I must enter a message when posting

I only after posting realized that I'd already seen this in zaq's "immediate reactions" post ...

An old popular song, of which the refrain is:

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
If your mother says don't chew it, do you swallow it in spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils, can you heave it left and right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?

not saying those aren't right, but I remember different lyrics:

Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
If you chew it in the morning will it be too hard to bite?
Can't you see I'm going crazy, won't somebody set me right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?


this might just be one of those childhood songs that have multiple versions Very Happy

I know zaq's version. In fact, my immediate reaction was "No, but if my mother says don't chew it, I swallow it in spite."

So who remembers the chicken song with its dozens of verses? The first verse goes like so:

We had a chicken, no eggs would she lay (2x)
My wife said, Honey, this isn't isn't funny, we're losing money
Because she won't lay eggs.

One day a rooster came into our yard
And caught that chicken right off of her guard...
She laying eggs now, she never used to, until that rooster came into our yard (2x)

from there on the avian/ovian/poultry puns run riot, the worse, the better. As in:

We had a Shakespearean actor, no roles would he play(2x)
My wife said, Honey, this isn't isn't funny, we're losing money
Because he won't play roles.

One day a rooster came into our yard
And caught that Shakespearean actor right off of his guard...
He's playing "omelet", he never used to, until that rooster came into our yard (2x)

We had a comedian, no jokes would he tell (2x)
My wife said, Honey, this isn't isn't funny, we're losing money
Because he won't tell...jokes.

One day a rooster came into our yard
And caught that comedian right off of his guard...
He's telling yolks now, he never used to, until that rooster came into our yard--
He's "laying eggs" now, he never used to, until that rooster came into our yard.

my mom used to sing it, "they're laying eggs now, just like they used tuh, ever since that roost-tuh came into the yard!" those were the only words she taught me. ;-)

and concerning the gum song, my grandfather taught me:

Does the chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight?
If you chew it in the morning do you think it'd taste alright?
Can't you see I'm going crazzzzzzzzzy? Will someone set me righhhhhhhhhht?

How about this one--how many verses do you know:

Sort of original version:

They say that in the Army
The coffee's mighty fine
It's good for cuts and bruises,
And tastes like turpentine!
Oh, I don't want no more of Army life
Gee, Ma, I wanna go
back to O_H_I_O (alternate version "Ontario" for Canadians)
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home.

Then come the camp versions:

They say that in Camp Whatsit (sub name of your camp)
The rolls are mighty fine,
One fell of the table, and killed a friend of mine
Oh I don't wanna go to Camp Whatsit,
Gee Ma, I wanna go
Back to the place I know
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home.

They say that in Camp Whatsit,
Canteen is mighty fine,
You ask for orange soda,
They give you lemon-lime.
Oh I don't wanna go to Camp Whatsit
Gee Ma, I wanna go
Back to the place I know
Gee, Ma, I wanna go home.

Etc. There are infinite variations

And I knew a totally different version of that "chicken song" - thanks for getting it into my head. It went something like this:

I had a cow, no milk she'd give, (x2)
My wife said
Honey, this isn't funny, we're losing money, why won't she give?

One day an earthquake rolled into the yard
And knocked the cow right off its guard
It's giving milkshakes, it never used to
Bum bada dum dum dum.

There were loads of verses, all corny, and now I can't remember the rest of them... There was a sheep who wouldn't give wool and was knocked by a robber, then gave "steal" wool... I'm sure as the night goes on I'll remember more!

ETA an oven and a policeman - it gave "cop"cakes

They say that in Camp Whatsit,
The laundry's really fine.
They flush it down the toilet,
And hang it on the line.
Oh I don't want to go to Camp Whatsit.
Gee Ma, I wanna go,
Back to the city, oh,
Gee Ma I wanna go home.

Thanks for that memory, zaq. I wonder why they didn't want us singing it in the dining hall?

I wish I was a little fishy in the sea,
I wish I was a little fishy in the sea,
I'd swim around so cute
Without my bathing suit,
I wish I was a little fishy in the sea.

I wish I was a mosquito
I wish I was a mosquito
I busy and bitey
Under everybody's nighty
I wish I was a mosquito

They say that in they Navy, the rolls are very fine,
One fell off the table and killed a pal of mine

Gee ma, I want to go ho-o-ome.

They say that in the Navy the clothes are very fine,
Me and my buddy can both fit into mine

Gee ma, I want to go ho-o-ome

They say that in the Navy the nurses are very fine,
Most are over 80 and the rest are under 9

Oh, I don't want no more of Navy life,
Gee Ma, I want to go,
But they won't let me go,
Gee Ma I want to go ho-o-ome
