Help me with the ‘snot’ rhyme

Cafe Society

Bolding mine. Major bump.

My wife and I watched our nephew play his hockey game, and we were walking to the car in the lot and she was sniffling her nose (because we live near San Francisco so it was 65 outside and of course, chilly inside the rink). As she was sniffling while walking I tried to remember this rhyme from my teenage years but I couldn’t. I did a quick search on what little I remembered (I searched on “your nose is running you may think it’s funny but it’s snot”)…

… and lo and behold one of the first hits was the dope!

Pretty cool.

I joined the dope 10 years ago because of another search, on what I can’t remember, and I’m a bit surprised that I’ve been here for 10 years already.

Hey @Orville_mogul, are you here?

I just read it to my wife and she chuckled. God I love her.

SEVENTH GRADE JOKE (Slightly bowdlerized to avoid giving offense.)

Three Beatniks are snapping their fingers as they walk down the street.

SQUARE: (To first Beatnik) How come you’re snapping your fingers?
FIRST BEATNIK: Oh, I got the beat, man!
SQUARE: (To second Beatnik) How come you’re snapping your fingers?
SECOND BEATNIK: Oh, I got the beat too, man!
SQUARE: (To third Beatnik) I suppose you’ve got the beat too?
THIRD BEATNIK: No, man. I got a booger on my finger and I can’t get it off!

23

You got the beat? Cool.

Reminds me of the bathroom scene from Silver Streak (1976)

24

The version I’d heard was much simpler:

Little fuzzy bunny’s nose was very runny
Don’t think it’s funny 'cos it’s snot

The OP’s version is better.

25

At least I’ll be remembered for something :grin:

The latest chez nous:

You can pick your friends
You can pick your nose
But you can’t pick your friends’ noses
:nose: :nose:

I know this is eight years late, but the “slide on the ice” couplet tells me that dad was acquainted with Dr. Sidney Freedman.

mmm

28

Well, you think it’s butter
But it’s snot
It’s Chiffon

29

You got it, man. Cool! :wink:

As a kid we had a line, “if you see a little green man crossing the road, don’t laugh because it’s SNOT!”

Let me make this scatological. This sounds a lot like the “Diarrhea” song we sang as kids (and into adulthood it seems)…

When you’re sitting on the pot
And you feel something hot
It’s diarrhea, it’s diarrhea!

When you’re swimming in the pool
And you feel something cool
It’s diarrhea, it’s diarrhea!

When you’re sitting on the porch
And you feel something scorch
It’s diarrhea, it’s diarrhea!

And so on.

It wasn’t just me, this dude gets it…

31

Maybe a regional or generational thing but in the 70s we always sang the chorus as “diarrhea cha-cha-cha, diarrhea cha-cha-cha”

32

To elevate the tone a bit, there’s a Tudor-era madrigal that radio presenters have to be careful about announcing: Weep, Oh Mine Eyes, And Cease Not

33

I was disappointed that the version in Parenthood had no verse for second base. Boo!

My mother in law once did a take on a certain breakfast cereal jingle: “POST!! Nasal Drip!” (instead of Post Raisin Bran).

34

I know, right? Rhyming with second, though? Maybe you could use “So you steal another bag but the smell makes you gag, diarrhea! Diarrhea!”

And the fans all start to boo 'cause your pants are full of poo, diarrhea! Diarrhea!

35

My apologies, just saw this again. Now I remember where I learned it!

36

bumping my own thread, but I just remembered another creation from my college days. This one is sung to the C is for Cookie tune from Sesame Street.

U is for urine
When you’ve really gotta pee
U is for urine
When it’s running down your knee
U is for urine
It’s excretooooryyyyy!
Urine urine urine
Let me pee!

37

It’s sorta hard to come up with something fresh that still preserves the spirit of the original… Best I could do so far:

Now the temperature grows higher
Gives you reason to perspire
Makes you wish your crack was drier
But it’s wet!
