That defiantely makes the rhyming better. Ah scouts. They also taught me to cuss too.

A famous one, that. The original lyrics begin:

My brother Jack, he went knocking every door

continue suitably modified for person and end:

The moral of the story is - never +++NO CARRIER+++

Here’s a classic:

Down in the jungle, under a tree  
Condoms on sale for 50p [1]  
Some are a pound, some are ten bob [2]  
It all depends on the size of your knob.

[1] Fifty pence, if you were wondering.  
[2] Ten shillings, or 50 pence in new money.

Sung to “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”:

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burnin’ of the school  
We have tortured every teacher, we have broken every rule  
Now we’re marching down the hall to barbecue the principal  
Us kids are marching on

Glory, glory hallelujah  
Teacher hit me with a ruler  
Met her at the door  
With a loaded .44  
And she ain’t my teacher no more

(She’s on the floooor…)

Sung to the tune of “Alouette”

Suffocation takes coordination  
Suffocation, a game we all can play  
First you take a plastic bag  
Then you put it on your head  
Go to bed, wake up dead, ohhh-ohh!  
Suffocation takes coordination  
Suffocation, a game we all can play

Sung to the tune of “The Addams Family”

The Addams Family started  
When Uncle Fester farted  
They all came out retarded  
The Addams Family!  
Driving down the highway  
Down highway #4  
Loopy cut a fart  
And blew me out the door  
The wheels started shaking  
The motor fell apart  
All because of Loopy’s  
Supersonic fart!

This is a story of a man named Jed  
Bit his dink and now he’s dead

Tah-rah-rah-boom-de-ay  
They took your pants away  
And while you’re standing there  
They stole your underwear  
They threw them in the bay  
Which scared the sharks away  
And when they pulled them out  
They smelled like sauerkraut

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 them over your shoulder  
Like a continental soldier?  
Do your balls hang low?

(substitute “boobs” for “balls” to sing the female version)

Over the hill came piss pot Pete  
With fifty pounds of swinging meat  
Over the hill came Sally Grass  
He stuck his weenie up her ass  
Sally Grass, she cut a fart  
And blew ole’ Peter’s balls apart!

They just go on and on…filthy kids, we were…

The Popeye versions popular when I was a kid was

I’m Popeye the sailor man.  
I live in a pot of jam.  
The jam was so sticky  
It stuck to my dicky  
I’m Popeye the sailor man.

I’m Popeye the sailor man  
I live in a caravan  
I sleep with my granny  
And tickle her fanny  
I’m Popeve the sailor man.  
[I don’t think ‘fanny’ means the same thing in the USA as it does here in the UK]

> And swim between their legs…

That’s not part of the Popeye parody. I only know that one from M_A_S\*H, when Col. Potter sang “I love to go swimmin’ with bowlegged women and swim between their legs!”

But the one I remember went like this:

Once I went out swimmin’  
Where there were no women  
Down by the deep blue sea  
Seeing no one there  
I hung my underwear  
Upon a willow tree  
Dove into the water  
Just like Pharaoh’s daughter  
Dove into the Nile  
Someone beat me there  
And stole my underwear  
And left me with a smile!

Another underwear song:

Tarzan, Tarzan in the air  
Tarzan lost his underwear  
Tarzan say, “Me no care!  
Jane buy me another pair!”

Jane, Jane in the air  
Jane lost her underwear  
Jane say, “Me no care!  
Boy buy me another pair!”

Boy, Boy in the air  
Boy lost his underwear  
Boy say, “Me no care!  
Cheetah buy me another pair!”

Cheetah, Cheetah in the air  
Cheetah lost his underwear  
Cheetah say, “Me no care!  
_Monkeys don’t wear underwear!_”

When I was a kid in the '60s, some of our schoolyard ditties still referenced World War 2:

Whistle while you work  
Hitler is a jerk  
Mussolini broke his weenie  
Now it doesn’t squirt!

[To the tune of a bugle call I don’t know the name of]  
There’s a German in the grass  
With a bullet in his ass  
Take it out, take it out  
Like a good Girl Scout!

And not very naughty, but worth mentioning:

Tramp tramp tramp, the boys are marching  
Here comes Hitler at the door  
If I only had the chance  
I would kick him in the pants  
Then there wouldn’t be a Hitler anymore!

\<snip\>

Next you take a water hose  
Stick it up your nose  
Turn it on  
Then you’re gone, ohhh, ohh!  
Also: (can’t think of the tune)

Grandmas in the cellar  
Golly can’t ya smell 'er?  
Making greasy buscuits with her toes.  
Her eyes are full of batter  
But it doesn’t really matter  
‘Cause the \<snort grossly and loudly\> is runnin’ down 'er nose.

Down 'er nose!  
Down 'er nose!  
‘cause the \<snort grossly and loudly\> is runnin’ down 'er nose!

Very eerie. We used to sing the same thing while playing a hand clap game.

Denny Darty had a party  
Tutti Frutti was there  
Tutti Frutti cut a beauty  
And they had to go out for air.  
In the “Glory Hallejujah” song there were several different ways of getting rid of the teacher:

Knocked her on the bean  
With a rotten tangerine

Hit her in the butt  
With a rotten coconut

Found a .22  
And put in in her shoe

Met her at the bank  
With a loaded Russian tank

Found a hand grenade  
And put it in her lemonade

(Yeah, that last verse doesn’t scan.)  
And of course there is:

On top of old Smokey  
All covered with sand  
I shot my poor teacher  
With a green rubber band

I shot her with pleasure  
I shot her with pride  
How could I miss her  
She was 40 feet wide

I went to her fun’ral  
I went to her grave  
Instead of throwing flowers  
I threw hand grenades.

We had:

On top of ol’ Smokey,  
All covered with snow  
I saw Annie Oakley  
Take off all her clothes  
Along came Gene Autry  
And took off his vest  
And when he saw Annie  
He took off the rest!

* * *

Tah rah rah boom dee yay  
Tah rah rah boom dee yay  
There was a boy next door  
He got me on the floor  
He said it wouldn’t hurt  
He stuck it up my skirt  
And then my tummy grew  
Now I’m a mommy too.

* * *

And one that’s not a song, but for some reason we all said it to one another constantly:

“You’re a supersonic, idiotic, disconnected, brain-infected DUMBBELL!”

Deck the halls with gasoline, fa lala…  
Light a match and watch it gleam, fa lala…  
Watch the schoolhouse burn to ashes, fa lala…  
Aren’t you glad you played with matches, fa lala…

Several nasty variations of Barney’s “I Love You” theme song.

Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg  
Batmobile lost its wheel and Joker got away  
(Not nasty, but silly anyway)

[OLD SEASAME STREET SONG]  
Oh, the crack dealer is a person in your neighborhood.  
in your neighborhood, in your neigh-bor-hoo-ood!  
Oh, the crack dealer is a person in your neighborhood.  
in your neighborhood, in your neigh-bor-hoo-ood!

I really, really wish I could remember even half the lyrics to my favorite morbid-song-parody-to-annoy-adults-with ever, but alas, it’s unlikely I’ll ever find out how it went.

Psychiatric hospital, in the 'tweens ward. Parody of the “Toys R Us Kid” jingle that spanned several repetitions of the actual song, going on and on about how great it was to be there. I remember it as a thing of beauty, though the bit I remember (replacing ‘I don’t want to grow up’ with ‘I don’t want to get out…’) is pretty damn depressing in hindsight.

Of course, I remember being just absolutely horrified at 9 years old when I first heard “Miss Suzie had a steamboat…” After all, it was almost like you were saying _those_ words.

My grandpa taught me this one:  
The monkey and the baboon  
Playin’ in the grass,  
The monkey stuck his finger  
Up the baboon’s ass.  
The baboon said  
“Well, bless my soul!  
Get your dirty finger  
Out of my asshole.”
