My four-year-old, displaying the streak of eccentricity that one might
expect in a second-generation afper, has decided she wants 'luggage
songs' for her bedtime ritual. I assume she means the lower-case 'l'
variety, since she isn't yet quite old enough to read of the
Discworld, but I'm sure either would do.
Anyway, thought I'd show my face on here to a) look up old filks
involving the Luggage and b) see whether anyone had any ideas for
either luggage or Luggage songs.
So far, have got:
Pack Up Your Troubles In Your Old Kit Bag
Tempted (mainly the first two lines)
Another Suitcase In Another Hall
Pack Up Your Sorrows (I was feeling pretty stretched by then, and she
accepted it)
Any bright ideas?
Best wishes,
The Sarah formerly known as Nanny Ogg

How about the old favourite which includes travel but no luggage?

might have to fiddle the words a bit but my 4 year old niece can sing
it, even suffering from Chicken Pox, although her great-grandad was a
soldier, and me and her mother learnt it before Sean Bean came along[1].
Somewhere up the group is the discussion about the songs learned in
school including
"We three Kings of Orient are,
One in a taxi, one in a car,
One on a scooter, beeping his hooter,
Wearing a wonderbra"
"Ohhh bra of wonder,
Bra so tight,
Bra so full of beauty, right"
or
The 3 monkeys song
"3 little monkeys set off to fight.
One had a hand grenade and one had a gun
and one had a bayonet and stuck it up their 'La, La, La'"
Maybe not that one though.
I make no apologies, first generation after WW2. We tended to learn the
soldiers songs. Didn't really understand what had happened but we knew
it had been nasty.

of course...
"Jabberwocky" has all the portmanteau words...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Old_Man_%28Said_Follow_the_Van%29
Put the message in the box
Put the box into the car
Drive the car around the world
Until you get heard
"...Trousseau, seems it how Funny"
"And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear"
"I left my heart in San Francisco"
"All My Luggage" /obviously/, and you can bend an
Abba song to come out as "If It Wasn't Samsonite".
And there's "Trolly Madly Deeply".
"Anyone Who Had a Cart".
("Colonel Bogey".)
I've been watching you for days now baby
I just love your sexy ways now baby
You now my love will never stop now baby
Just put your loving in my box baby
Believe me,
You really don't have to worry.
I only want to make you happy
And if you say,
"Hey, go away," I will
But I think better still,
I'd better stay around and love you.
Do you think I have a case?
(Let me ask you to your face:
Do you think you love me?)
No milk today, my love has gone away
(and she took it with her)
No? Well, maybe,
"If you leave me now,
You'll take away the biggest part of me"

Great! But that singer is even skinnier than me after I've lost 1.5 stone
