One hen, 2 ducks, 3 squawking geese

[JCURTISS2]

This is the beginning of a counting/memory game that I learned in the
early '60's. The higher you count, the more complicated the description of
the object being counted becomes. Sometime during the sixties, or early
'70's I think it was on a record that played on the radio. I can remember
parts of the series. Can anyone fill in the blanks?

One hen
Two ducks
Three squawking geese
Four corpulent porpoises
Five ???
Six ???
Seven ????
Eight brass monkeys from the ancient crypts of Egypt.
Nine ???
Ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical denisons of the deep who whole stole
around the corner of the quee, quay, quo of the quivey all at the very same
time!

Anyone?

I remember playing a drinking game in high school that is a lot like the one
you're talking about. Unfortunately, I can't remember many of them
anymore... it's been awhile.. :) Here's the ones I do remember...

one red hen
two dead ducks
three brown bears
four running hares
five ??
six seasick seamen sailing the seven seas
seven ??
eight ??
nine ??
ten ??

I wish I could remember more of them...
