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

[thursday 10]

there was another song like that, normally sung at the end of term, which finished with the lines:-

 

"No more English, No more French

No more sitting on the old school bench!"

 

Did it go on with:

No more toil, no more sorrow,

no more school - we break up tomorrow.... ?

[Joanl 12]

I can hear my mother saying to my kids

 

Pata cake pata cake

Bakers man.

Make me a cake as fast as you can.

Prick it and stick it and mark it with X and throw it in't oven, for X and me.

[flashbang 10]

Chin, Chin, Chinaman,

Bought a penny doll.

Washed it, dressed it,

Found it wasn't well.

Took it to the Doctor,

But the Doctor wasn't in,

'Cos he had a pimple on his chin, chin, chin.

 

Not very PC, but we laughed ourselves silly in the '50s!

 

 

Yes that's the one. Thanks thursday.

the one I remember ended up with something like

 

"No more homework, no more books

No more teachers' dirty looks"

 

(I seem to remember a bit before the lines I quoted earlier but for the life of me I can't remember)

 

It's been a horrible horrible day, (best mate's dad's funeral ) I am emotionally and physically tired and I have complete and utter brain-fog, so I cannot think "straight" to save my life!

Sounds very much like Pink floyds Another brick in the wall. Perhaps the lyrics may have been taken from a rhyme ?

Sorry to hear that. Hope you recover soon.

 

No more school

no more stick

no more flippin arithmatic.

 

Something like that anyway chanted on the day we broke up for the holidays or half term (Friday and Monday then)

[convict621 10]

On seeing an ambulance.

 

Touch my knees,

Touch my nose,

Hope I never go,

In one of those.

 

Touching the knees and nose.

:loopy:One that my friend Jeremy taught me in primary school was, to the tune of Little Brown Jug, is

Ha ha ha,

He he he,

Stevens on the lavatory,

Singing songs, dropping bombs,

Nobody knows he's there.

 

And a final line that my friend claimed to have added himself

 

'Cos he's eaten a pear.

 

Round here there's an ice cream van that plays Little Brown Jug and even now, everytime (and I mean everytime), I hear it those words pop into my head.

[jmdee 10]

Sorry about the courseness,

 

Hark, hark the thunder's roaring,

must be the peas I had this morning,

quick, quick the closet door,

too late, too late, it's on the floor.

 

On a nicer note,

 

I eat my peas with honey,

I've done it all my life,

it makes the peas taste funny,

but it sticks them to the knife

I seem to remember Alice Cooper using it in the background of his hit from about 30 yrs ago, "School's Out For Summer".

Thanks Joan. I've been and had a rest, as I was feeling rotten. Feeling a bit better now, after a yucky day.

That's right it was Alice Cooper, and thanks for coming on here even though you wasn't feeling good. thanks everybody for your contributions.

 

You know that wedding song 'Here Comes the Bride'

Well when I was a girl, to that tune my friend would sing.......

 

Here comes the bride

All fat and wide

You can't see the bridegroom

For the size of the bride (of course I didn't join in )
