speshly at christmas:

We three kings of Orient are
One in a taxi, one in a car
One on a scooter, tooting his hooter
And smoking a big cigar
Oh, star of wonder, star of light
Batman caught his pants alight

Rainbow theme song

Up above the streets and houses
Bungle flying high
Opens up his legs
And does a *ffrrroooppp*
In Geoffrey's eye

(I'm not proud)

Jingle bells
Batman smells
Robin flew away
Kojak lost his lollipop

(can anyone fill in the last line, coz I've forgotten?)

What do you do
If you wanna go to poo?
In an English country garden
Pull down your pants
And suffocate the ants
In an English country graden

we used to sing

Pull up the grass
And wipe your smelly arse

― MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 4 December 2003 12:21 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, there was a whole song, but I couldn't remember the rest of it.

Down at Fraggle Rock
Catch a Fraggle by his cock
Throw him in the air
Catch his pubic hair

If you want some fun
Stick a chainsaw up his bum
Turn the chainsaw on
Now the Fraggle's gone!

there were lots of variants on Happy Birthday as well

for example:

Happy Birthday to you
Squashed tomatoes and stew
Bread and butter in the gutter
Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to you
Squashed tomatoes and stew
I saw a fat monkey
And I thought it was you

The English Country Garden one also had "pull a leaf and stick it underneath" as far as I remember.

Oh, and

Jingle bells
Batman smells
Robin flew away
Kojak lost his lollipop

...And found a Milky Way

And obviously, Georgie Best, superstar, walks like a woman and he wears a bra

Take or leave us
Only please believe us

Dude! It's "Respect your balls"!

Michelle, my bell, someday monkeys won't play piano songs

We three kings of OPEC are, raising the price of fuelling your car...

(Wow, that dates me, doesn't it?)

It's a rare condition, in this day and age, to read any good news on the newspaper page.. the lovin' tradition, in a grandma's eyes, some people say.. is even harder to find....
AND IT MUST BE SOME MAGIC GLUE, IN SIDE THESE GENTLE STALLS!!! because all I see, is a flowering wheel, and REAL LOVE BURSTING OUT OF EVERY SEAL!!!!! (drum beats, mr. winslow smiles)... DAYYYYS GO BYYYYY, it's the greater love of the FAMILY {scatting solo}.

Donuts make my brown eyes blooooooo.

I used to put the word 'stick it up your bum' in just about any song in which it scanned (and still do when the occasion takes me).

... particularly (and bizarrely) Squeeze's "Hourglass" - that chorus lends itelf perfectly to said words.

― darren (darren), Thursday, 4 December 2003 17:09 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm just a lumishee
And I won't work for nobody but you,
I'm just a lumishee,
A huggin', kissin' friend
