we sang a different version over here:
my friend bullfrog sitting on a rock
along came a hunter and shot off his
cocktails and cigarettes fifty cents a glass
if you don't like it shove it up your
ask me no questions i'll tell you no lies
i saw three frenchmen doing up their
flies are a nuisance mosquitos are worse
thank you for listening to my clean little verse
my husband, who is 9 years older than me, remembers 'cocktails and
ginger ale fifty cents a glass' and 'flies and mosquitos, bumblebees
are worse'
neither of us are convinced that we got the first three words right.

I'm waiting for the bawdy military songs before I really chime in.

I don't know any military songs, bawdy or patriotic,
I just like the idea of Deltoids holding up a bar
in an American Legion waiting for band to show up.

Holding up bars is too risky. 7-11 stores are better because the clerks are
not half drunk and feeling heroic. Most of them are Pakistani and don't
speak English anyway, so you can shout anything: "PEDLAR! BEASLEY!" and
they will hit the floor and put their hands behind their heads.
But be careful. Because if you shout DEADFLOYD! they will also drop their
pants. However, if they are from India it doesn't mean that. So, save your
breath.

everyone dropped to the floor. Now I know. Next time I'll try yelling
DEADFLOYD! just to see what happens. No, better not. Forgot I have girls in the
class. Be a hellofa note if they dropped their pants.

And now, you're lying awake nights trying to remember?
Both the variations and similarities are interesting. It is also
odd that we can still (more or less) remember them.
Another one I remember follows, but I don't know how valid it is.
It's a vague family memory and I'm not sure that it isn't just
something that my father made up:
Fire, fire, false alarm,
Baby pooped on Daddy's arm.
Daddy ran to get a stick,
Baby called him a big [not sure if this was ever resolved]
Of course, my dad is someone who once performed the illusion of
swallowing a needle and pulling it out of another aperture...for
his children.
So, does this mean that only children of the British Empire sang
this type of song?

i'm taking some linguistics papers at varsity and we did a study on
the language play of children. the tutor played a tape made around the
time i was at primary school, with kids singing all the rude little
songs we used to sing. i spent a fun half hour alternately laughing
and cringing.

my father would say 'you're pulling my leg?' and we would pull it and
he would release the suction so his leg would come off. i remember how
horrified i was the first time he did it. he thought it was the
funniest thing since fart jokes.
>So, does this mean that only children of the British Empire sang
>this type of song?
having never been a child anywhere else but the British Empire i don't
think i'm qualified to comment. are rude songs not universal?
there were the variations of jingle bells, that kids here still sing
jingle bells, batman smells
robin laid an egg
<something something something>
we used to sing a waltzing matilda variation that was pretty
unpleasant for small children -
waltzing matilda
who bloody killed her
lying in the grass
with a dagger up her ass
we thought it was particularly funny because she was Australian.
