"Søren Banjomus" is a popular Christmas children's song from 1969 with lyrics by Otto Brandenburg based on the American song "Skiddy-mer-rink-a-doo", which was originally the closing number in the Broadway musical Echo , but which has been published in countless versions, including by composer Jules Loman in 1954 under the title "Christmas Alphabet" with lyrics by Buddy Kaye – in Danish "Juleftens alfabet" by Arvid Müller . The original song closed the 53 performances on Broadway from August to October 1910. Brandenburg's text continues the old Christmas carol "The Santa Claus Sits in the Attic" , following a mouse family's Christmas celebration. The chorus's repeated words "Skillema-dinke-dinke-du" are a direct paraphrase of the original song's "Scillemadinkedinkeding", so not all of the lyrics are due to Otto Brandenburg.
