Uncle Billy lost his willy

[ThreeLocusts]

Jingle bells, Batman smells/Robin flew away/uncle Billy lost his willy/on the motorway...
(sung to the tune of the Xmas song)

it's one of a handful of rude rhymes my children learned early on in primary school. This was in the Southeast in the 2010s, but a friend who grew up in Manchester in the 1970s said he knew this rhyme too.

I'd just like to get a sense of how widespread and how old it is. Has it been around since the first Batman TV series of the late 50s (I think)? And do you have other examples of disrespectful children's rhymes featuring pop cultural references? Or rude rhymes full stop? I find this one oddly joyful....

I remember the Diana Dors one! Never heard it since and half thought I'd imagined it 😄

Ahh yes! We had this in the 90s South West too!

North East, 1980s

Skinny Malinky Long legs, Umbrella feet
Went to the pictures and couldny find a seat
When the picture started, Skinny Malinky farted
and fell through the seat.

Tarara-boomdi-ay, my knickers blew away.
I found them yesterday, on the M1 motorway.

What do you do if ye cannae find the loo in an English country garden?
Pull doon yer breeks and water all the leeks.....

Auntie Mary had a canary up the leg o' her drawers
It wouldnae come doon for half a croon and won the Victoria Cross.

Holy Moses I am dying, just one thing before I go
Lay the cat upon the table, stick the poker up its.
Holy Moses............

Daisy, daisy, give me your tits to chew
I'm half crazy, my balls are turning blue
I can't afford a durie (Durex)
A plastic bag'll do me
But you'll look sweet, under the sheet
With me on top of you.
(School trip to France circa 1984)

We sang, "Father Christmas lost his knickers in the USA" 🇺🇸

We used to sing the following very charming version of the Rainbow theme song:

Up above the streets and houses
Rainbow climbing high
Zippy stuck his cock out the window
And pissed in Bungle's eye

Kiltie Mary had a canary up the leg oh her drawers
She pulled a string tae mak it sing
an doon came Santi Clas

Sung to me in Dundee by me granny 60 years ago

Glory glory hallelujah,
Teacher hit me with a ruler.
The ruler broke in half
And the class began to laugh
And the teacher went bright red.

Our rhyme was
My uncle Billy/had a 10 foot willy/so he showed it to the girl next door/she hit it with a rake/ coz she thought it was a snake/and now its only 3ft 4

My DSs now early 20s used to sing

Watcha doing?
Eating Chocolate.
Where'd you get it?
A doggy dropped it.

@Alltheyearround you've reminded me of our own blasphemous version:

While shepherd's watched their flocks by night
All seated on the bank
An angel of the Lord came down
And taught them how to wank

He's popeye the sailor man, he lives in a caravan, when he went silly he played on his willy he's popeye the sailor man!

We also sang the OP version of the Batman tune, West of Scotland 1980s

Jingle bells, batman smells, Robin flew away.
Kojak lost his lollypop and bought a milky way.

1970's north west

Wonder Woman lost her bosom.
Antipodes, 1970s.
I really wish we’d had some of the versions here!!

North West, 1980s-

My mate Billy had a 10 foot willy
And he showed it to the girl next door
She thought it was a snake so she hit it with a rake
And now it's only 4 foot 4

Same version as you OP, midlands, 1980s

Dh knows it.
The 1970s in North Yorkshire

Auntie Mary had a canary
Down the leg of her drawers
When she farted down it darted
Down the leg of her drawers

NW, 90s

Billy had a 5foot 4 willy here, the rest of the rhyme is the same though.

1990s NE England had this version too.

Yes we sang this at junior school - mid seventies ?

On top of a mountain all covered in grass stood a bald eagle licking its arse...

Yes! And verse 2 is

In 1984
The monkeys went to war
They used their bums
To fire the guns
In 1984

NW 90s
