Disgusting rhymes you sang in the school play ground or yard (primary or secondary)

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. 🙂

We had in Brownies

Do your ears hang low

Perhaps it was updated

We sang 'do your boobs hang low'

& Regimental soldier.

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 😂

Oh god we sang this too! I’d forgotten. I didn’t even eat school lunches 🤣

My gran said she used to sing:
Riddler riddler ree
I saw a fat man pee!
He peed so fast, he made me laugh,

Riddle riddler ree.

At primary we had a song about the teletubbies to the tune of the Barney song -
I love Po
Po loves me
Let's get together and kill Dipsy
With a sword and a stone and a bullet in the head
Sorry Lala Dipsy's dead

😬

Couple of Scots ditties...

Skinny Malinky Long Legs had big banana feet,
He went to the pictures and couldnae find a seat,
When the picture started, Skinny Malinky farted,
Skinny Malinky Long Legs had big banana feet!

Keek Bum and Toley Fart baith went doon to the public baths,
Keek Bum couldnae swim, so Toley Fart pushed him in!

(Keek is a Scots word for poop - aka a jobby 😂 - and is spelt keech in the Scots vernacular).

We had a skipping song about kisses, the only line I remember is 'buy me chips, to grease my lips' (and we changed that latter line to 'squeeze my tits' 😂)

To the tune of rhythm is a dancer...

Rhythm is a dancer
Smoking gives you cancer
Needles give you HIV
Dogs give you rabies
Sex gives you babies...

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.

My 3yo came home from nursery earlier in the year singing about squashing up a baby bumble bee 😳

Shine up your buttons with brasso,
It's only 3 ha'pence a tin,

I've realised that my memory yesterday about this song was wrong .

We sung

'Shine your windows with rhubarb
Only twopence a tin '

And the first line was 'my dog is a lavatory cleaner'

And another verse for 'down the dark alley' was

The next time I met her, I met her in check
All in check, all in check
I rang her bloody neck
Down the dark alley where nobody goes

I think the posters on the thread about dodgy morals in pop songs need to have a look over here 🤣

6ft 2 dressed in blue
My town coppers we hate you
With a knick nac paddy whack
Give a dog a bone
My town coppers fuck off home

Alycidon · 03/09/2023 20:24

To the tune of the Anchor butter advert of the time

We are the men from Durex and
You'll never put a better bit of rubber on your knob
It sticks to your prick like flies to shit
And you'll never get it off in the morning

Zippy and Bungle went to the jungle trying to have some fun.
Zippy got silly and took out his Willy and put it in Bungle's bum.

London 1980s

JoanOgden · 03/09/2023 21:45

In 1964
The monkeys had a war
They lost their guns and used their bums
In 1964

Years later I was reading a novel set in the 1920s by Vera Brittain that included this rhyme too! It blew my mind that it went back so far.

JoanOgden · 03/09/2023 21:47

But I've read this entire thread and can't find the filthy clapping song we were obsessed with aged 10. Possibly a relation of Mademoiselle from Armentieres

I think I remember that one but it was '1994'.

Was the novel using 1924 or also 1964?

Ip dip, dog shit,
Fucking bastard, silly git,
You are not it

Was how we did it late 80s!

We had this too in the late 90s! Clearly one that stood the test of time.

Did any of you have "do you lick a dick a day?" The game was to say it really fast and try to persuade some poor unsuspecting child to answer "yes".

See also "do you suck a bum a day?"

I was climbing up the stairs
And it trickled down my flares
Diarrhea Diarrhea

No way! To this day I've believed one of my childhood friends came up with this!! So it was all a lie? (Or we knew the same boy??)

Did your version also have the below?

It shot out from his bum
Like a bullet from a gun
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

He put it on a plate
And he gave it to his mate
Diarrhea
Diarrhea

He ate it in a hurry
Cos he thought it was chicken curry
Diarrhea
Diarrhea
