Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
marinated monkey feet
chopped up baby parakeet
...?
My girlfriend and I can only remember assorted lines, and we argue over
half of the ones we *can* remember.
Please, save our relationship and help us!

This isn't gonna be much help, on account of because I can't remember a whole
lot more that you have. This is the chorus to one of those bleedin' campfire
songs from summer camp, and darned if I can recall ANY of the verses:
Great green globs of greasy, grimy, gopher guts,
Mutilated monkey meat,
Itty bitty birdie feet!
Great green globs of greasy, grimy, gopher guts,
And me without a spoon!
Terrific it would be if someone can provide a few of those verses!
...C, D, Eb, F#!

Here are the minor variations familiar to me of this dining-hall classic:
Great green globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
/gobs
mutilated monkey meat
/macerated/marinated
chopped-up parakeet
/little birdies' feet
french-fried eyeballs rolling in a pool of blood
/rolling down the toilet seat [sillier, but rhymes]
and I forgot my spoon!
(but I've got my straaaw....!)
I remember the kitchen staff singing this gem at summer camp. It didn't
seem to amuse the rather stuffy British wife of the director. Ah, how
strangely selective are the memories of childhood!

It goes...
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Chopped up baby parakeet
French-fried eyeballs lying in a pool of blood
And I forgot my spoon!
...I've got a straw...
The way we used to sing it 20 years ago was
Girls are made of greasy grimy gopher guts,
mutilated monkey meat,
little birdies dirty feet.
All these things are very very good to eat,
but we don't have spoons,
but we have straws.

Well, there's probably a million versions, but here's the one I know:
Great green globs of greasy grimey gopher guts,
mutilated monkey meat
chopped up little birdie's feet
One pint jar of all purpose porpoise pus
Floating in pink lemonaide.
And I forgot my spoon, but I have a straw...

Here it is (at least the version I learned many moons ago):

Saturated monkey's meat,
French fried eyeballs,
Swimming in a pool of blood,
And I forgot my spoon!

Hows about:
The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
They start in your stomach
And come out your snout
Your face will turn a slimey green
and puss comes out like whipping cream.
Or something to that effect......

The version of this I remember from being a kid is as follows, but
I never knew the whole version;
The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
In through your ears
and out through your snout.
They eat your eyes,
They eat your nose,
They eat the jelly between your toes...

You're all ok for about a week
and then your casket starts to leak
The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
The worms play pinacle on your snout
Your stomach turns a moldy green
And puss comes out like thick whip cream
Your eyes fall out
Your teeth fall in
And all this time
The ants drink gin.
Also - my childhood recollection of the other song:
Great big gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Crispy crunchy parakeet
All mixed up with
Fuzzy wuzzy beetle eggs
Floating in my pink lemonade.
great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
mutilated monkey meat
chopped up birdy feet
mixed up eyeballs
swimming in a pool of blood
whoops i forgot my spoon
(but i remembered my ssstrawww!)
or something like that
-lp
Nobody has gotten this...it's spelled "pinochle"
Jeez....no, I don't know why it's spelled that way.
Hate to post over something so trivial, but...it was this or flossing my cat!
great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
mutilated monkey meat
chopped-up little feet
all washed down with [i come to this point and realise i don't remember
it all..]
oops! i forgot my spoon
(i'll use a straw...:)
sorry to have misled anyone into thinking i know the divine truth in
this (song?). if anyone could fill in the line or two missing, i'd like
to know... tnx

I remember it as:
Green grimy gopher guts,
Mixed with monkey meat.
French fried eyes,
Swimming in a pool of blood.
Gee, I wish I had a straw!

It's not peinoccle, and it's not peaknuckle, and it's not pinicle, and it's
not shallots in a white wine sauce...
it's 'pinochle', and it's a good game.

My best recollection is the following:
Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
Medicated monkey meat,
Little tiny baby feet,
French fried eyeballs floating in a pool of blood,
That's what I had for lunch!
<Too bad I forgot my spoon>

Oh well. I guess thats the end of this thread. The moral is that
nobody remembers it, and what everyone remembers is different from
everyone else. It's just like my argument with my girlfriend, except
moreso.
Ladies and Jellybeans, reptiles and crocodiles!
I stand before you and sit behind you to tell you something
I know nothing about. There will be a meeting tomorrow
night right after breakfast to decide what color

the door; plenty of seats so sit on the floor!
Any others?

All mixed up in a dirty, slimy toilet bowl

Okay, I've read every posting on this subject so far, and
haven't seen the version I remember from scout camp. Here
goes:
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gofer guts,
little blue birdie feet
big red chunks of monkey meat.

That's what I like to eat!

Well, this is the way I know it, or at least part of it:
The worms crawl in
The worms crawl out
They crawl in your stomach
and crawl out your snout.
Your stomach turns
a slimy green
It's the ugliest
sight you've seen.

Well, I first heard that one as:
Ladles and jelly-spoons!
I stand before you, to sit behind you,
To tell you something I know nothing about.
Next Thursday, which is Good Friday,
There will be a mothers' meeting,
For fathers only.
Admission free (pay at the door),
Bring your seats and sit on the floor.

Alright, you want a sick one? I thought so. Here goes..............
Moose pud, monkey slit, Orangutan snot

lumpy, bloody puss from the crack of a whore
put all together, bake it in a pie
hot glazed toppings from a dead dogs' eye
and me without my spoon
Great Green Gobs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts,
Mutilated Monkey Meat,
Dirty Little Birdy Feet,
Eighteen Eyeballs Walking Down Mainstreet,
and I forgot my Spoon.
All you guys are a little bit older than me, but this is the way I
remember it...
Enjoy...
