"Hut-Sut-Raw"
Melysa
only verse I have heard, people always sing EXACTLY as follows:
"Hut Sut Raw...and so and so and so on."
Now, are these the real lyrics, or is it that absolutely no one knows what
the words truly are?
(The last time I heard it was on an episode of Rocco's Modern Life.)

I remember Horton the elephant singing this in an animated version of
Dr. Seuss' _Horton Hatches An Egg_. His version went something like:
Hut sut raw, rilla rilla,
And a so on so on so forth,
Hut sut raw, rilla rilla,
And a so on so forth.
What does it all mean? Beats me!

I recall it being called (phonetically)
_Huts Hut Rals(t)on_
Huts Hut Rals(t)on
On the rittle raw
Brawlla Brawlla suet
I think that this was a WWII vintage Hit Parade tune. It was in
the same vein as _Marezey Doats_. I don't know whether like
_Marezey Doats_ it has a sensible translation or not. I remember
when I was a kid that it figured in an episode of "McHale's Navy,"
and that I asked my mother what it meant. She knew the whole song
(she was a teenager during WWII).
