May I also use this opportunity to link on here a Nursery rhyme that was available in shops in India in the early 1960s. I have the original 45 RPM record of about 20 rhymes, but this one is about the Ten Little Nigger Boys"

cf http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Then_There_Were_None

One can find perhaps both some musical and some moral* progress in DTH's interpretation:

"Zehn kleine Jägermeister"

Einer für alle, alle für einen
Wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen
Einmal triffts jeden, ärger dich nicht
So gehts im Leben, du oder ich

Einmal muss jeder gehn
Und wenn dein Herz zerbricht
Davon wird die Welt nicht untergehen
Mensch ärger dich nicht!


-Dave

* One for all and all for one
Who's going to cry if someone is done?
It happens to us all, don't get upset
To you and to me, on that you can bet

It's an exit that we all will make
Even if your heart may break
The world doesn't stop for it
Dude -- don't get upset!
