Sixth Grade Memories in Song

I do actually remember certain things very well. One of them was singing in the sixth grade in Miss Milliken's class. Our favorites were these four.

The Hiking Song | The Caisson Song | Joy to the World | I've Got Sixpence

I woke up this morning with the Hiking Song on my mind, but Google doesn't know it. 

Hiking through the fields we go
Eu ki dee Eu ki doe
Even through the ice and snow
Eu ki di ki doe 

In each season of the year
Hiking brings us health and cheer

Eu ki dee ki dee ki doe
Eu ki dee Eu ki doe

Eu ki dee ki dee ki doe
Eu ki dee ki doe

And one more little note as I read on in Stephen Pinker's 'Better Angels' and reflect sunnily on Niall Ferguson's killer apps. Civilization will continue to be civilized, and Western Culture will continue to prevail, as we go rolling, rolling home.
