I LEARNED THE FIRST VERSION OF THIS SONG WHEN I WAS IN THE FOURTH
GRADE. IT WAS OUR FAVORITE CLASS SONG. WE USED TO SING IT ALL
THE TIME ON THE LUNCH HOUR. SOME OF THE MORE DARING KIDS EVEN
SANG IT DURING MUSIC CLASS. THE SECOND VERSION IS ONLY SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT. IT IS THE ONE THAT MY SEVENTH GRADE SISTER CLAIRE LEARNED
WHEN SHE WAS IN ABOUT THE FOURTH GRADE.

IN THE SHADE OF MY OLD MODEL T,
WHERE BETSY FIRST SHOWED IT TO ME.
IT WAS LONG AND WAS BLACK;
SHE CALLED IT HER CRACK,
BUT IT LOOKED LIKE A MAN HOLE TO ME.
SO I WHIPPED OUT MY FORTY FOOT POLE
AND RAMMED IT DOWN BETSY'S MANHOLE.
AS I TURNED ON THE STEAM
SHE LET OUT A SCREAM
IN THE SHADE OF MY OLD MODEL T.
