Not my title, that of a book out of the folklore section of Barnes & Noble. In fact, the rest of the title is "The Subversive Folklore of Childhood. Contains over 20 collected versions of the title children's playground travesty. Feel free to put up any that you might remember, like this one:
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
That I ran over with the mower.
One leg is broken, another is gone,
The third one is lying all over the lawn.
No need explaining the one remaining,
It's nailed to the kitchen door.
I'm looking over my dead dog Rover
That I ran over with the mower. |

Tra la la Boom-dee-ay!
There is no school today!
Our teacher passed away;
We through her in the bay!
We have a substitute;
She's in her bathing suit...
Tra la la Boom!
There's another more recent one about Barney the Annoying and Dumb Purple Dinosaur, but I'll have to get my kids to remind me of the words...

I love you
You love me
Barney gave me HIV...
To die will be an awfully big adventure.

Then there are the holiday themed ones:
Jingle bells, Santa smells,
Rudolph laid an egg.
Father Time
Has lost his mind,
And skipped past Christmas day,
Hey!
Or the un-Christmas-ey Marvel version:
Jingle bells, Batman smells,
Robin laid an egg.
The Batmobile
Lost a wheel,
And the Joker got away,
Hey!
To be repeated (with no other verses that I know of) until an adult makes that face that says, "One more peep outta you, and---!!!!!" 
I'll let you do the one about Chett's nuts roasting on an open fire... 
YOPP!!! |
