My mother used to say little rhymes and songs and stuff around the house when I was growing up. Some of them were things she learned in school (she was born in 1924), but the following one is kind of strange. I wonder if anyone has ever heard it and/or can tell me the origin of it. It almost sounds like something from an old-time radio ad or something.
Here goes:
“Today’s the day
they give babies away
with a half a pound of tea.”
