Help with a Song 'Singing and Swinging'


There is a song that I loved that Sharon, Lois and Bram sang on the elephant show, but I don't think they ever recorded it on a cd. It appeared on the beginning of an episode and they were in an apt. with several of the kids. It goes something like. "The singing and swinging will soon be over, soon be over, soon be over/The singing and swinging will soon be over...all over this land. All over this land my children, all over this land. All over this land my children all over this land" (land might actually be town, not sure) As the song progressed, other words were put in the place of singing and swinging, Also it may be spelled singin' and swingin', not sure. If anyone remembers this song or episode or can tell me the name I would appreciate it. I love this show! I wish it was still on. I would sooo watch it...and I am 23! :) I loved them all, but Lois was my favorite! THANKS, Heather

Hi Heather! I can help you! :)
The name of the song is "Meeting in the Building" and it was sung on the SOAP BOX DERBY episode of the Elephant Show.. THere was a video made of that episode, but it is VERY hard to find...
and you are in luck too.. it WAS recorded onto their 1981 album "In the Schoolyard" which was just released onto CD for the first time earlier this year!
If you go to Ebay or Casablancakids.com and type in Sharon, Lois & Bram, you should be able to find a copy of the CD there. It is also available on LP Record and Cassette, but with a different cover art.

HOpe that helps and i'm glad that you enjoy Sharon, Lois & Bram too. I love them as well and i have most of their videos and albums, etc...
