Modern Day Children's Rhymes

To hell with jack prat and jack and hill, when I was a kid this is the stuff I sang:

1) Miss Mary Mack, mack mack
All dressed in black, black black
Wil silver buttons buttons buttons
All down her back back back
She can not read read read
She can not write write write
But she can smoke smoke smoke
Her father's pipe pipe pipe
She asked her mother mother mother
For fifty cents cents cents
To see the elephants elephants elephants
Jump the Fence fence fence
They jumped so high high high
They reached the sky sky sky
And didn't come back back back
'Til the fourth of July!

2) Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg.
Batmobile lost its wheel and the Joker got away!

3) Batman's in the kitchen
Robin's in the hall
Joker's in the bathroom,
Peeing on the wall!

4) Hello operator, a) Give me number nine
b) And if you don't connect me, I'll kick you in behind
c) the 'frigerator, there was a piece of glass,
d) Mary sat on it and broke her little
e) Ask me no more questions, Tell me no more lies,
f)And if you don't repeat me, I'll kick you in behind
go to b)

5) The princess pat (repeat each line)
Lived in a tree
And sailed across
the seven seas
She sailed across
The channel two
And took with her
A rigabamboo
A rigabamboo?
Now what is that?
It's red and gold
And yellow too
That's why it's called
A rigabamboo.
Now Captain Jack
Had a mighty fine crew
He sailed across
The Channel two
His ship did sink
And yours will too
If you don't take
A rigabamboo.

Note; if it's not in my book of children's stories and poems, it's not 'old'. So don't give me any crap about merrimack and the monitor or whatever.

there once was a man in nantucket.. :bigsmile:

Milk milk lemonade, around the corner's where chocolate is made.

I saw a bird (repeat each line)
With a yellow bill!
It sat right down
On my window sill.
I coaxed it in
With a glass of lemonade.
Then blew it up
with a hand grenade!

And variations thereof.

The way I heard it was:
"Jingle bells, Batman smells
Robin laid an egg
The Batmobile lost its wheel
And Batgirl broke her leg."

I hereby decree that my version is better because
A. It rhymes
And B. This is the way it was before The Simpsons came along and changed it to your version.

But this was the way it was in a Batman commercial for Christmas special a long time ago. :cry:

Singing nursery rhymes can be hazardous to your health.

Modern Day Children's Rhymes? ...

...

...

OH! You mean rap!

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe
She had so many children she didn't know what to do
She gave them some broth without any bread
She whipped them all soundly and put them to bed

Oh, Mother Goose, you slay me.

Don't tell me about a long time ago. I heard it the correct way before you were born. And that's longer than your long time ago.

EDIT: And now, don't you look ridiculous with your quote including a typo that I obviously didn't make because it's not in my original post nor in the quote pyramid above?

Listen, the version I learned has internal rhyme, and besides, egg and away pretty much DO rhyme. You just say it 'aig' and forget to say much of the g.

There once a man named enis...

And then there's the modified version that fits today's "don't beat your kids" standards.

There was an old woman
Who lived in a shoe
She was a kindhearted mom
Who knew exactly what to do

She raised all her children
With patience and love
Never once did she give them
A spank, shake or shove

Her children all learned
To be gentle toward others
And good parents too
When they became fathers and mothers

From their days in the shoe
They learned this about living
Kindness, not force
Is the gift that keeps giving

It's much lamer than the original.

lol i like

1 2 freddies commin for you
3 4 better lock your door
4 5 grab your crusafix
7 8 dont stay up late

i didnt exactly play nice when i was little

I just checked your profile and I heard the correct version before you were born too. What is it with kids these days? Some television show comes and changes the words to a silly rhyme and everyone born after the fact forgets the way it was originally.

There's a difference between a rhyme and an approximate rhyme, by the way. I remember, back in the day, when all silly little rhymes actually rhymed.

Not that any of this has any bearing on actual life, of course. It's a silly thing to argue about.

well, I learned it from my siblings who are both older than you (27 and 30) so we're square 8)

There may be a difference between rhyme and approximate rhyme, but only semantics. They still sound pleasing to the ear 8)

Dude, chill. I didn't change anything in the quote, and if anything is changed it wasn't intentional. So no, I don't feel ridiculous. It's only a goddamned small difference in the rhyme, it doesn't really matter. :p

Dude, I fixed the typo. It was a joke. A joke I was making in light of my typo. It's okay. You can laugh. Go back and read it from the beginning. You'll notice what I'm talking about.

And Rubah, apparently you haven't read the links in my sig. I usually don't like to correct people when they think I'm younger than I am. I had a coworker think I was 18 the other day. And I'm not going to tell you how old I am, just that my profile birthdate isn't my official birthdate.

Dude, K'.

As for the topic, "Hush Little Baby" done by Harry and Lloyd of Dumb and Dumber come to mind. :D
