MISS SUZI HAD A TUG BOAT, THE TUG BOAT HAD A BELL.
MISS SUZI WENT TO HEAVEN, THE TUG BOAT WENT TO
HELL-O OPERATOR, PLEASE GIVE ME NUMBER NINE, AND
IF YOU DISCONNECT ME, I'LL KICK YOU RIGHT BEHIND
THE 'FRIGERATOR, THERE LAID A PIECE OF GLASS,
MISS SUZI FELL UPON IT AND BROKE HER LITTLE
AS-K ME NO MORE QUESTIONS, PLEASE TELL ME NO MORE
LIES, MISS SUZI TOLD ME ALL OF THIS THE DAY BEFORE SHE
DIED HER HAIR ALL PURPLE, SHE DYED HER HAIR ALL RED,
SHE DYED HER HAIR ALL POLKA DOTS AND IT ALL RAN DOWN
THE SINK, GLUG, GLUG, GLUG.

A VERY POPULAR GAME WE USED TO PLAY WHEN I WAS YOUNG
WAS "MONKEY IN THE MIDDLE." THREE PEOPLE WOULD
PARTICIPATE USUALLY. ONE PERSON WAS THE MONKEY AND HE
WOULD TRY TO CATCH THE BALL THE OTHER TWO PLAYERS
WERE PASSING TO EACH OTHER. IF THE MONKEY SUCCEEDED
TO INTERCEPT THE BALL, THE PERSON WHO FAILED TO CATCH
WAS THEN THE MONKEY. SOMETIMES WE'D PLAY SO THAT THE
PERSON WHO THREW THE INTERCEPTED BALL HAD TO BE THE
MONKEY.
