Hello,
I’ve been looking for some time for the words to 3 different songs that my grandmother would sing or recite to me and my small children. I don’t know Czech, so all the words are phonetic guesses.
1. The first is about clapping hands. She would put the baby’s hands together when she sang it. It sounded like this:
Chop Chop Chop bu -sky
O yay — – na ruskyI know the melody for the rest of the song, but can’t think of any more words.
2. The second was something about a ram. She would butt heads lightly with the baby when saying it.
Badam badam dutz
badam badam dutz3. The third sounds like this:
Hup hup hup
Needs ner up
usku bani
hup hup hupThanks for any help!
-Sarah

Hi Sarah.
These nursery rhymes are likely Slovak.
1. the first…you know, there are many versions of this nursery rhyme
Cip, cip, ciburušky,
išly mačky na hrušky.
Podriapaly kožúšky,
pove-šaly na vráta, pride kušnier zapláta — — ši — ši, ši!
or
Tap tap tapusky
isli macky na hrusky
driapali sa na vratka
popadali do blatka
urobili bac
or
Tap tap tapusky
isli macky na hrusky
popadali do vody
podriapali kozusky

omg!!
My Grandmother used to do “Badam badam butz,
badam badam butz!” to us too!! I had forgotten all about it till i read it here!!
I am looking for a song for my Grandmother, She had an uncle or Grandfather that they used to call “Judgie Mungie” Aparently he used to sing to her and her cousins when they were little, it went “mungie mungie” I’m guessing “Judgie” meant uncle or Grandfather.
Forgive the Spellings please. Just spelling the words the way they sound, I’m sure the Czech spellings are drastically different…

Hi Dave
Maybe “Judgie” is Děda (Grandfather)
Mungie sounds like Manča – it is a girl’s name (from Mary)
Could you add more words of the song? The more the better.
What about this song? (Anča – Anna)
