BINGO MERCURY

This is a fun children's song with
clapping hands about the Sun and the planet closest to it - Mercury, which will
help our little friends learn to read and write the name of the Mercury.

It is written based traditional
children's song - "Bingo", also known as "Bingo Was
His Name-O", "There Was a Farmer Had a Dog", or
informally "B-I-N-G-O", is an English language children's
song of obscure origin. Additional verses are sung by omitting the first
letter sung in the previous verse and clapping instead of actually saying the
word. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 589.

The earliest reference to any form of the song is from the title of a piece
of sheet music published in 1780, which attributed the song to William Swords,
an actor at the Haymarket Theatre of London. Early versions of
the song were variously titled "The Farmer's Dog Leapt o'er the Stile",
"A Franklyn's Dogge", or "Little Bingo".

An early transcription of the song (without a title) dates from the 1785
songbook "The Humming Bird", and reads: This is how most people know
the traditional children's song.
