Remember any old silly verses etc you were told as a child

[Joto]

Thanks marmaryl that's quite original

[okismoki]

okismoki did you really say that when you were a little boy? yes you did didn't you:o:hihi:

oh yes,quite popular on buchanan road ,that one......specially with us living quite near the police houses,we used to sing it when old man mccudden or larkin left their houses in uniform to go on duty........from the safety of the high privet hedges.

[okismoki]

also this one....the boy stood on the burning deck,

with a pocket full of crackers,

the flames went up his trouser legs,

and burned his little kna*@ers.

this one wasn,t exactly a verse,but a variation of an old t.v advert

"what has a hazelnut in every bite?"

......."squirrel ****!!!!" this was usually sang by a line of lads,all with their arms round each others shoulders,usually until one of the lasses told the playground monitor,who in turn told a "yeti"(dinner lady) or teacher,at which point,the line would break and disperse FAST...getting caught meant having to explain to Miss Pattison,then slapped legs,and the sniggers of your mates when you went back to class.

once upon a time

the birds s**t on the line

the monkeys chewed tobacco

the little pigs run

with their fingers up their bum

to see what was the matter

[Joto]

I'm shocked that when I was young I never heard any of these, especially the risqu'e stuff.

maybe it's because I had three sisters and no brothers, yes that must be it, anyway thanks okismoki, and kezzzza

suzy suzy sits in a shoe shine shop

all day long she sits and shines

all day long she shines and sits

she sits and shines

and shines and sits

and sit and shines
