If you don’t mind my asking, where did you grow up? I’ve actually wondered before how regional that “variation” was.

I grew up in San Diego (as, I believe, did the OP), and heard that version in the schoolyard.

For me, San Diego. Race was a non-issue in my house. I was taught that people are to be treated equally, and that The N-Word™ was a Bad Word. Other than that, race was never brought up. But being in San Diego, one is exposed to it nonetheless.

San Diego me, too! And, yep, I heard that version too.

I’d never heard “nose like a beagle” but I’m using it from now on!

Davy, Davy Crockett…King of the wild frontier. At least, that’s what my memory is telling me.

“Yellow, Yellow Belly…where you gonna run to, now?”

“Look, ma, it’s Yellow Belly!” ::BLAM:: [in the back]

“You shot my son!” ::BLAM:: [also in the back]

Pre-internet memes are interesting. I wonder how long it took to travel from coast to coast back then.

Instantly, as in light was panting trying, and failing, to keep up. Kid Memes are all wibbly-wobbly, quantum-wantum like that and scientists can’t explain it.

I am only half exaggerating. Kid Memes are the best support for a Collective Unconscious I’ve found.

I grew up in Pennsylvania in the 60s during the show’s original run, so everybody knew the theme.

There are a number of books which collect children’s versions of songs. One of them is Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts by Josepha Sherman and T. K. F. Weisskopf. I was one of the many people who contributed a little bit to that book.
