SONG
ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI, ALL COVERED WITH CHEESE
THERE SAT MY POOR MEATBALL, TIL SOMEBODY SNEEZED.
IT ROLLED OFF THE TABLE, AND ON TO THE FLOOR.
I SAW MY POOR MEATBALL ROLL RIGHT OUT THE DOOR.

PASTIME
THE FOLLOWING IS A VERSE SUNG AND PLAYED BY YOUNG CHILDREN. IT IS
ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS HAND MOTIONS WHICH ARE PLAYED AGAINST A
SECOND PERSON'S BACK. MM
GOING ON A TREASURE HUNT
X MARKS THE SPOT.
DOT, DOT, DASH, DASH, QUESTION MARK.
POKE HER HERE,
POKE HER THERE.
CLIMBING UP THE LADDER,
STEP BY STEP,
GUSHING THROUGH THE MUD.
COOL OCEAN BREEZE.
TIGHT SQUEEZE.
AND NOW YOU HAVE THE CHILLS.
Submitter comment:
THIS VERSE WAS FIRST HEARD BY THE COLLECTOR IN 1976 FROM A GRADE
SCHOOL AGE SISTER. THIS IS USUALLY CONSIDERED A PASTIME. HOWEVER,
WHEN THE OBJECT IS TO GIVE THE PERSON THE CHILLS, A GOAL IS
ESTABLISHED AND SUCCESS DEPENDS ON ITS ACHIEVEMENT. THE HAND
MOTIONS CORRELATE TO THE LINES SUNG. HERE, GUSHING IS AN EXAMPLE
OF AN ONOMATOPEIA.

JUVENILE DELINQUENTS
WHEN I WAS IN MY CATHOLIC GRADE SCHOOL, WE USED TO THINK THAT
WE WERE THE ULTIMATE IN "NAUGHTY" WHEN WE USED TO SING THIS
SONG BEHIND THE NUN'S BACKS. IT IS SUNG TO THE TUNE OF YANKEE
DOODLE DANDY.
WE ARE JUVENILE DELINQUENTS, WE ROAM THE STREETS TILL TWO A. M.
WE DRINK WITH THE SAILORS AND WE SMOKE WITH THE BUMS, WE WAIT
ON THE CORNER FOR PICKUPS TO COME. OH, WE ARE JUVENILE
DELINQUENTS, WE SLEEP IN BED BUT NOT ALONE... MOVE OVER BABY...
YOU'RE TAKING UP THE WHOLE DAMN BED AND THERE WAS GRANNY,
SWINGING ON THE OUTHOUSE DOOR... WITHOUT HER NIGHTY.. WAITING
FOR THE GARBAGE MEN, TO COME A RUNNING. OH WE ARE MAMA'S
JUVENILES. COME ON AND HUG ME. OH, WE ARE MAMA'S JUVENILES,
COME ON AND KISS ME. OH, WE ARE MAMA'S JUVENILES. DA DA DA.
