**Manwithaplan** jogged my memory on this one.

To the tune of “The Beverly Hillbillies”

Come and listen to my story  
‘bout a man named Jed  
A poor mountaineer  
Couldn’t keep his wife in bed  
Then one day he was shootin’ at some food  
And out of hidin’ comes Elly Mae nude  
(Nekkid that is)

Well, the next thing you know  
Ole Jed’s over there  
Pinchin on her tits  
And pullin on her hair  
Along came Granny with a ten foot pole  
And stuck it right up Jed’s tight asshole  
(Sideways that is)  
You know that is going to be stuck in my head all friggin’ day.

I don’t remeber the whole song, but I do remember the end of it:

America, America,  
God shed his pity on thee,  
We get our kicks,  
from porno flicks,  
and pray for MTV!

Does anyone know the rest of the song?

Oh lord… here goes…

Great big gobs of  
greasy grimy gopher guts,  
mutilated monkey meat,  
all these thing so good to eat,  
and me without my spoon…

Me without my spoon…  
Me without my spoon…  
All these things so good to eat,  
and me without my spoon…

not quite a kids song but also to Jingle Bells…

Jingle Bells  
Mortar shells…  
VC in the grass  
take your Merry Christmas  
and shove it up your ass…

Have you ever thought  
As a hearse goes by,  
That you may be the next to die?

They wrap you up in a big white sheet  
And lower you down about six feet deep.

It’s okay for about a week,  
But then the coffin  
BEGINS…TO…LEEEEEAK.

The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out,  
The worms play pinochle on your snout.

Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out  
And that’s what it’s like when you’re dead.

(GOODBYE!)

This one we sung to the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic:

Oh, I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it’s hot  
And I wear my woolen skivvies in the winter when it’s not  
But sometimes in the spring time and sometimes in the fall  
I slip between the sheets with nothing on at all  
Glory, glory, halleluiah  
Glory, glory, what’s it to ya?  
Refreshing breezes running through ya  
With nothing on at all  
Another one we sang

On top of Old Smokey  
All covered with sand  
I shot my poor teacher  
With a red rubber band  
I shot her with pleasure  
I shot her with pride  
I couldn’t miss her  
She was four miles wide

And finally (to no recognizable tune):

Bang, bang Lulu, Lulu bangs all day  
Who will bang for Lulu if Lulu goes away?  
Lulu bought a tugboat, tugboat had a bell  
Lulu went to heaven, the tugboat went to  
Hello, operator. Give me number nine  
If you disconnect me, I’ll kick your little  
Behind the 'frigerator there is a piece of glass  
If you are not careful it might get up your  
Assssssk me no more questions tell me no more lies  
Boys are in the bathroom pulling up their  
Flies are in the kitchen, flies are in the park  
Boys and girls are kissing in the D-A-R-K dark, dark, dark

(That last one seemed much funnier when I was 8 years old…)

Minor lyric changes:  
Comet, it makes your _lips_ turn green  
Comet, it tastes like _gasoline_

I’m assuming there was a _real_ commercial for Comet cleanser that used the Colonel Bogey March (hope I got that right) & this is a spoof of it?

My school’s version:

On top of Old Smokey,  
all covered in blood,  
I shot my poor teacher  
with an elephant gun.  
I shot her with glory,  
I shot her with pride,  
I couldn’t have missed her,  
She’s 40 feet wide.

And for the school “slut”:

Hi Ho, Hi ho,  
It’s off to work she goes.  
She does a fuck  
and gets her buck,  
Hi ho, hi ho hi ho hi ho.

I love this thread!

Here are a few of my favorites:

Jesus Christ!  
Superstar!  
Who in the fuck do you think you are?

```
Marijuana, Marijuana
LSD, LSD
Scientists make it.
Teachers take it.
Why can't we? Why can't we?

Rudolph the bright gun cowboy
Had a very shiny gun.
And if you ever saw it, you had better run.
All of the other cowboys used to laugh and call him
name.
They never let poor Rudolph join in any cowboy games.
Then one foggy Christmas eve, Santa came to say.
Rudolph with your gun so bright, won't you shoot my wife
tonight?
```

To be sung roughly to the tune of the old Batman TV series theme music –

Batman took me to the movies,  
Batman played with my boobies.  
Batman took me to his house,  
Batman laid me on the couch.  
Batman stuck it in easy,  
Batman pulled it out greasy.  
Batman! Batman! Batman!

Another variation on an old favorite –

Great big gobs of greasy grimey gopher guts  
Little dirty birdy feet  
Mutilated monkey meat!  
French-fried eyeballs dipped in kerosene,  
That’s what we had for lunch!  
(Without a spoon.)

To the tune of God Bless America –

God bless my underwear,  
My only pair!  
I have worn them, and torn them,  
On the seat of the old rocking chair.  
From the washer, to the dryer, to the clothes line,  
Where they hang!  
God bless my underwear, my only pair!  
God bless my underwear, my owwwwn-leeee pair!

No cuss words, but clever nonetheless –

As I was walking down the street one dark and dreary day  
I came upon a billboard, and much to my dismay  
The sign was torn and tattered from the storm the night before.  
The wind and rain had done its work and this is what it bore:

Smoooooke Cola-Cola cigarettes,  
Chew Wrigley Spearmint beer.  
Kennel-Ration dog food makes your complexion clear.  
Simonize your baby in a Hershey chocolate bar.  
And Pepsi Cola beauty cream is used by all the stars.

Sooooo take your next vacation  
In a brand-new Frigidaire.  
Learn to play the piano  
In your winter underwear.  
Doctors say that babies  
Should smoke until they’re 3.  
And people over 65 should bathe in Lipton Tea  
(In flo-thu baaaaags!)

The version I knew was a bit different…

Randolph, the red-necked cowboy  
Had a very shiny gun  
And if you ever seen it  
You would drop your pants and run  
All of the other cowboys  
Uset to laugh and call him names  
They never let poor Randolph  
Play in any rodeo games  
Then one foggy Saturday night  
Sherrif came to say  
Randolph with your gun so bright  
Won’t you shoot my wife tonight?

Well, when I was in grade school this one was very popular…

“There once was a farmer who lived near a crick,  
And every night he would play with his…  
Banjo in the moonlight for the lady next door,  
You could tell just by looking that she was a…  
Decent young lady who rolled in the grass,  
And when she rolled over you could see her big…  
Legs in the moonlight – she walked like a duck,  
She promised to teach him a new way to…  
Raise up the children, the girls could all knit,  
The boys were all outside, shoveling…  
Corn and potaters, they did it quite well,  
If you don’t like my story you can go straight to…bed!”

Oh, and our version of the marijuana song went thus…

“Marijuana, marijuana,  
LSD, LSD,  
Betty Crocker makes it,  
Ronald Reagan takes it,  
Why can’t we? Why can’t we?”

There were several variants of the Old Smokey song:

“On top of the school,  
All covered with sand,  
I shot my poor teacher  
With a green rubber band…”

and

“On top of the school,  
All covered with blood,  
I shot my poor teacher  
With a gallon of mud…”

and then there was the very strange

“On top of the school,  
All covered with poop,  
I shot my poor teacher  
With a blue Hula Hoop…”

But they all had the same ending…

“I went to her funeral,  
But she still wasn’t dead,  
So I took my bazooka,  
And blew off her head!”

I just remembered one we sung to the tune of ‘Yesterday’ by the Beatles.

Syphillis, It started out with such a simple kiss  
Now it even hurts to take a piss  
Oh, why did I, catch Syphillis?

Leprousy, I’m not half the man I used to be.  
All my skin is falling off of me,  
Oh why did I catch Leprousy?

Yesterday, my dick was always coming out to play  
Now it needs two weeks to hide away  
oh why did I catch leprousy?

Why, her, box was sick, I don’t know, she wouldn’t say  
Now my, dripping dick won’t get thick like yesterday.

And the words Perry Como wouldn’t sing.  
Nothing could be finah, than to be in her vagina,  
In the Mooo-oooor-ning.

Nothing could be sweeter, than to have her lick your peter  
In the Mooo-oooor-ning.  
And I thought this board was going to be “Stuffy”.

My son Josh is sitting here and won’t leave me alone until I post this! (He’s twelve.)

Gene, Gene,built a machine  
Joe, Joe, made it go  
Art, Art, took a fart  
And blew the whole damn thing apart!

And I learned “great Green Gobs” like this…

Great green gobs of greasy, grimey, gopher guts  
Mushed up monkey ribs,  
Sterilized canary feet  
French fried eyeballs floating in a pool of blood  
And me, without my spoon!

I was a Brownie, and we used to love singing “Baby Bumble Bee”

I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee  
won’t my mommy be so proud of me  
I’m bringing home a baby bumble bee  
Ooh, eee! It bit me!

I’m squishing up a baby bumble bee  
Won’t my mommy be so 'shamed of me  
I’m squishing up a baby bumble bee  
Ooh, eee! There’s blood on me!

I’m licking up a baby bumble bee  
Won’t my mommy be so proud of me  
I’m licking up a baby bumble bee  
Ooh, eee! I’t’s strawberry!

Ahem…

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me,  
I’m going down the garden to eat worms.  
Fat ones, thin ones, long ones, juicy ones,  
Oooey oooey gooey oooey worms.  
Suck their guts out, blow their skins away,  
Nobody knows how I survive  
On worms three times a day.

NO, no! It goes like this!

Nobody likes me  
Everybody hates me  
Going to the garden to  
Eat some worrrms!  
Long slim slimy ones  
Short fat juicy ones  
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms!

First you bite the heads off  
Then you suck the guts out  
Then you throw the rest of it  
Awaaaaaay!  
Long slim slimy ones  
Short fat juicy ones  
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy worms!

Urp! comes the first one  
Hork! comes the second one  
Blech! comes the third fuzzy woooorm!  
Long slim slimy ones  
Short, fat, juicy ones  
Itsy, bitsy, fuzzy-wuzzy WORMS!

Okay, well I heard it **this** way:

You better watch out when the hearse goes by  
Cause you may be the next to die

They wrap you up in a bloody sheet  
And stick you down about 6 feet deep

Then all goes well for about a week  
And then your nose begins to leak

The worms crawl in the worms crawl out  
They start to play pinochle on your snout

Your body turns a slimy green  
Your guts roll out like whipping cream

Pleaaaaase pass the gravy!
