Do you know this song?

[paigevz]

Oh gosh, I am remembering now:

Little White Duck sittin' in the water, little white duck doin' what he oughter


and There's a hole in the bucket

and The green grass grew all around all around the green grass grew all around

and On the Big Rock Candy Mountain you never change your socks and little streams of alcyhol come a tricklin' down the rocks

I also remember that there was a funny song using the names of the states

I remember a jumping rhyme that started:

A my name is Alice, my husband's name is Al, we come from Alabama and we sell Apples and so on through the alphabet.

We also sang "Found A Peanut" and "__________'s Bus" - insert your bus driver's name while riding to camp.

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut, just now.
Just now I found a peanut, found a peanut just now.

It was rotten, it was rotten
It was rotten just now,
Just now it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.

Ate it anyway, ate it anyway, etc.

Got a tummyache, etc

Called the doctor, etc

Operation, etc

Died anyway, etc

Went to heaven, etc

Met St Peter, etc

Didn't like him, etc

Went the other way, etc

Met the devil, etc

I can't remeber what happened after meeting the devil! Darn.

Also, the bus one was,

"Oh you can't get to heaven, (sung by starter)
Oh you can't get to heaven (sung by whole group)
On roller skates (s)
On roller skates (g)
Cause you might miss
The pearly gates (s)

Oh you can't get to heaven, etc repeated by whole group,

I ain't gonna cry, no more, my lord.

I remember: evening gown, might fall down ; bathing suit, look too cute; new sports car, won't go that far, along with the "Can't get to heaven on John's bus, cause John's bus, puts up a fuss."

People were supposed to make up verses when there was a lull in the singing, so there would be different leaders.

great big gobs of greasy grimey gofer guts
mutilated monkey meat
itty bitty birdy feet
great big jars of all purpose porpus pus
and I forgot my spoon

Would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a mule?

A mule is an animal with long funny ears
Kicks up at anything he hears
His back is brawny but his brain is weak
He's just plain stupid with a stubborn streak
And by the way, if you hate to go to school
You may grow up to be a mule

Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a pig?

A pig is an animal with dirt on his face
His shoes are a terrible disgrace
He has no manners when he eats his food
He's fat and lazy and extremely rude
But if you don't care a feather or a fig
You may grow up to be a pig

Or would you like to swing on a star
Carry moonbeams home in a jar
And be better off than you are
Or would you rather be a fish?

A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook
He can't write his name or read a book
To fool the people is his only thought
And though he's slippery, he still gets caught
But then if that sort of life is what you wish
You may grow up to be a fish
A new kind of jumped-up slippery fish

And all the monkeys aren't in the zoo
Every day you meet quite a few
So you see it's all up to you
You can be better than you are
You could be swingin' on a star

This song was on the B side of a 45 my brother had. The A side was a personalized birthday song.

It started off:

Hey Kenny, it's your birthday
I'm in charge of the stars
and I'm here.......

I don't remember the rest though.


Does anyone remember these records or the whole song? I remember the records were sold at K-Mart. Everytime we went there I went to check to see if they had my name in stock. I never got one though.

I heard that it sounded like Daisy Duck singing Mairzy Doats. I think that's who is singing Little Bunny Foo Foo and Three Little Fishes. I don't know who sings Skip Along Tippy Toes, The Pizza Pie Song, The peanut sat on a railroad track, In my pocket, Way down here beneath the ocean, or Bill Grogan's goat.
