Well, when I was taught the Foo Foo song, waaaay back in the late '60s, it was little _Rabbit_ Foo Foo, and he was _running_ through the forest, scooping up the field mice and _bashing_ them on the head.

That little extra degree of violence really helps drive home the point that being a bully is wrong. Also, rabbits are not as sympathetic as bunnies.

All in all, I think it was a much more effective song back then.

That’s how I always heard it. What’s it supposed to be?

Mutilated monkey meat, of course!

No, _simulated_ monkey meat is fake monkey meat.

Mutilated monkey meat would be chunky-style.

Mutilated monkey meat, definiitely.

As for “It ain’t gonna rain no more,” my father, brother and I used to sing it while on long road trips, and we frequently added new verses. I have no idea what the original verses are, but some of the verses we sung can be found on [this page](http://barrygoldberg.net/sillysongs.htm) (along with a bunch of other similar songs we used to sing).

The monkey meat was “morselated” in our version. Some kind of food processor was involved, I suspect.
