“Glory, glory, hallelujah!  
Teacher hit me with a ruler!  
I hid behind the door with a loaded 44  
And my teacher ain’t a teacher no more!”

Not as funny now as it was in the 70’s.

Do you know what?  
What?  
Pick your butt?  
Do you know why?  
Why?  
Because it’s dry.  
Do you know how?  
With a plow.

Sung to some middle-eastern sounding song which in actuality is a Western song. (Like the snake charmers song.)  
There’s a whole in the wall where I can see it all. There’s a place in France where they do a naked dance. What saw you there. Ladies in underwear. How did you use it. With a can of Renuzzit.

I never quite understood that one…I guess we just wanted to rhyme things.

I heard it with both chicken butt and snot, but I moved around a lot and in different parts of the country it changed.

I am right, infinity to the infinite power, period. No backs. Nyah! Nyah!

HUGS!

I am right. You’re wrong, perhaps you can sing it in a song. No backs, infinity to the infinite power, period. Nyah! Nyah!

I asked my husband about the Guess What? What? game. He said they did it like this:

- Guess what?
- What?
- Your butt’s a coconut!

Exciting, huh?

When we were kids, one of these went:  
“Mine eyes hath seen the glory of the coming of the Lord  
He is coming 'round the corner in a green and yellow Ford  
He has one hand on the throttle and the other on a bottle  
Of Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer!  
Glory, glory hallelujah (or sock-it-to-ya)  
Teacher hit me with a ruler  
I bonked her on the bean with a rotten tangerine  
And she kicked me out of school!”
