My Bonnie has tuberculosis,  
My Bonnie has one rotten lung,  
My Bonnie spits blood in a bucket,  
And dries it and chews it for gum.

Then there was the parody of the _Branded_ theme song

Stranded!  
Stranded on the toilet bowl!  
What do you do when you’re stranded?  
Without a roll?  
Stranded!  
Will you be a man?  
What do you do when you’re stranded?  
Will you use your hand?

Learned at Girl Scout camp:

Re-re-regurgitate  
Throw up all the food you ate  
V-O-M-I-T  
Everybody barf on the count of three!  
One-one-one-two-three!  
BLEEEEECCHCHHCGGCCHH

p.s. For some reason, it wouldn’t let me post a YT clip.

I remember an old “Dennis the Menace” cartoon where he and his parents were in church, and the caption is “Because I knew ‘Yankee Doodle’ better, that’s why.”

Hope he didn’t sing THIS version!

I heard it slightly differently:

Whistle while you work,  
Hitler is a jerk,  
Mussolini bit his weenie,  
Now it doesn’t squirt.

My late mother was an elementary school teacher during WW2. She claimed a song kids would sing went like this:

"Hitler, has only got one ball,  
Goering, has two but their small,  
Himmler…has something simmlar,  
And Goebels, has no balls at all!

It was sung to the tune of a well known marching band song but unfortunately I don’t recall the name of it

A dirty bugle call:

_There’s a soldier in the grass_  
_with a bullet up his ass._  
_“Take it out, take it out!”_  
_said a Girl Scout._

The first dirty limerick I remember learning:

_There was a young man from Nantucket_  
_whose cock was so long he could suck it._  
_He said with a grin_  
_as he wiped off his chin,_  
_“If my ear was a cunt, I could fuck it!”_

“There was a young man from Boston,  
Who drove a mini Austin,

Oh yes - this one was actually taught to me by a girl at high school. S. C., actually a very nice person.

About the same time I heard this one:

_There once was a young girl named Jill_  
_[who] used a dynamite stick for a thrill._  
_They found her vagina in North Carolina,_  
_and bits of her tits_  
_in Brazil._

_Hitler_

_And Goebbels_

_Stranded,_

_To prove you’re a man_  
_you must use your hand,_  
_when you’re stranded on a toilet bowl!_

I heard it as

“And Joseph Goebbels . . . has no balls . . . at all!”

Slightly twisting the pronunciation of “Goebbels” to make it rhyme with “no balls”.

The best variation of THAT was:

There once was a man from Nantucket  
Who took an IQ test; with luck it  
Turned out that he  
Had the brilliance to be  
A droplet within Mensa’s bucket.

I, too learned that “gopher guts” song at Girl Scout camp, much to the chagrin of the adults in our lives.

I tried to sing it, and it felt off. Is this missing a line, or is there no line that rhymes with “ivy”?

Sorry, I missed a line. After the first “Fa la la…”, insert these lines:

Fa la la la la la la la la
