Work The new song The Goose Is Dead describes the final fate of the animal and serves as a counter-melody to the children's song Aunt Rhody.
Lyrics
Performance Always start by establishing the Footsies at Level 0. In this case, both songs are at the same level and will start on L(eft foot), 0+3for Aunt Rhody and 0+1 for The Goose Is Dead. Beat R, L, R before you start singing. Sing Aunt Rhody followed by The Goose Is Dead and make a loop of the 2 songs, leaving no "space" between them. The children, in unison, will gradually join you. Then you divide the participants in 2 equal groups, start the first group singing Aunt Rhody, and when they reach The Goose Is Dead, start the second group singing Aunt Rhody. This produces the polyphony of the 2 simultaneous songs, and the loops in both groups allow you to keep it going as long as required.
