The one that has stuck with me over the years my granny taught me. This is the way I learned it (may not be the correct way). We used to swing on our swingset and sing these old songs.

Go tell Aunt Rhody

Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody
The old gray goose is dead.


The one she's been saving,
The one she's been saving,
The one she's been saving
To make her feather bed.


The goslings are crying,
The goslings are crying,
The goslings are crying,
Because their mother's dead.


The gander is weeping,
The gander is weeping,
The gander is weeping,
Because his wife is dead.


She died in the mill pond,
She died in the mill pond,
She died in the mill pond
From standing on her head.


Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody,
Go tell Aunt Rhody
The old gray goose is dead.
 

We were taught this one when we were little kids but today the censors bleep it out.

Another simple little word that has gone over to the dark side, very sad!

I KNOW A LITTLE *****

I know a little *****
Her coat is silver gray
She lives down in the meadow
Not very far away.
Though she is a *****
She’ll never be a cat.
She is a ***** willow.
Now what do you think of that!

WW2!! We used to sing "
The first marine he rang the bell and Parlez-vous, The second marine rang the bell and Parlez-vous, the third marine he rang the bell, the cook came out and gave him hell." Inky dinky parlez vous...We had no idea what it meant...
 
Does your chewing gum loose it's flavor on the bed post over night...

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 & right?
Does your chewing gum lose its flavor
on the bedpost overnight?


This is all I remember of it..I'm sure there's more.

My daddy was in the army..we learned the one about green grass hopper..

I don't know but I've been told....(I'll just leave it there)......those marchin' songs. LOL
 
This wasn't a song but my Dad used to say "I eat my peas with honey, I've done it all my life, it makes the peas taste funny but it holds 'em on my knife!"
 
I'll just post a couple of the verses.

[FONT=&quot]The ants go marching one by one
Hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one
Hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching one by one
The little one stops to suck his thumb
And they all go marching down to the ground to get out of the rain
Boom boom boom

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The ants go marching two by two
Hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two
Hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two
The little one stops to tie his shoe
And they all go marching down to the ground to get out of the rain
Boom boom boom

etc etc[/FONT]

Kinda sad how modern definitions have altered good words and now we need to be careful how we use them. P u s s y, Gay are two that come to mind.

Hello Operator...

Miss Mary had a steamboat
Steamboat had a bell
Miss Mary sat upon it and blew herself to...
Hello Operator give me number nine
If you disconnect me I'll kick you in
Behind the fridgerator was a piece of glass....

That was a camp favorite. I remember we had to sing for our supper...this was the go to song.
 
When I was in grammar school about once a week the teacher would hand out a little yellow song book. We used that same book for 8 years. From that book we sang Rubin,Rubin I've been thinking.Row Row Row your boat and a favorite of all my teachers who were mostly Italian we sang Santa Lucia.
