Cadbury, that is quite curious. Could this song be a parallel to religion?

I am from the Southwest (Texas) and the song patter is the same with the exceptions

-The girls name is Lucy instead of Susie

-"Hello…Number 9…if you disconnect me, I’ll KICK you from

-“Behind the refrigerator…piece of glass…Lucy sat upon it, and cut her little”

-“Ask me no more questons…lies…Lucy’s in the bathroom, kissing all the guys!”

Intresting.Actullay I meant to make a thread about Nursery Rhymes and how strangely sad and evil some can be. Anyone remember “Eddie-cuchie-catchie-canna-toss-a-nara-toss-a-noka-samma-kmma-wacky-brown” and about how he fell int the well and subsequently drowned to death?
