Looking for a Spring Song

Bill wrote me…

In the 50s, in Montreal, girls used to celebrate Spring with skipping ropes and elastics. While playing the elastic game they sung a “ditty” that went somewhat like this…

Yolem a Kaiser,Yokem addiay….

Do you know what I am referring to?

If anyone is familiar with this ditty, please comment below.

I also welcome other songs and poems celebrating Spring.

    I am looking for a song about the Summer in another language. I already have a song in Spanish about Spring (De Colores), a song in French about the Autumn (Couleurs d’automne), and a song in Japanese about the Winter (Yuki). Now I just need a song about the summer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Trarira, der Sommer, der ist da! – Tilitum, The Summer Has Come

    Longer version here http://www.hallo-kinder.gk-kunte.de/liedsomm.html
    More German songs about Summer (without music) are at:
