Shavua tov, shampoo and soap
We ask of you to take a shower
But pls don't take a half an hour

We have a waitress
She is the greatest
Who is she? ------

Not sure if anyone said this yet but this was the craziest song we sang.
Suffocation, retro suffocation,
That's the game we like to play.
First u take a plastic bag,
Then u put it on your head,
Got to bed, wake up dead,
Tralalalala!

We used to sing,
"There was an old lady, who swallowed a fly,
I don't know why, she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she'll die."

Recently my son came home and his morah had taught him
"There was an old lady who swallowed some snow,
I don't know why she swallowed some snow,
Perhaps you know?"

I had to laugh at the cleaned up version. Apparently our kids are too sensitive to hear the word die these days, lol

Crack an egg on your head
let the yolk drip down

I also remember the hand massage where you would make a fist and someone would touch your fingers and then wave their hands up and your hand would tickle

I happen to like this one better! The swallowing a fly version always grossed me out.

Once I ran a candy store
And business was so bad
I asked my mother what to do
And this is what she said.

Take a can of gasoline
And put it by the door
Take a match and give a scratch
And no more candy store.

Miss Mary Mack Mack Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
Going down her back, back, back.

She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents cents cents
To see the elephants elephants elephants
They jump so high high high
They reach the sky sky sky
They never come back back back
Until July!

But how does that work with the rest of the song?

...She swallowed the dog to catch the cat
How bout that? She swallowed a cat!
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird
How absurd! She swallowed a bird.
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wiggled and jiggled and tickled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly
I don't know why she swallowed a fly.
Perhaps she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse
She died, of course.

Oh my, this thread really made me laugh!

Quote:
The farmer picks a wife
The farmer picks a wife
Hi ho the cherry o the farmer picks a wife

The wife picks something... something

The cheese stands alone
The cheese stands alone
Hi ho the cherry o the cheese stands alone
(So sad)


I remember when I was 4 years old and we played this, and when they all stood around pointing to me and yelling "the cheese stands alone", I burst out crying!

....
Let the chills run up
Let the yolk drip down
Let the chills run up

Spiders crawling everywhere
Making cobwebs
On your shoulder
2X

Next stanza too gory. Especially in light of recent tragedy...

I rode around the corner
And I rode around the block
And I rode right in
To a bakery shop
And I asked for a donut
And I wiped off the grease
And I handed over
A five cent piece.
She looked at the nickel
And she looked at me
And she said to me
Can you plainly see
There's a hole in the nickel,
There's a hole right through!
And I said,
There's a hole in the donut too

Meanwhile I just want to know where you can buy a donut for 5 cents

That could be but there's a stanza before
Stick a ..... in your back
Let the .... run down
