Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher gut  
Mutilated monkey meat  
All the things teachers eat.  
Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts  
And I forgot my spoon

The word teacher could be replaced with the name of the person you happen to be mad at that day. ÿþ

Great big gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts,  
concentrated piggy nose  
suppinated birdie toes  
french fried eyeballs floating in the poodle’s blood  
darn it I forgot my spoon but there’s a straw…

My co-worker however remembers it as

Some people eat hamburger meat  
Some people eat potatoes  
Some like to chew on their Irish stew  
or eat it with ripe tomotoes  
but I dream of…  
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts  
mutilated monkey meat  
chopped baby birdie feet (or baby parakeet)  
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts and me without my spoon

Great big piles of greasy grimy gopher guts

Next verse:  
Great big piles of Petrified Pelican Puke

Next verse:  
Great big piles of Mangelised Monkey brain

All verses finished with \*… and me without a spoon.

Oddly enough, my childhood version is not listed:

Great green gobs of greemy grimy gopher guts  
Manulated monkey meat  
French-fried froggy feet  
Salted eyeballs floating in a pool o’ pus  
With scabs on top  
Dried vomit toooooo…
