"The Letter O Song" (See below for lyrics)
As a shanty song, "The Letter O Song" is notable for its energetic, swaying rhythm and this video is a great introduction into the origin of the song style. Tell your child about the lively shanty songs that sailors sang while they worked, and it might just encourage your child to sing "odelay all day" while they do their chores!
