Tangle Tunes—The Chores We Do

This Tangled Tune is based off of Here We Go ’round the Mulberry Bush, a song in which children hold hands and go around in a circle. And it’s a pretty simple tune with one basic verse.

Here we go round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush.
Here we go round the mulberry bush
On a cold and frosty morning.

My version will use the same melody, but the publisher wanted to have a wider variety of verses, and that’s when I came up with the idea of doing daily chores throughout the song.

This is the way we pick up toys,
pick up toys, pick up toys.

This is the way we pick up toys
so early Sunday morning.

And the illustrations will be fun, because instead of showing children, there will be monsters doing the chores.
