To <em>hell</em> 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) <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Susie">Hello operator, a) Give me number nine</a>
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.
