For us it was
Great big globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Petrified gorilla’s feet
French fried eyeballs swimming in a pool of blood.
And I forgot my spoon
(But I’ve got my strawwwwww)
The last line was optional, as was a slurping sound.
As I recall, we had another ditty to that tune. Suppose you want to tease your friend Karla…
Here comes Karla walking down the Delaware
Chewing on her underwear
Can’t afford another pair
Ten days later bitten by a polar bear
That’s how the polar bear died
My brain, which hasn’t heard or even thought about that for decades, is telling me it’s supposed to be “five days.”
And “floating down the Delaware.”
Eight days later. I don’t know why.
And the polar bear didn’t die, the person you were singing the song about did.
Oh, and yeah, floating, not walking.
I learned it like this:
Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg
The Batmobile popped a wheel
And the Joker did ballet
I was a bit disappointed when, in the Simpsons pilot Bart sang merely that he had gotten away, but it was a treat one way or another to hear a kid sing the song on network television.
The logic was that Karla smelled so bad that after ingesting a bit of her, the polar bear died.
Why it was “walking” down the Delaware…I got nothing, but that’s how we sang it.
Jingle Bells, Batman smells
Rotting on the sleigh.
He stinks because he is in an
Advanced state of Decay.
Close.
Great big gobs of
Greasy grimy gopher gut
Mashed up monkey meat
French fried parakeet
Lukewarm vomit
Pooling up around the side
Me without my spoon
Yum!Yum!
What’s that other stupid ditty that has a double-entendre ending each line (and beginning the next?) Something like:
The boys are in the bathroom pulling down their…
Flies are in the kitchen, birds are in the park
I don’t know, but there’s this one from South Park.
Mrs. Landers was a health nut.
She cooked food in a wok.
Mr. Harris was her boyfriend,
and he had a great big-
Cock-a-doodle-doodle.
The rooster just won’t quit,
and I don’t want my breakfast,
because it tastes like-
Shih Tzus make good house pets.
They’re cuddly and sweet.
Monkeys aren’t good to have,
'cause they like to beat their-
Meeting in the office.
A meeting in the hall.
The boss, he wants to see you,
so you can suck his-
Balzac was a writer.
He lived with Allen Funt.
Mrs. Roberts didn’t like him,
but that’s 'cause she’s a-
Contaminated water,
can really make you sick.
Your bladder gets infected,
and blood comes out your-
Dictate what I’m saying,
'cause it will bring you luck,
and if you all don’t like it,
I don’t give a flying fuck!
Oscar Brand’s “A Clean Song” from the early 50’s is a classic. Here it is with subtitled lyrics. A Clean Song - Oscar Brand - YouTube
Ha! That a different tune, but the exact kind of silliness. Funny how far back some ‘modern’ terms go.
Summer camp
Hello mother, hello father.
I am smoking Marijuana,
Coke is good… Crack is better
I’m so drunk that I can barely write this letter
