I didn’t know some of the rhymes people came up with to answer #5, but found a few of them [on this](http://www.ultimatecampresource.com/site/camp-activities/camp-activities.page-1.html) site (note that the list covers 15 pages).

[Leroy](http://www.theonion.com/content/node/29537). The boy detective’s first casebook was published in 1963, ten years before Jim Croce sang about that dude from the South Side of Chicago.

(yes, _The Onion_ is a satirical paper, but the name [is correct](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Encyclopedia_Brown).)

**Tengu** : There were two sets of Bobbsey Twins. [Bert and Nan](http://home.netcom.com/~drmike99/aboutbobbsey.html) were the older pair, while Freddie and Flossie were the younger offspring of “prosperous lumber merchant” Richard and “housewife” Mary.

So, what you’re saying is that “Encyclopedia” got into drugs, easy women, pool sharping, and other criminal endeavors once puberty hit? Gotta watch them trivia freaks - they get mean when they’re crossed.

Must be a regional variation because this is the way I heard it:

_McDonald’s is your kind of place  
They kick you in the face  
They have no parking place  
They feed you rattlesnakes  
The last time that I went there  
They stole my underwear  
McDonald’s is your kind of plaaaace!_

Ah, yes, I vaguely remembered Nan, but Bert, Freddie and Flossie would never have come to mind. I kinda want to reread those books, now…

Here’s the way I learned it (mid to late 60s)

McDonald’s is your kind of place  
Hamburgers in your face  
Dill pickles up your nose  
French fries between your toes  
And don’t forget their chocolate shakes  
They’re made from polluted lakes  
MacDonald’s is your kind of plaaaace!

(The last time I was in there, they stole my underwear, I really had a scare, I tore right out of there was a variant and not necessary to the completeness).
