I had to cheat and do a search for the Sippin’ Cider song. I remember singing it, but couldn’t recall anything past the first verse. Every version I could find was along the lines of the following, which I surely sang as a young boy-crazy camper!

SIPPIN’ CIDER

(Tune-The Other Day I Met A Bear)

The cutest boy  
I ever saw  
Was sippin’ ci-  
Der through a straw  
The cutest boy I ever saw  
Was sippin’ ci-d-i-d-ider through a straw.

I asked him if  
He’d show me how  
To sip some ci-  
Der through a straw …

He said of course  
He’d show me how  
To sip some ci-  
Der through a straw…

First cheek to cheek  
Then jaw to jaw  
We sipped that ci-  
Der through a straw…

And bit by bit  
That straw did slip  
And we sipped ci-  
Der lip to lip…

That’s how I got  
My mother-in-law  
And forty-nine kids  
To call me Ma…

The moral of  
This little tale  
Is don’t sip ci-  
Der through a straw

The moral of this little tale  
Is don’t sip ci-de-i-de-ider through a straw…  
Drink ginger ale!

**crazy4chaucer** and **booklover** reminded me of this little ditty (hope it hasn’t been mentioned yet)

“Birdy, Birdy, in the sky  
Why’d you do that in my eye?  
Looks like water  
Tastes like sap.  
Oh my gosh, it’s birdy crap.”

Okay, maybe a little too much there at the end, but if you’re kid’s in kindergarten, they probably already know it (at least, that’s when I learned how to swear).

Thanks **Ellen Cherry.**  
I was beginning to think I imagined that song.

The moral of the story is, “Hare today, goon tomorrow.”
