I've always heard it as "I see" said the blind man to his deaf daughter who
replied "What?" in sign language.

My Mum (God rest her soul) used to frequently say:
" I see, I see" said the blind man, when he could not see at all.

That's funny. I always heard it like this:
I see...said the blind man, while sitting on his legless son's lap and
talking to his deaf-mute daughter on the phone.

"I see!" said the blind man to his deaf friend, sitting at the corner of
a round table
One bright day in the middle of the night
two dead boys got up to fight
back to back they faced the other
drew their swords and shot each other
a deaf police man heard this noise
came and shot those two dead boys
and if you dont believe this lie is true
ask the blind man he saw it too!

I see said the blind man to his deaf and dumb daughter speaking on the broken
telephone to her late boyfriend!
"I see", said the blind man, "there's a hole in the wall".
"No", said the deaf man, "you can't see at all!"

One bright day in the middle of the night, two dead boys came out to
fight. Back to back they faced each other. Drew their swords and shot each
other. Two deaf cops heard the noise and came and killed the two dead
boys. If you don't believe my story ask the blind man she saw it all.

A paralysed donkey walking by
kicked a blind man in his eye.
knocked him through a nine inch wall
into a dry ditch and drowned them all.

Perfect! That's the exact way that I memorized it. I heard another
beginning to it recently though:
Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor,
All's free, pay at the door.
Then it goes into the rest of it.

I heard that part go:
Ladles and jellyspoons, horses and fools,
Bald-headed babies on three-legged stools,
I come before you to address you, not to undress you,
And to tell you something I know nothing about.
Admission is free, pay at the door,
Take a seat and sit on the floor.
Good evening ladles and jellyspoons
I come before you to stand behind you
to tell you something I know nothing about.
Since next thursday is Good Friday
there will be a father's meeting
for mothers only.
Wear your best clothes if you don't have any
and please be there if you can't make it.
Admission is free, pay at the door;
have a seat on me--
please sit on the floor.
No matter where you mangage to sit
the man in the balcony will certainly spit.
And now, our next attraction:
the four corners of the round table.

why I still remember it.
Special Bonus Silliness:
What a wonderful bird the frog are

When he jump, he fly almost

I've heard a different last line :
"And if you think my tale's too tall, the blind man saw it all."
> I heard another beginning to it recently though:
> Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor,
> All's free, pay at the door.
I think that's part of another nonsense verse
"Admission is free - please pay at the door
Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor
I've come before you, to stand behind you
To tell you about something, I know nothing about"
There's another silly verse that my grandpa used to say to me, but I think
he had the ending wrong(And perhaps some other parts). If someone knows
what it's supposed to be I'd really appreciate that information.
"It was midnight on the ocean, not a street car was in sight
The sun was shining brightly, though it rained all day that night
A barefoot boy with shoes on, stood sitting in the grass
And..............................
Grandpa's version "Along came a billy goat sliding on his overcoat"
Another possibility "Along came a bumble bee and the street car let him
pass"

Laddles and Jellyspoons,
I stand upon this speech to make a platform:
I come behind you to stand before you
and tell you something I know nothing about.
One fine day...
One bright day in the middle of the night
Two dead men stood up to fight
Back to back they faced each other
drew their swords and shot each other
A deaf policeman heard the noise
and came and killed the two dead boys
if you don't believe this lie is true
ask the blind man, he saw it too.
And the second:
Twas midnight on the ocean, not a streetcar in sight
The sun was shining brightly for it had rained all day that night
Twas a summer's day in winter and the snow was raining fast
as a barefoot boy with shoes on stood sitting in the grass.
