Husha Husha We All Fall Fown

Husha Husha We All Fall Fown

Husha husha we all fall down

Gonna take you back a few years

Everything was exciting and new

Memories we all hold so dear

First time riding a two wheel bike

Mom thought we'd break a leg

Climbing aboard some floating ice

Painting some Easter eggs

Our first encounter with puppy love

That pretty young thing next door

Suddenly she's not just one of the guys

Feelings never felt before

An interview for our very first job

Nervous with hair all slicked down

Catching two people in the stock room

Passionately messing around

These things we all remember

With fondness and tears in our eyes

So sad we have to leave them behind

These feelings you just can't buy

Husha husha we all fall down

These memories are so bittersweet

They help us through the tough times

Making our lives complete!

Ring-a ring-a rosies

A pocket full of posies

Husha Husha

We all fall down.

The rhyme originated from the plague in London in 1665. The red rings on the skin were theย first sign of the plague. The posies were the herbs and spices carried by people becauseย they thought the disease was carried in the smell. The last part was when the person died. Theย rhyme continued to be used referencing small pox outbreaks, long after the Great Fire ofย London in 1666 burnt out the spread of plague.
