Scab sandwich  
Spit on top  
ooooey goooey camel snot  
crunched up bibles  
dipped in glue  
creamy diarrhea too  
I had a sandwich  
how 'bout choo?  
(A key feature of the following ditty is that between lines, you keep the beat by drawing air between your teeth in a sort of nasty sexual way, then exhaling like you are fogging a mirror, twice each)

Step on a rock  
let me smell your hairy crotch  
all the cows go moo  
you know you want some too  
won’t your mama be disgusted  
when she sees your belly’s busted  
but don’t be ashamed  
cuz your mama did the same  
I think I’ve forgotten a few lines out of each one, and I’m sure we can all get on with our lives without them.

Thanks to cable TV and George Carlin:

Ratshit  
Batshit  
Dirty old twat  
sixty-nine assholes tied in a knot  
Hooray  
Lizard Shit  
FUCK.

I saw \_\_\_\_\_ floating down the Delaware  
Chewing on his/her underwear  
Couldn’t find another pair  
Just got bitten by a polar bear  
Poor little baby died

And I also recall debating with friends whether this song meant the person being made fun of died, or the polar bear died because it caught something from biting him.

Georgie Porgie, grass and weed  
Fucked the girls and made them bleed  
When their mothers came out to play  
Georgie Porgie ran away

I remember singing this one as early as 3rd grade.

Suffocation, takes co-ordination,  
Suffocation, new game you can play.  
First you take a pillow case,  
then you glue it to your face.  
Go to bed,  
Wake up dead, whoa-oh-oh-oh  
Thankfully that’s all of the lyrics I can recall.

First you take a rubber hose,  
Then you stick it up your nose  
Turn it on  
Then you’re gone  
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Several other partial verses are rattling around my head…

I remember one weird one, but can’t remember all of it. The chorus went…

Salvation Ar-r-r-r-my  
Salvation Ar-r-r-r-my…  
and then a line I can’t remember. Then the sung part stops and you tell one of dozens of lame jokes that all follow the same formula -

In my town, the women all wear grass skirts  
BOOOO!!!  
But the men all have…weedeaters!  
YAY!!!

Then back to the chorus. All the jokes had to do with women wearing clothes of a particular material, with the ‘punchline’ being the men had something to remove them. The only other one of the dozens I can remember aside from the grass skirt one was that the women all wore paper dresses, and the men all had scissors.

This is a fun thread. I read a few of the “Glory, glory hallelujah” versions and it reminded me of a field trip I took in 4th grade. On the bus two friends and I made up at least a dozen verses to that, and were laughing our asses off. The best two I could remember are:

Glory, glory hallelujah, teacher hit me with a ruler  
Hit 'er in the heel with a motorcycle wheel  
and she don’t teach no more.

Glory, glory hallelujah, teacher hit me with a ruler  
Hit 'er in the boob with a television tube  
and she don’t teach no more.  
When I got to sixth grade and the kids were all trying out cruder words, this was a popular ditty (to the tune of If You’re Happy and You Know It):

There’s a skeeter on my peter, get it off  
There’s a skeeter on my peter, get it off  
There’s a dozen on my cousin can’t you hear the bastards buzzin  
There’s a skeeter on my peter, get it off  
When my little brother was in 4th-5th grade, the kids sang:

Joy to the world, the school burned down  
and all the teachers died  
where is the principal, he’s hanging from the flagpole  
with a rope around his neck, with a rope around his neck,  
a rooope, a rooope, around his neck.

## hi ho, hi ho it’s off to school we go with shotgun shells and guns as well hi ho, hi ho, hi ho

## Comet, it makes your mouth turn green Comet, it tastes like Listerine Comet, it makes you vomit so get some Comet, and vomit, today

I also remember that the end to the “On Top Of Old Smokey” song was:  
I opened her coffin  
she still wasn’t dead  
So I took a shot gun  
and blew off her head

Looking back on it, I think if teachers were as sensitive then as they are now, I would have been expelled many times over!

Another variation on the Batman one;

Jingle bells, Batman smells  
Robin laid an egg  
Batmobile lost a wheel  
and Joker takes ballet, HEY!

and **Badtz** ’s reminded me of one i saw scrawled on the walls of a bathroom

I ain’t a nigger,  
I’m a nigger-o  
if I see a nigger  
I’ll letcha know

not quite a song, but it’s got a nice rhythm to it…

and there was this one about Ching Chang Charlie… i’d forgotten it, though (thankfully :D). maybe someone else knows it…

When I was young we sang this…

Jingle Bells, Batman smells  
Robin flew away  
Joker lost his lollipop  
and found a milkyway

my daughter is currently practising this to delight her grandparents with…

Jingle Bells, Batman smells  
Robin flew away  
Uncle Billy lost his willy  
on the motorway

Talk about resurrecting ancient memories - this was one of our school songs:

Ta-ra-ra boom-de-ay!  
We’re off from school today  
Our teacher passed away  
We threw her in the bay  
She scared the fish away  
They found her yesterday  
Ta-ra-ra boom-de-ay!  
Ta-ra-ra boom!

OHHHHHH! Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts  
Mutilated monkey meat  
Dirty little birdie feet  
French fried eyeballs swimming in a pool of blood  
And me without my spoon, boo-hoo!

* * *

On top of Old Smokey  
All covered with snow  
I saw Annie Oakley  
Take off all her clothes  
Along came Gene Autry  
And took off his vest  
And when he saw Annie  
He took off the rest.

* * *

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord  
He is tearing up the alley in a '57 Ford…

* * *

Suffocation, takes coordination  
Sufocation, the game we like to play  
First you take a plastic bag  
Then you place it on your head  
Go to bed, wake up dead, WHEEEEEE!

* * *

Ta-ra-ra-boom-de-ay  
You’re in the family way  
There was a boy next oor  
He threw you on the floor  
He said it wouldn’t hurt  
He stuck it up your skirt  
And then your tummy grew  
Now you’re a mommy too.

* * *

Row row row your boat  
Gently down the stream  
Throw your teacher overboard  
And listen to her scream  
Eight days later walking down the Delaware  
Chewing on her underwear  
Can’t afford another pair  
Two days later eaten by a polar bear  
And that’s the end of her!

Ok, I’m not sure what dark corner of my brain these were stored in. Better question would be why they were stored at all, but here they are…  
Arty Farty had a party, everyone was there,  
Tutty Fruity laid a beauty, and we all went out for air

Push the buttons, pull the chain,  
Out comes chocolate choo-choo trains

**whatmove** - Hey, you forget second base, to keep the sequence! It’s

When you’re running into second  
And you’ve only got a second

Diarrhea (uh-uh) Diarrhea

And then there’s

Hello mutha, hello fathah,  
I’ve been smokin’ marajuana  
It is good, crack is bettah  
I’m so fucked up I can barely write this lettah.

More! More!

I don’t mean to be mean.  
But you need Listerine.  
Not a sip  
Not a swallow  
But the whole damn bottle.

How ‘bout:  
She was comin’ 'round the mountain doing ninety.  
When the chain on her motorcycle broke.  
She was found in the grass  
With the kickstand up her ass  
And her titties playing Dixie on the spokes.

To the tune of the theme from the Beverly Hillbillies

I’ll tell you a story 'bout a man named Jed  
Who went for a shit in a garden shed  
But there weren’t no toilet roll  
So out came Granny and licked his hole  
Country Style!

I can’t believe I’ve only been on the boards a week and already I’m posting this crap.

We had a mangled version of the “Rainbow” theme tune (it was a British kids show):

Up above the streets and houses,  
Bungle’s flying high,  
Opens up his hairy arse,  
And sh\*ts in Geoffrey’s eye.

Diarrhea

Bang Bang LuLu  
Bang Bang all night long  
What will we do for a midnight screw when LuLu’s dead and gone?  
Rich girl uses kotex  
Poor girl uses rags  
Poor old LuLu has to use a burlap bag
