Listen and Learn Music: Jingle Joe

Jingle Joe


Happy Tuesday! It's another gray day, but it's always sunny inside the walls of the Hope Institute :) I have been burning CDs and preparing materials for May all morning, so I thought I'd take a break and do a little blogging. Yesterday as I was brainstorming new song ideas, a character popped into my head. His name happened to be Jingle Joe, and he plays the tambourine. So I opened up a new Word document, and immediately, the lyrics to "Jingle Joe" came pouring out of my fingers. The melody came just as quickly, and this is the result:

Jingle Joe is a guy I know,
I saw him just the other day.
His hair was green, and he had a tambourine,
And he taught me how to play.

He showed me how to jingle, jingle!
Tap the tambourine against my hand,
Jingle, jingle,
Jinglin’ with Joe, he’s the tambourine man.
He showed me how to shake it high, shake it low.
Shake it fast, Shake it slow.
Tap against my hand,
Jinglin’ with Joe, he’s the tambourine man.

Jingle Stu, well I know him too,
I saw him just the other day.
His hair was red, and this is what he said:
I have a tambourine and I’m gonna play.

He showed me how to jingle, jingle!
Tap the tambourine against my thigh,
Jingle, jingle,
Jinglin’ with Stu, he’s the tambourine guy.
He showed me how to shake it high, shake it low.
Shake it fast, Shake it slow.
Tap against my thigh,
Jinglin’ with Stu, he’s the tambourine guy.

I think next month we'll dust off the old tambourines and jam to this tune. Maybe I'll even add a few verses...I think Joe and Stu need some female counterparts :) Well it's time to get back to work - so long for now!
