Surely someone must remember this.
Played on a piano, all eighth notes. Every C is middle C except for the last three, which are an octave below.

Moving over to CS for you.
A above middle C or below?
Thanks Idle Thoughts.
The whole thing is a descending line below middle C.
Gah, it’s the ending bit to a children’s song, like a nursery rhyme song! Cannot dig it out…
Ok, the one I am thinking of starts at Middle C, goes above then below for A and G, then back to Middle C and above and down again.

Try here? Thinking back I think that might have been just a beginner’s piano exercise. For some reason though I picture cartoon characters whiling away time bored… I think it’s one they made you play on one hand while the other played Swanee River, at that! (To teach syncopation, I think?)
I’m thinking it’s an exercise too. I kind of associate it with my brother taking lessons as a kid.
Eventually he played it as fast as he could?
That I don’t remember.
Go try that site? They have a key assist feature, press ctrl to make the notes linger some. You can mouseclick to get the notes, Middle C is the third C from the left, it corresponds to “T” on the keyboard.
Ok, using the keyboard cheat thing here’s the song I remember that had those notes for an ending.

Try that and see if it is what you mean? The one I remember was supposed to be played getting a little faster with emphasis on the last three notes. Sometimes it started with a Middle C, but not always
Ok, I misremembered, this song was in the same section of the song they combined with Swanee River to teach syncopation. But it was Humoresque + Swannee River for that! Gah! Remembering more and more about that book! Wish I still had it…
That’s one of those things that lots of kids play when they can get their mitts on a piano. You play it on the black keys, starting with F# (or the Bflat above that, since you are starting with what I consider to be the second note).
Also I am probably throwing in ornamental notes, I remember it can be simpler. I think it could end t89000 Silvorange, but it does have some kind of name or I remember at least that the lesson did!
Gah! Ok, correction!

And the lyrics are the nursery rhyme “Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater”
It is, in fact, an excerpt from Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater. Transposed into the key of C (the all black keys version is F#), and sung with the lyrics “pumpkin shell and there he kept her very well.”
The entire song would go:
ECDC | ACGC
ECDC | ACGC
ECDC | ACGC
ECDC CCC
Where the bolded letters are in the octave above Middle C, and the italicized ones are the octave below.
