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!”
