“Sweet Georgia Brown” was composed in 1925 by Ben Bernie, Maceo Pinkard, and Kenneth Casey. It was written for the daughter of Georgia State House of Representatives, Miss Georgia Brown. On the occasion of her birth the Georgia General Assembly decided she would be named after their state. This decision is referenced in the song’s text, “Georgia claimed her – Georgia named her.”
Singing with your children is a great way to build special moments with them. Songs like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Old MacDonald, and Bingo are some of the songs every child should learn. They are fun to sing too!

Bingo – Origin/History
“B-I-N-G-O” is an English language children’s song. The origin is obscure. The first verse presents the complete song. Additional verses are added by omitting one letter with each verse and clapping or barking in the place of the deleted letter. The earliest reference to the song is from a piece of sheet music which was published in 1780. The song is attributed to the actor, William Swords.
An early version of the song is as follows:
The farmer’s dog leapt over the stile, his name was little Bingo, the farmer’s dog leapt over the stile, his name was little Bingo. B with an I — I with an N, N with a G — G with an O; his name was little Bingo: B – I – N – G – O! His name was little Bingo.

Music composition can refer to any original piece of music, vocal or instrumental. People who create new original works are called composers. People that write original songs are called songwriters. People that write lyrics to these songs are called lyricists. Lyrics are sometimes created before the song is written. Sometimes lyrics after the song is written. In the Western world, composed music is often written down in music notation. When large works are composed, the composer decides on the notes and rhythms that will be played and which instruments will play them. Songwriters often limit the notation of their song to a lead sheet, which includes the melody, lyrics and chords. Musicians read the lead sheet and decide how the music will be performed.

“Mary Had a Little Lamb” was inspired by a true story. It was at the suggestion of her brother that Mary Sawyer took her lamb to school. The school mentioned is believed to be The Redstone School, built in Sterling, Massachusetts in 1798. It now stands in Sudbury, Massachusetts.
“Mary Had a Little Lamb” Lyrics
Mary had a little lamb,
its fleece was white as snow;
And everywhere that Mary went,
the lamb was sure to go.
It followed her to school one day,
which was against the rule;
It made the children laugh and play,
to see a lamb at school.
And so the teacher turned it out,
but still it lingered near,
And waited patiently about,
till Mary did appear.
“Why does the lamb love Mary so?”
the eager children cry;
“Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know”,
the teacher did reply.
