others we grew up with. It shows variations of the ditties we grew up with. Great book
Loaned it out so I don't know the authors name.

(although I think there are a number of versions that are
slightly different!)
Great big gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
chopped up parakeet
mutilated monkey meat
Great big gobs of french-fried eye-balls
Oops, I dropped my spoon

: Hi all -
Dear Kezia
Ah, how my brothers and I loved that song. Well, one brother, the other
was too old at the time. It goes like this:
(moderate tempo: sung with considerable glee)
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Marinated monkey's meat
Dirty little piggies' feet
All topped off with pulverated* vultures' beaks
And I forgot my spoon!
But I brought a straw (slurp, slurp).
*not a real word
cheers
dyan
ps I love your name, Kezia. Check out New Zealand writer Katherine
Mansfield's stories ('At the Bay', 'Prelude', 'The Doll's House') and
meet your namesake, little Kezia, her dearest character, and find out why
I have such a soft spot for the name.

My kids sing
Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat,
little babies' dirty feet
Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
and I forgot my spoon!
(or, Hanging on the line to dry)
Then there's
The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out
The worms play pinochole on your snout
They eat my eyes, they eat your nose
They eat the jelly between your toes.
Your liver turns a slimy green,
The pus comes out like whipping cream,
Your eyes they turn a mushy red
And that's the end because. . .
YOU'RE DEAD!

I always sang:
Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Eensy weensy birdy feet
French fried eyeballs rolling on down the street
That's what we're having for lunch
Without a spoon.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The version I learned, and which I haven't seen quoted here yet, had
"French-fried eyeballs swimming in a pool of blood"
for this line.
YMMV?
By the way--this is starting to sound like another project for Roger!
"Regional Variations in the Gopher Guts song", or some such thing...

My version went like this:
Great big piles of greasy grimy gopher guts
mutilated monkey meat
putrefying pig pus
great big piles of greasy grimy gopher guts
and me without my spoon!
Interesting, is it not -- this fascination with shreeded ape...? Seems to
be a recurrent theme. That and, of course, the rodent innards.

While growing up in the Pacific Northwest in the 1960's, we sang:
Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
Mangalated* monkey meat
Vultures barfing at your feet
All these things are very, very good to eat
Buy them at your Albertson's store
They give you a spoon ....
*a combination of mangled and mutilated?

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts,
Mutilated puppy feet,
Chopped up baby parakeet.
French fried eyeballs rolling down a dirty street,
Eat 'em without a spoon
But don't forget your straw (slurp!)
...well, that's how I heard it, anyhow...

mutilated monkey meat,
little birdie smelly feet,
french fried eyeballs floating in a frying pan,
I forgot my spoon....
So.....
Eat a scab sandwich with pus on top,
Monkey's vomit,
camel snot,
elephant eyeballs cut in twooooooo,
eat it (fill in name of choice),
it's good for you!
(Yeesh, what an embarrassing thing to know!) Hope I helped out in some
way.

caught in traffic (windows closed, thank you):
Great green globs of greasy grimy gophers guts,
Mutilated monkey's meat,
Little birdies dirty feet.
One half pint of all purpose porpoise pus...
Swimming in pink lemonade.
And I recorded a .wav file to play at the windows exit--just to surprize
him. My nephews love to make up gross variations. Kind of goes along
with worms and bugs made out of "gummy bear" candy that they love so much.

I was just talking about this song at lunch (really! And while someone
was trying to eat soup :). Anyway, this is the version we sang
in Michigan (Roger, if you're listening, there's my geographical
location for when you're done with the DDG thing :)
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Marinated money meat
tutti-frutti birdie feet,
Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
and I forgot my spoon!
