I was thinking about this the other day. I don't know if it's still the case, but kids had these weird chants and songs that were passed down from generation to generation. Two that come to mind are... Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school
We have tortured every teacher we have broken every rule
We have shot the secretary, we have burned the Principal
His truth is marching on!
Glory, glory had a lew ya.
Teacher hit me with a rulah.
Met her at the door with a loaded 44
And the teacher don't teach no more.And, some really weird chant that had a million verses...I can only remember the opening. I got a letter from the Board of Education
To perform an operation on a girl
etc.Did you guys have any of these growing up? My neighborhood was pretty bad...so maybe only hoods with a large percentage of future felons had these.  |

I remember hearing that Glory, Glory one once or twice, but it was never big. Probably around 5th or 6th grade.
Honestly, a lot of nursery rhymes & such were pretty weird. Think about "Ring Around The Rosie" and then think about how it was about the Black Plague. Why are kids singing this now? That's horrifying. And "Pop Goes The Weasel"? The monkey catches the weasel and then squeezes it to death! It's a wonder some of us are not desensitized to such things!

Does the "Meatball" song count? On top of spaghetti All covered with cheese I lost my poor meatball When somebody sneezed. It rolled off the table And on to the floor And then my poor meatball Rolled right out the door It rolled in the garden And under a bush And now my poor meatball Was nothing but mush. The mush was as tasty As tasty could be And then in the summer It grew into a tree. The tree was all covered All covered with moss On it grew meatballs covered in sauce There was a "bad" version, but I can't remember what the bad parts were.  |

When I was at "junior school" (ages 7-11) we used to sing:
Hitler has only got one ball,
The other is in the Albert Hall.
His mother, the dirty bugger,
Cut it off when he was small.
This was 35 years after WWII...

Another junior school favourite...
English Country Garden
What do you do if you wanna do a poo in an English country garden?
You pull down yer pants and paralyse the ants in an English country garden.
What do you do if you wanna do a poo in an English country garden?
Put it on a spade and chuck it in the shade in an English country garden.
It goes on...

A boy stood on a burning deck,
Eating red hot scallops.
One fell down his trouser leg,
And burnt him on the... knee.

In Cub Scouts we used to sing...
Quartermaster's Store
There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats,
At the store, at the store.
There are rats, rats, as big as alley cats,
At the Quartermaster's store.
Chorus:
My eyes are dim, I can not see.
I have not brought my specks with me.
I have not brought my specks with me.
This goes on with various different animals. For some reason, our "Akela" changed the lyrics to...
Akela, Akela, snogging with a sailor,
In the store, in the store.
Akela, Akela, snogging with a sailor,
At the Quartermaster's store.

Oh yeah...I just remembered...the girls used to sing this...
Hell-O everybody
If you're good you'll go to heaven
If you're bad you'll go to
Hell-O everybody
(repeats endlessly)

Comet!
It tastes like gas-o-line.
Comet.
It makes your lips turn green.
Comet.
It makes you vomit.
So get Comet, and vomit, today.
A slightly different version...

joy to the world
the school burnt down
and all the teachers died
the principal is dead
we shot him in the head
the janitor is gone
we flushed him down the john
I can't believe we did all this
our homework wasn't done.
