We sang (in primary (mid 70s to early 80s):

Yellow belly custard
Green snot pie
All mixed together with a dead dog's eye.
Slap it on a butty,
Nice and thick,
Wash it all down with a cup of cold sick.

Utterly minging, I know. 🤮 We were such foul wee buggers. 😅

Were there any other horrors doing the rounds at your school(s)? No mean/nasty stuff please. 🙂

I'm not the pheasant plucker
I'm the pheasant plucker's son
And I'm only plucking pheasants
Til the pheasant plucker comes.

We had:

I went to a Chinese restaurant to buy a loaf of bread, bread, bread.
He wrapped it up in a five pound note and this is what he said, said, said.
My name is hi lo trickalo
Trickalo hi lo
Hi lo trickalo
Trickalo hi

Clap hands above on "hi", below on"lo" and in the middle on "trick"

Yes! I remember doing a clapping song to these words too!! 😂
So many of these I remember singing at Brownies/school etc!

Whenever you see a hearse go by remember you're gonna die, oo ee, oo ee, remember you're gonna die.
They put you in a big black box and seal you in with nuts and bolts..
Last verse is the worms go in the worms go out, the worms go wriggling all about.

Whenever you see a hearse go by
Remember that you're going to die
la la la lalala la la la

They wrap you up in a long white shirt
And cover you in with loads of dirt
la la etc

The worms crawl in and the worms crawl out
And in your belly they wriggle about
la la etc

Your eyes fall in and your teeth fall out
Your brain goes trickling down your snout
la la etc

And

Say what you will, school dinners make you ill
Davy Crockett died of shepherd's pie
All school din dins come from pig bins
That's no lie

Sung to the tune of the tv show Out of Town, if anyone remembers that. The Hitler song is sung to the tune of Colonel Bogey.

I remember 'build a bonfire, build a bonfire' and Georgie Best, superstar.

I remember the pig swill bins in the dining room, that we scraped leftovers into!

"Down at Fraggle Rock,
Grab a fraggle by his cock,
Throw him in the air,
Catch him by his public hair,
Chuck him on the grass,
Put a chainsaw up his arse,
Turn the power on, vroom, vroom
Now the bustard's gone"

We sang this aged 10. Who teaches these to their kids?!

And one, and one

The story's begun in the bedroom, all day, and all of the night, and two, and two

He took off my shoe in the bedroom, all day, and all of the night, and three, and three

Etc. Other verses were
He undressed me (3)
We fell to the floor (4)
He took me to heaven (7)

I can't remember them all.

When Susie was a schoolgirl, a schoolgirl Susie was she said "Miss! Miss! I've got my knickers in a terrible twist!"
In our version teenage Susie just said Ooh, Ahh, I've left my bra in my boyfriend's car. Nothing about knickers.

We had baby Suzy saying “wah, wah”, child Suzy saying “Miss, Miss, I can’t do this! I’ve got my knickers in a dreadful twist”, and teenage Suzy saying “ooh! Ah! I’ve lost my bra! I left my knickers in my boyfriends car!”

We had a different version of this one too:

We are the tiger girls
We wear our frocks and curls
It costs you 50p
to have it off with me
Da da da dum di day
How did I get this way?
it was the boy next door
he got me on the floor
My mother was surprised
To see my belly rise
My father jumped for joy
it was a baby boy

We sang this in brownies, aged 8. God knows what Brown Owl was thinking. We also sang the Flannel Nightie song, milk milk lemonade, and “oh you’ll never get to heaven, on a bottle of gin. Cause god in heaven, don’t let spirits in”. Oh, and “Found a peanut”.

I want my hole, I want my hole,I want my holidays
To see the cunt, to see the cunt, to see the countryside
Fuck you, fuck you, for curiosity
I want my hole etc
Shock

Saschka · 03/09/2023 00:44

My mum sang this one in the 50s (they used to sing the alternative words in assembly etc, when there were too many of them singing for the teachers to tell who it was). Bit more innocent, but still impressive to sneak discussion of suicide methods into a Carol concert.

Hark the Herald Angels sing
Beechams pills are a very good thing
Some are meek and some are mild
One for an adult, Two for a child
if you wish to go to heaven
you should take at least eleven
If you wish to go to hell
you should eat the box as well
hark the herald angels sing
Beechams pills are a very good thing

HonoriaLucastaDelagardie · 03/09/2023 00:48

This one's not rude, but we used to sing

We four Beatles of Liverpool are
John in a taxi, Paul in a car
George on a scooter tooting the hooter
following Ringo Starr

"Eeny meany macaraca,
Dare di domeraca,

And a Pizza Hut,

Kentucky fried chicken,
And a Pizza Hut"

Autocorrect has cleaned this little song up a little 😆
Should be pubic hair
And
Bastard

We used to sing it to the Fraggle Rock theme tune.

When Suzy was a teenager
A teenager Suzy was
she said ooh ah I’ve lost my bra
i left my knickers in my boyfriend’s car

i was 5! No idea what it meant.

We did that went right from being a baby to old age to being a skeleton!

Here’s Maggie thatcher (ideally you’d have a stick figure drawn on one hand)
throw her up and catch her
squish squash squish squash
heres Maggie thatcher (point to the other hand where you’ve drawn a big squiggly mess)

not the most disgusting, but I bet 6 year olds aren’t singing about killing Rishi Sunak…

can you tell I grew up in a pit village?

Clapping game:

I went to a Chinese tea shop
To buy a loaf of bread, bread, bread.
He wrapped it up in a five pound note
And this is what he said, said, said.
My name is Ess Eye, Ess Eye, Chicken Eye, Chicken Eye,
Ompompola, Chinese teacups, Bottle of Whisky,
ABC, 1, 2, 3, Out Of Space!

Similar but we said

I went to a Chinese takeaway to buy a loaf of bread bread bread
He wrapped it up in a five pound note and this is what he said said said
My name is Elvis Presley, girls are sexy
Sitting in the back seat drinking Pepsi
If you drink Pepsi you are sexy. If you drink coke you will smoke
Umpah umpah stick it up your jumper

ElEmEnOhPee · 03/09/2023 01:36

OMG we sang so many of these!! We also used to sing, at aged 9/10

Walking down Canal street knocking on every door
God damn son of a bitch I couldn't find a whore
Finally found a whore she was tall and thin
God damn son of a bitch I couldn't get it in
Finally got it in wiggled it about
God damn son of a bitch I couldn't get it out
Finally got it out it was red and sore
Moral of the story is to never fuck a whore

Mumtobabyhavoc · 03/09/2023 01:45

I just remembered a Popeye one:
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man;
Popeye the Sailor Man
I love to go swimmin'
with bare-naked women,
I'm Popeye the Sailor Man.

Not nearly as dirty as some ditties on here!

My Bonnie lay over the gas tank
the height of its contents to see
she lighted a match to assist her
oh bring back my Bonnie to me

OneForTheRoadThen · 03/09/2023 02:29

Down in Fraggle Rock
Grab a Fraggle by its cock
Swing it round your head
Now it's fucking dead
Put it in a pit
Bury it in piles of shit

To the tune of Frere Jaques:

Our school dinners
Our school dinners
concrete chips
concrete chips
Soggy semolina
Soggy semolina
I feel sick
Toilet quick

We got bollocked for singing this in the dinner queue. But we sang it anyway.

Our last lines after "I feel sick" was...

Get a bowl quick
Too late
Done it on the plate.

Much more appropriate for the dinner queue 😂

We were 12 or 13, on a school coach coming back from Wembley and were singing a range of rude songs. Driver drew the bus into the kerb and refused to carry on driving until we stopped singing 😂. Struggling to remember how they were so offensive now

Not necessarily a rude rhyme, but this video is great!

Version I heard:
Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away
The Batmobile lost its wheel on the M6 motorway!

For some reason we had "Mr Silly lost his willy on the motorway."

Tygertiger · 03/09/2023 09:03

love these and can remember lots of them! Not sure we’ve had these two:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me
I think I’ll eat some wo-or-orms (hard to recreate - you had to say worms but draw it out with the pitch going up in the middle)
Short fat hairy ones
Looooong thin slimy ones
Itsy-bitsy-witsy-witsy wo-or-orms
Itsy-bitsy-witsy-witsy-worms

and
(Holding hands together)
I’ve got a baby bumblebee,
wont my mummy be surprised at me?
I’ve got a baby bumblebee….
ow! It’s stung me!

(squishing hand gestures)

I’m squishing up my baby bumblebee,
Won’t my mummy be surprised at me?
I’m squishing up my baby bumblebee…
eeew! What a mess!

this then went through licking up and sicking up the bee, lovely.

Another one I just remembered

Do your balls hang low
Can you swing them to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot
Can you tie them in a bow
Do your balls hang low
Can you swing them to and fro
Can you tie them in a knot
Can you tie them in a bow
Can you swing them over your shoulder
Like the red janmejal told ya
Do your balls hang low

We had in Brownies

Do your ears hang low

Perhaps it was updated
