Amazing what Yahoo can come up with (Other search engines are available !!)

Nebuchadnezzar, King of the Jews

Bought his wife a pair of shoes;

When the shoes began to wear

Nebuchadnezzar began to swear

When the swearing had to stop

Nebuchadnezzar bought a shop

When the shop began to sell

Nebuchadnezzar bought a bell

When the bell began to ring

Nebuchadnezzar began to sing:

Doh , ray, mee. far. soh, la, tee doh - I've got a pimple on my toe - that was the last line we sang when I was a child :)

Vaguely recall a revolting rhyme about "...a dead dog's eye, all mixed together with [something or other]..."!

Sure that someone can dot the i's and cross the t's.

Cheers

Robt P.

Roly poly green snot pie all mixed up with a dead dog's eye.

Spread it on bread, nice and thick and swallow it down with a glass of cold sick!

 

Always made me feel sick just thinking of it lol!

Mary Brown from the mountain glen

Screwed* herself with a fountain pen

The pen ran wild

She had a blue-black child

 

And she called it Stephen

'cos that was the name of the ink.

 

*Screwed wasn't the word in the original version.

 

Didn't understand it at the time and was told off on numerous occasions for reciting it - although I did overhear my dad telling it to one of his mates.

Oh !!  said "Piggy that's not fair "

Are said the engine "I don't care".

After shaking my finger at my naughty cat this morning, I was reminded of:

 

See my finger

See my thumb 

See my fist

And you'll get some.

Sugar and spice and all things nice; that's what little girls are made of

Slugs and snails and puppy dogs' tails; that's what little boys are made of!

We sang, on the last day of term.

 

No more days of school

No more days of sorrow

No more days in this old dump

And we'll have fun tomorrow.
