I have recently written a new song for Miss McLean's Primary 5 class at St. Benedict's Primary School, Glasgow. It is about the process of mummification and uses the melody from 'Row, Row, Row, Your Boat', making it very simple and easy to learn.
| Wash, wash, the bo-dy. (the) Brain comes out the nose. Mum-mu-ma, mum-mu-ma, mum-mi-fi, -ca-tion. This is how it goes. Take out liv-er, lungs. Sto-mach, in-tes-tines. Put them all in to the can-op-ic jars. (to) Keep them all pri-stine. Leave the bo-dy in Salt then wrap up tight. Place it all in to a sar-coph-a-gus. (In)side it’s dark as night. Then they placed it all. In a tomb be-low. Mum-mu-ma, mum-mu-ma, mum-mi-fi, -ca-tion. This is what we know. |  |
