Alpo Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I've been trying to dig these childish rhymes out of memory, but they're not all there. This first one is dirty - or dirty for a 7 year old anyway. The last word of the four line verse is also the first word of the next four line verse. You start saying the word, and draw it out so it's much longer than you would normally pronounce it, to make it the first word of the next verse. Hello operator Give me number nine I DON'T REMEMBER THE THIRD LINE I'll kick your big Behind the kitchen door There was a piece of glass Mary slipped and fell on it And cut her little Ask me no more questions I'll tell you no more lies THERE ARE TWO MORE LINES BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THEM This seem familiar to anybody? This next one was, I believe, something little girls chanted while skipping rope. My mommy told me If I was goody That she would buy me A rubber dolly My auntie told her I kissed a soldier (my mother told me that she learned this line as SO PLEASE DON'T TELL HER I KISSED A FELLER) Now she won't buy me A rubber dolly 3 6 9 the goose drank wine The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line The line broke, the monkey got choked And we all went to heaven on a little red boat clap clap I THINK THERE WAS A THIRD VERSE TO THIS ONE, BUT AGAIN, I CAN'T REMEMBER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was rowboat. I could hear the r sound in my mind, and it was a short one syllable word, so red fit. But row seems better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many people said the same thing - we jumped rope with this on the playground in the 60s. Either that or - I never knew this was a real song. That was me - I never knew this was a real song. Until I found out Mama knew words to it I thought it had been made up at my elementary school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed summons to the principal's office at best, and possible visit from CPS or some other authority-figure types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canton Chris Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 The way I remember this one is: Ask me no more questions I’ll tell you no more lies If you ever get hit with a bucket of sh*t Be sure and close your eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
