![]() Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me One floor below me you don't even know me more »īecome A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons! Hey girl what ya doin' down thereĭancin' alone every night while I live right above you In the song, the singer has fallen in love with a woman who lives in the apartment directly below him but has no clue as to her interest, so he asks her to respond by either knocking three times on the ceiling (yes) or banging twice on the pipe (no), and the chorus includes sound effects of the two choices. Russell Brown and Irwin Levine, were thinking of the song Up on the Roof and they wanted to write a song with that kind of lyrical flavor, about tenement living. Outside the US, "Knock Three Times" also claimed the number-one spot on the UK Singles Chart. The song registered well at Adult Contemporary stations, reaching #2 on Billboard's "Easy Listening" survey. The song was released as a single, which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1971 and eventually sold six million copies. The actual singers were Tony Orlando, Toni Wine, and Linda November, prior to the creation of "Dawn" with Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson. Tony Orlando was not named on the record.

I find them a great means of stress relief both in and out of the classroom. I still sing many of these songs to this day, whether it is with my own children or the children that I teach at school. Many of them I remember from my childhood and many of them I have discovered since then. This is a collection of my favourite songs, rhymes, riddles and poems.
