Childhood nonsense songs
Oriole Adams
thought were really cool and clever songs, particularly on the schoolbus (all
the better to annoy the teacher)?
One that comes to mind (sung to the tune of "Allouette"):
Suffocation, deadly suffocation
Suffocation, that's the game we play.
First you take a plastic bag
Then you put it over your head.
Go to bed
Wake up dead
Wheeee!
Also (sung to the tune of "Row, Row, Your Boat"):
Marijuana, marijuana
LSD, LSD
Scientists make it
Teachers take it
Why can't we?

Heh I remember the LSD song but not suffocation :-)
A classic in my neighborhood was "Comet", sung to the tune of Col. Bogey:
Comet....
it makes your teeth turn green
Comet...
it tastes like gasoline
Comet...
it makes you vomit...
so take some Comet
and vomit
todaaaaaay.
Dixon Hayes
it is...sung to the tune of "On Top of Ol' Smokey" (my memory is rough on the
lyrics so bear with me):
"On top of spaghetti,
all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball
with the greatest of ease,
It rolled off the table
and onto the floor,
it rolled 'cross the parlor
and on out the door,
It rolled down the steps and
rolled under a bush,
and now my poor meatball
is nothing but mush."
Another favorite:
"Ta ra ra boom de ay,
There is no school today,
Our teacher* passed away,
She had a tooth decay.
We put her in the bay,
She scared the fish away,
Ta ra ra boom de ay,
There is no school today..."
*Sometimes an actual teacher's name was substituted ("Hornbuckle passed
away..." or "Miss Caldwell passed away...").

This is the version I grew up with...
"Randolph the bow-legged cowboy,
Had a very shiny gun,
and if you ever saw it,
you would turn around and run.
All of the other cowboys,
used to laugh and call him names,
they never let poor Randolph,
join in any poker games.
Then one foggy Saturday night,
Sheriff came to say,
Randolph with your gun so bright,
Won't you shoot my wife tonight...
Then how the cowboys loved him,
as they shouted out with glee,
Randolph the bow-legged cowboy,
is hanging yonder on that tree!"

Not Buddy here, but I think I can provide the lyrics to Allan Sherman's "Camp
Granada" in any case:
Hello Mudda, hello Fadda
Here I am at Camp Granada
Camp is very entertaining
And they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining
I went hiking with Joe Spivy
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner?
He got ptomain poisoning last night after dinner
All the counselors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called "Ulysses"
Now I don't want this should scare ya
But my bunk mate has malaria
You remember Jeffrey Hardy?
They're about to organize a searching party
Take me home, oh Mudda, Fadda
Take me home, I hate Granada
Don't leave me in the forest where
I might get eaten by a bear
Take me home, I promise I will not make noise
Or mess the house with other boys
Oh, please don't make me stay
I've been here one whole day
Dearest Father, darling Mother
How's my precious little brother?
Let me come home if you miss me
I would even let Aunt Bertha hug and kiss me
Wait a minute, it stopped hailing
Guys are swimming, gals are sailing
Playing baseball, gee that's better
Mudda, Fadda, kindly disregard this letter

Reminded me of another one similar:
Ta ra ra boom de ay,
There was no school today,
Our teacher passed away,
Ta ra ra boom de ay.
We tossed her in the bay,

And to make it worse, the song about burning down the school is a parody of
a patriotic hymn. The Politically Uncorrectness was what made them funny I

Yup, that's Hee Haw.
I think it was actually
"Where, oh where, are you tonight?
Why did you leave me here all alone?
I searched the world over and I thought I'd found true love,

Upstairs to take a bath.
Alice, with legs like toothpicks

Alice, into the bathtub
Pulled out the plug and then
Goodness gracious!

There goes Alice down the hole

How about the classic:

French fried pigs feet, marinated monkey meat

Sung to the same tune as the above:
"<insert mark's name here> floating down the Delaware
Chewing on his underwear
Wish he had another pair
3 days later got bitten by a polar bear.
That's how the polar bear died."
There was also (sung to the tune of "Down by the Riverside")
"McDonalds is your kind of place
Hamburgers in your face
French fries between your toes
and pickles up your nose
The last time that I was there
they fried my underwear
McDonalds is your kind of place"
How 'bout the classic, from when male/female relationships were taboo, at
least for the guys:
"<mark's name> and <mark's purported significant other> sittin' in a tree
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes <female mark's name> with/in the baby carriage.
Suckin' his thumb
Wettin' his pants (I heard it exactly once as 'ruinin' his pants')
Now he's doin' the hula dance."
When there was a birthday party in school:
"Happy birthday to you
you live in a zoo
you look like a monkey
and you act/smell like one too."
We all know the "Jingle Bells" one; in fact, it was even sung by Bart on a
Simpsons Xmas special. But sung to the "Dashing through the snow" part:
"Batman in the kitchen
Robin in the hall
Joker in the bathroom
Peein' on the wall."
For Halloween:
"Trick or treat
smell my feet
give me something good to eat."
Jason Lebouef
Here comes the bride
all dressed in white
where is the groom? He's in the dressing room
Why is he there?
He lost his underwear.
Baby baby suck your toe

when you get there brush your hair

Actually this was to the tune of (I *CANNOT* spell this French phrase

I cannot even get a good enough spelling of it to check it on Alta

You're so right! My mistake.
The one sung to the tune of "Row, Row Your Boat" was
Row row row your boat

Throw your teacher overboard

Way Way Way back when. I'm talking like 66 or so we used to sing one that
went:
There's a place on Mars
Where the women eat the stars
And the men don't care
Cause they eat their underwear
Haven't sung that one in public for goin on 30+ years now.

Yes I remember Trish. There were a lot of those....they all started out
different, but all got into the "in came the dr." part. Another one I remember
was..
Not last night but the night before
I met my boyfriend at the candy store
he bought me some chocolates
bought me some cake
sent me home with a tummy ache
Mommy, mommy am I ill?
Call the Dr. from over the hill
In came the Dr. in came the nurse,
in came the lady with the alligator purse...

O cool it is you!!! Everybody this is a friend of mine. He lives down the
road a piece from me. I went to school with him. Now maybe with a little
coaxing we can convince him to join up in here with us. Or at least make
period appearances at least. The problem is tho that he has had MAJOR probs
with ng's in the past. Some sort of problem arose from am internet club he
was with & most everyone got together one weekend & there was one chick left
to keep things running & did so w/o any advance notice on it. Did it on her
own. The others got back & lambasted her for doing so. He took up for her &
then was called everything but a white man for doing so. So because of that
he is a little bit gun shy about NG's. I'll hold off on saying his name tho.
I've treid to get him to come on in in the past now. If he does come in
thenhe will be the resident horse expert here as he has a big brown horsie
named Sounds Wild. We'll see what his reaction is to all this.
