How beautiful. I remember this song from back in Holland. I think it was a radio show called the Family Doorsnee or something. It started with this song. That's how I learned my English back in 1954.

@@HaHaLooLoo right...this "eggs" was a euphemism for sex for the censors...and for fun.

This song reminds me of a great put down word. Back in the 70's my friend was always using cheesy chat up lines, one was " How do you like your eggs in the morning?" He tried it on a girl one night and got back "Unfertilized" Classic.

My grandmother recently mentioned that she likes this song and she's very reserved so she doesn't tell others at lot of things she likes so I had to listen to it and I'm not disappointed! It's so cute and lovely just like my grandmother ♡
