Childhood Chants Remembered

Yep @Mary Robi ....I just couldn’t remember the last line so I didn’t post that part.

 

Whistle while you work
Hitler was a jerk
Mussolini bit his weenie
Now it doesn't work

 

LOL...

Our version much later than the war years in the 60's was..

Whistle while you work
Snow-white made a shirt
Sneezy wore it,
grumpy tore it..
Dopey made it worse...

 

I never heard either one Lulu and Holly.

 

Here’s a simple one.....

I scream
You scream
We all scream
For ice cream

I C U P

 

I still sing that Chrissy and my waistline is begging me to stop!

 

I forgot "Miss Mary":

Miss Mary had a baby.
She named him Tiny Tim.
She put him in a bathtub
To see if he could swim.

He drank up all the water.
He ate up all the soap.
He tried to eat the bathtub,
But it got stuck in his throat.

Miss Mary called the doctor
The doctor called the nurse.
The nurse called the lady
With the alligator purse.

"It's measles" said the doctor.
"It's mumps" said the nurse.
"It's teething" said the lady
With the alligator purse.

Miss Mary slapped the doctor.
The doctor slapped the nurse.
The nurse slapped the woman
With the alligator purse.

Away ran the doctor.
Away ran the nurse.
Away ran the lady
With the alligator purse.

 

never heard that one before @Mary Robi

 

Any girl's name will do:

"I see London
I see France
I see Susie's Underpants!"

 

During WW2, there were plenty of barbs against the Axis Powers:

Here's one we kids used to chant during the War Years:

"Tojo's in the guard house, eatin' Bread and Beans.
Hitler's in the bath tub, sinkin' Submarines!"

There were many others, which I no longer remember.....

There was something we chanted at the end of term that referred to 'only more day of sorrow.'cos we'll be home tomorrow'.I can't remember the start of the chant.Annoying..

 

Maybe:

No more days of pain,
no more days of sorrow.
One more day in this old dump
and we'll be home tomorrow!

 

Thanks.

 

How about a cheer?

"Rah rah ree
Kick 'em in the knee!
Rah rah rass
Kick 'em in the other knee!!

 

It's Ellet!
You can smell it!
