It rolled in the garden and under a bush. And then my poor meatball was nothin’ but mush. But the mush was as tasty as tasty could be, And early next summer it grew into a tree. Oh the tree was all covered with beautiful moss. And the moss grew lovely meatballs and tomato sauce. So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese Hold on to your meatball and don’t ever sneeze. ---

Oh I went to the Animal Fair! The bird and the bees were there! The old baboon by the light o’ the moon Was combing his auburn hair The monkey he got drunk He sat on the elephants trunk The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees And that was the end of the monk! Twaaaaaaaaaaaaaas Midnight on the ocean Not a street car was in sight Forest fires were raging And it rained all day that night Everything that you could see Was hidden out of sight The sexton rang the dishpan Someone set the church on fire “Holy Smoke!” the preacher cried, while he tore his hair And now his head resembles heaven 'Cause there is no parting there! ---

I thought it ended “This land is private properteeeee” To the tune of Dvorak’s “Humoresque”: Were you the one who did the pushin’, Left the stains upon the cushion, Footprints on the dashboard upside down? Was it you, you sly woodpecker Who got into my daughter Rebecca? You bastard, you had better leave this town! Yes, I’m the one who did the pushin’, Left the stains upon the cushion, Footprints on the dashboard upside down. But since I got into your daughter I’ve had trouble passing water So I guess we’re even all around. ---

There’s a great book, _Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts_, I think, that has oodles and oodles of versions of these things collected from all sorts of kids. We had a group game where all the girls stood in a circle except for one, who was the “senorita”, and we sang: I went to Old Kentucky The Old Kentucky Fair I met a senorita With ribbons in her hair Shake it, senorita! Shake it if you can! Shake it like a milkshake, and do the best you can! Rumble to the bottom, rumble to the top (and of course, the Senorita followed all instructions - shake it, rumble to the bottom, etc, and at this point closed her eyes and started to turn around while pointing) Turn around and turn around until I holler stop! S-T-O-P Stop! And the girl she pointed at when we yelled “stop” was the new senorita, and we’d do this for _hours_. Beat the shit out of the Farmer in the Dell, if you ask me. ---

_Doctor, doctor will I die? Yes, my dear but please don’t cry._ You guys lived pure and clean lives. Me, we were all disgusting and fresh. \*Diarrhea, diarrhea When your walking down the halls See it dripping down the walls Diarrhea, diarrhea Diarrhea, diarrhea Gotta run real fast 'Cause it’s dripping out your ass Diarrhea, diarrhea Diarrhea, diarrhea No strain, no pain Just let it drain Diarrhea, diarrhea\* Does anybody remember this one? \*I hate to talk about your mama But she’s in my class She’s got popcorn titties And a rubber ass. She’s 99 She’s Frankenstein She’s the fattest motherfucker on the welfare line.\* I’m sure many of you know Barnicle Bill the Sailor.

I remember a lot of these–for us, it was Miss Susie who had the tugboat. Yet more words to _The Battle Hymn of the Republic_: I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it’s hot I wear my flannel nightie in the winter when it’s not And sometimes in the springtime, and sometimes in the fall, I jump between the sheets with nothing on at all Glory, glory, hallelujah Glory, glory, what’s it to ya? Bonny breeze is blowin’ through ya With nothing on at all! Does anyone remember the words to the song about the girl who keeps shooting all her family members, and every time she gets to court she tells the judge: I didn’t know the gun was loaded I didn’t know (something something) I didn’t know the gun was loaded And I’ll never ever do it again You know what’s weird? I worked at an elementary school a few years back, and none of the kids knew any of these songs. They didn’t know any clap games or jumprope rhymes or anything; my co-worker friend and I had to teach them some. People with school-age kids or who work at schools, do you hear this stuff at recess? Is all this great treasure-house of kid song being lost, or was I at the wrong school? ---

I know a different one: Now here’s a little story bout a man named Jed. He had a lot of hair, but it wasn’t on his head. One day Jed went out for some food, And up from the ground comes a red-headed nude. (Naked, that is. No clothes on.) Next thing you know ol’ Jed is in the bed, Huffin and puffin and blowin his head. …and I don’t remember the rest, which is just as well because I don’t know if it would be allowed in CS anyway. ---

My versions: \*Let me tell you all a story ‘bout a man named Jed, Had a lot of hair, but it wasn’t on his head, Then one day, he was shootin’ at some food, When up through the ground come a lady in the nude! (Naked, that is–no clothes on!) Well, the first thing ya know, old Jed’s in the bed, A-huffin’ and a-puffin’ till his balls were turnin’ red, Then in comes Granny with a ten-foot pole, Shoved it up Jed’s big asshole! (Sideways, that is. Painful–real painful!)\* And: \*Mary had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell, Mary went to heaven, the steamboat went to HELL-o, operator, give me number nine, If you disconnect me, I kick you in the BEHIND the 'frigerator, there was a piece of glass, Mary sat upon it, and broke her little, ASS me no more questions, I’ll tell you no more lies, The cows are in the pasture, eating chocolate pies. (Mmm, boy, Almond Joy, love those tasty Mounds!) \* An alternate last line was _If you ever get hit with a bucket of spit, be sure to close your eyes!_ Oh, and some more verses for the Diarrhea song: _Some people think it’s funny, but it’s really green and runny,_ and _Some people think it’s gross, but it’s really good on toast._ I don’t think anyone’s mention _Jingle Bells_: _Jingle Bells, Batman smells A thousand miles away! He blows his nose in Cheerios, And eats it every day!_ I know the other one about Robin laying an egg, too. Here’s one more fave: To the “River Kwai” tune: _Comet–it makes your mouth turn green! Comet–it tastes like kerosene! Comet–it makes you vomit! So drink your Comet, and vomit today!_ ---

Camp songs! I used to love these. I can come up with a good dozen off the top of my head. I’ll try to limit myself. 😉 Ahem… **The Nonsense Song** I was born one night one morn When the whistles went boom-boom You can fry a steak or bake a cake When the mud pies are in bloom Do six and six make nine? Does ice grow on a vine? Was Old Black Joe and eskimo in the good old summertime? **The Billboard Song** As I was walking down the street A billboard met my eye. The advertisement on that board Could make one laugh and cry The rain had come the night before And washed it half away The other half remaining there Just made that billboard say (1960s version) Smoke Coca Cola cigarettes Chew Wrigley Spearmint beer Kennelration dog food makes your complexion clear Simonize your baby with a Hershey’s candy bar And Texacola beauty cream is used by all the stars! (1940s version) Smoke a Coca Cola, Drink ketchup cigarettes See Lillian Russell wrestle with a box of Oysterettes Pork and beans will meet tonight in a finish fight Professor Smith will lecture on some Oleo tonight. Does anybody know the **Bumblebee Song**? I’m bringing home a baby bumblebee. Won’t my mommy be so proud of me? I’m bringing home a baby bumblebee. Ouch! He stung me! I’m smashing up my baby bumblebee! Won’t my mommy be so proud of me… (trust me, it gets worse) ---

I accidentally hit reply. In my previous post, I always thought “Miss Sue” and “Miss Suzy” were the same person. A friend taught me her version of the Billboard song: As I was walking down the street One dark and dreary day I came upon a billboard And much to my dismay The sign was torn and tattered from the storm the night before The rain and wind had done its job and this is what I saw: Smoke Coca-Cola chewing gum, chew Wrigley Spearmint beer Kennelration dogfood will keep your complexion clear Simonize your baby with a Hershey’s candy bar And Pepsi-Cola beauty cream is used by all the stars Learn to play the piano in your winter underwear [some line here that I forgot] Doctors say that babies should smoke until they’re three And people over 65 should bathe in Lipton tea. My friends and I also had a game with elaborate hand clapping and motions that went: Way down yonder by the hanky-panky Where the bullfrongs jump from bank to bank! With a leap, a hop, a splater, a plop And a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ker-plop!
