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

[sharrovian 10]

Ah Ah eee pony, Chita pony, Alabalaweska tin pan dory, Chita pan Chita pan

Chinese chu chu.

 

The only thing I can say about this is my mother taught it me and it must have Heeley origins.

[wykewatson 10]

if ifs and ands were pots and pans there would be no need for tinkers

if ifs and buts were apples and nuts all the children would fill their guts.

[flashbang 10]

Can anyone remember something about a China man had a China doll? Don't know if it's a song or a rhyme, been bugging me for ages.

[chuffinel 10]

What about ?

Dan,Dan the dirty old man

Washed his face in a frying pan

Combed his hair with a three legged chair

Dan,Dan the dirty old man.

[Tuppie 10]

How about.

 

Chin Chin Chinaman, kept a little shop.

All he sold, was peppermint rock.

He tiddled in a bottle and called it pop

Chin Chin Chinaman kept a little shop.

Can anyone remember something about a China man had a China doll? Don't know if it's a song or a rhyme, been bugging me for ages.

 

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!

[Steptoad 12]

PS Sorry for the mistake, and by the way I'm still married to the same man!

 

That's OK, I was just a little freaked out as I thought I was in disguise on this board.

[Fareast 10]

Our maths teacher taught us a useful one in case our brains froze over in an exam :-

 

Diddle e dum,

Diddle e dee,

A ring round the moon is Pi D,

But if the area is preferred,

Use the formula Pi R squared.

[lubylou 10]

My mum used to sing,

"oh dear, what can the matter be

(insert name) has fell down the lavatory

she,s/he,s been there from monday to saturday

nobody knows she/he was there

I actually sang that to my daughter this morning, and because i had said her name in it she asked if it was a real song about a Katy

[Di-namic 10]

One my Dad told us -

 

One cold evening in the middle of Summer

A fire broke out in an empty house full of furniture.

The old man, not knowing, ran downstairs, without his wooden leg

fell over the dead cat and nearly killed it !

Anyone remember this ,

Build a bonfire,build a bonfire,

Put the teachers on the top,

Put the prefects in the middle.

And burn the Bl**dy lot.

[Plain Talker 11]

Anyone remember this ,

Build a bonfire,build a bonfire,

Put the teachers on the top,

Put the prefects in the middle.

And burn the Bl**dy lot.

 

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!"
