Here’s a couple I learned from my dad (don’t laugh at my weird family)

Old McDonald sittin on a bench,  
floggin his dick with a monkey wrench.  
Missed his dick and hit his balls.  
Shit 'em out on his overalls!

Old Mr. Prick had a 6 foot dick,  
and he showed it to the woman next door.  
She thought it was a snake,  
and chopped it with a rake,  
and now it’s only 3 foot 4.

If you don’t work with total vigor,  
they’ll replace youw with a n-----.

There’s a skeeter on my peter, SLAP IT OFF!!!  
THere’s another on my brother, SLAP IT OFF!!!  
There’s a dozen on my cousin,  
can’t you hear them fuckers buzzin,  
There’s a skeeter on my peter, SLAP IT OFF!!!

and the granddaddy of all “On top of spagetti…”

On top of old smokey,  
all covered with sand.  
I killed poor old (enter name),  
with a red rubber band.

I shot him with pleasure,  
I shot him with pride.  
I couldn’t have missed him,  
he’s 40 feet wide.

I went to his funeral  
I went to his grave  
Some people threw flowers,  
but I threw grenades.

And then 10 years later,  
he came back once more.  
And so I kicked (enter name)'s  
butt right out the door!!!

I heard a knock at the door of my heart, but it was a vacuum cleaner salesman!

I can confirm the OP’s version was popular in California in the mid-'60s.

How about this rendition of the Woody Guthrie classic:

This land is my land  
and only my land  
If you don’t get off  
I’ll blow your head off  
I’ve got a shotgun  
and you ain’t got one  
This land was made for only me.

There was also a burn-down-the-school-kill-all-the-teachers song set to “Battle Hymn of the Republic” but I don’t remember all the words.

I’m surprised no one mentioned this song, popular in the schoolyard I grew up in:

Do your balls hang low?  
Do they wobble to-and-fro?  
Can you tie them in a knot?  
Can you tie them in a bow?  
Can you throw’em over your shoulder  
Like a continental soldier?  
Do you balls…hang…low?

Here’s what we sang on Guam instead of “Jingle bells”-

Here we are on Guam  
Without a hope of snow  
Under spreading palms  
Typhoons sure to blow (whoosh!).  
Santa Claus will know  
What the traffic will allow…  
Instead of riding 8 reindeer he’ll ride 8 caribou!

Jungle bells, coconut shells, stickleburrs all the way  
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a caribou cart today, hey!  
Jungle bells, coconut shells, stickleburrs all the way  
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a caribou cart today!  
They pronounced caribou like cari-bow (“bow” rhymes with “cow”).

Does anyone remember the rest of the words to this song?

When you’re ridin’ in a Chevy and you feel something heavy,  
Diarrhea, diarrhea

Whwn you’re climbin’ up a ladder and you feel something splatter  
Diarrhea, diarrhea

My Eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school  
we have tortured every teacher, we have broken every rule

That’s all I remember!

Also:  
Ta ra ra boom de ay!  
We have no school today  
the teacher passed away  
ta ra ra boom de ay

Ta ra ra boom de ay  
we threw her in the bay  
they sharks had lunch today  
ta ra ra boom de ay.

Anyone?

Oooh…the diarrhea song! My friends and I could keep this song going forever!

When you’re looking at the moon,  
and you hear a ka-boom,  
diarrhea (fart-fart) diarrhea

When you’re sitting on a rock,  
and it’s running down your sock,  
diarrhea (fart-fart) diarrhea

Some people think it’s gross,  
but it’s really good on toast,  
diarrhea (fart-fart) diarrhea

I’ll post more if I think of it 🙂

I remembered the chorus:

Glory, glory, Hallelujah  
teacher hit me with a ruler  
so I blew her out the door  
with a loaded 44  
now teacher ain’t teacher no more!

(alternate: “so I hit her in the bean with a rotten tangerine” don’t know what the last line was to that variation)

Jingle Bells go to hell  
You can kiss my butt  
You’re such a rotten loser  
And your mother is a slut  
Ho!

Your mother’s in the kitchen  
Giving Santa head  
Your sister’s in the bathroom  
Screwing Mr. Ed  
Whee! I just made that one up! What a sophomoric prick I am.

I remember the Battle Hymn as:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school  
We have tortured every teacher, we have broken every rule  
And tomorrow after school we’re gonna hang the principal  
(His truth is marching on??)

Glory, glory, Hallelujah  
Teacher hit me with a ruler  
So I met her after school with my loaded .44  
And she ain’t my teacher any more.

Speaking of teacher jingles:

Row, row, row your boat,  
Gently down the stream,  
Throw your teacher overboard  
And listen to her scream.

Five days later,  
Floatin’ down the Delaware,  
Chewin’ on her underwear,  
Wish she had another pair.  
Eight days later,  
Eaten by a polar bear,  
And that’s how the polar bear died.

I learned:

…I met her in the attic with a semi-automatic  
And she ain’t my teacher no moooooooore…

Also, a couple more verses to the diarrhea song:

When you’re sliding into first  
And your pants are gonna burst  
Diarrhea, diarrhea

When you’re sliding into second  
And can’t hold it another second  
Diarrhea, diarrhea

When you’re sliding into third  
And you feel a great big turd  
Diarrhea, diarrhea

Not exactly a kid’s song but I thought I’d pass this along:  
(Sung to the tune of ‘My Bonnie…’)

My father sells snow to the junkies,  
my mother makes synthetic gin,  
my sister makes love for a living,  
my God how the money rolls in!

Say goodnight, Gracy…

I always heard the refrain of the “Battle Hymn of the Republic Kill-Your-Teacher” version as:  
Glory, Glory Hallelujah  
Teacher hit me with a ruler  
Met her at the door with a loaded .44  
And she don’t teach no more

(I tried to sing some of the other versions posted here, and there seemed to be too many words in the last line for the meter.)

And I’ve always sang “My Bonnie” as:  
My father lies over the ocean  
My mother lies over the sea  
My father lies over my mother  
And that’s how they got little me!
