So went the song we used to sing at school...
"...first you [something] your pancakes
then you toss your pancakes
Tuesday day is Pancake Day
Let's dance our cares away
Hop-sa Leisela
Hop-sa Marion
Dance our cares away
And a second verse finished with 'Dance-a Leisela, Danse-a Marion..."
But I can't find any reference of it anywhere.
To make basic pancakes you'll need eggs, flour and milk:
Top row: Stroud Green, Warren Street, New Cross, Stoke Newington
Middle row: Hampstead, Spitalfields, W1, Brixton
Bottom row: Brick Lane, Amwell St, De Beauvoir, Bloomsbury

Nice song I remember my time in school!!!
ReplyDeleteI've had this song in my mind too and although your words are slightly different to how I remember it, this is what I recall:-
ReplyDeleteToss saint sizzler, toss saint sizzler
Do do do do do do
Toss saint sizzler, toss saint sizzler
Do do do do do do
First today is Sunday
Then tomorrow's Monday
Tuesday day is pancake day
Lets dance our cares away
I have made a YouTube clip of the tune

That's brilliant Ellie!
ReplyDeleteYour tune is perfect – exactly the tune I know!!
I am sure there must be all sorts of derivatives words-wise
This is how I remember it from school.....
ReplyDeleteFor today is Sunday
Then tomorrow's Monday
Tuesday day is pancake day
So dance your cares away
Hop-sa Liesela
Hop-sa Marion
Now you've made your pancakes
Hop-sa Liesela
Hop-sa Marion
Now you've finished your work
Put on your silken dresses
Braid your flacks and tresses
Tuesday day is pancake day
So dance your cares away
Hop-sa Liesela
Hop-sa Marion
Dance your cares away.
This is how I remember it from being in the school choir 65 years ago.....
Thanks! Happy memories. I used to love singing all the songs at schools (even the hymns)!
