute favorite song on it! Happy 94th birthday, Pete! Thank you, Steve Johnson, for putting this up.
i had one of those dvds with children’s songs with an animation of this song. i wish I could find a clean upload of it on UA-cam but the only ones I could find have either a watermark or were recorded with a low quality camera off of someone’s tv
Does anyone remember hearing a version of this by Sean McCollough? I remember listening to it all the time when I was little but now I can’t find it anywhere.
Dang, I'm mad because I thought for sure he said, "Where IS everybody?" in a really goofy voice, and I'd been quoting that for a year at least. And now I find out all he said was, "Where am I?"
I learned this song in elementary school (40 years ago), and I remember it because we sang it a lot. But we sang it to a little different tune instead of this country banjo hick musical pace, and it sounds a lot better the way we did it.
lol who else had that chicka chicka boom boom dvd?
Me except I’ve lost it and I’m sad
I did. Used to watch it when I was a kid.
Dude that is STRAIGHT Nostalgia
Just talking about that and I looked up this song!
I did, I think I ended up giving it to a family member
This was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid...my dad used to sing it to me. RIP Pete Seeger--you brought a lot of joy to a lot of people

This is one of the funniest children stories ever. Thanks Pete, R.I.P.
AHHH MY CHILDHOOD!
Love this song. Saw Pete sing this when he visited Brown University in the mid 50's.

I brought up the page this is on and bookmarked it so I can listen to Pete whenever I feel like it -- which is often! Here's another: Abiyoyo!!
I love this song and story so much!! I had an animated video tape of this as a child!!
One of my all time favorites! I just love the silliness of it and all the crazy ani las that come to the little store.

Omgosh the last time I heard this, I was so little and listening to the LP record through big full-sized headphones at our local library 😁
Amazing!!

I've seen this short cartoon as a kid at a local library. It was from a projection screen.
I grew up with this!
I'm a grown person I still like this song because of the rrreeeeeeeeee soda pop. Or is it the ffrrreeeeeeee soda?
I think it’s free but it’s funny either way

Excuse me for asking, but whats the painting?

I think Pete Seeger sounds similar to Gene Wilder
Why did the North American fair light white skin farmer enjoy his talent to play his banjo?
