I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

and here:
Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle
Little sack of sugar I could eat you up
Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle
Little sack of sugar I could eat you up
Hey, hey, hey, little sack of sugar
Ho! Ho! Ho! Little sack of sweet
Hee, hee, hee, my pretty little angel
So pretty, pretty, pretty I could eat your feet
Hey, hey, hey, little honey-bunny
Ho! Ho! Ho! Little turtle dove
Hee, hee, hee, little sack of 'taters
So pretty, pretty, pretty I could eat your toes
Hey, hey, hey, my tootsie wootsie
Rangle, tangle, dangle and a honey and a tree
Ho! Ho! Ho! My butterfly-flitters
So pretty, pretty, pretty I could eat your nose
Goo goo google and a coo and a cuddle
Kick your foot like a bicycle pedal
Pretty little hoe down and a one eyed frog
So pretty pretty pretty I could gobble you whole
Jiggle, jiggle, jiggle, jiggle tickle, tickle, tickle, tickle
Little sack of sugar I could eat you up
