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....

Another from N Ireland in 1970's

Georgia Best, superstar, he loves the girls and he wears a bra,
The bra's too big, he wears a wig
That's why they call him a sexy pig.

I had no idea what 'sexy' meant!

We sang the batmobile has lost its wheels and turned into a sleigh (Norfolk, 1989s).
Fascinating to see all the variations!

"Tarzan lost his underpants on the M6 motorway".

Also -

"Georgie Best, superstar, wears frilly knickers and he wears a bra"

You may guess where I grew up 😂

Late 60s - My friend Billy has a 10 foot willy, he showed it to the girl next door, she thought it was a snake, so she hit it with a rake, and now its only 2 foot 4.

This, but after the paralyse the ants bit…

“then get a leaf and wipe underneath”

Rosie + Jim, Rosie + Jim,
getting it on in the biscuit tin,
Rosie said oooh, Jim said aaah,
and they all had a baby called Cantonaaa

Some of the clapping games I played with my sister in Norfolk...

My boyfriend gave me an apple
My boyfriend gave me a pear
My boyfriend gave me a kiss on the lips and pushed me down the stairs.
I gave him back his apple
I gave him back his pear
I gave him back his kiss on the lips and pushed him down the stairs

On the Rainbow theme: to the tune of The Lion Sleeps Tonight:
'In the jungle, George and Bungle, <something something something>, Geoffrey farted, volcano started and Zippy died of fright'

We sterilised the ants instead of paralysing them.

We had "pull down your pants and fertilise the plants
In an English county gar-arden"

I got a smacked bottom from mum for singing the following in earshot of a posh neighbour:
I'm Popeye the sailor man
I live in a jar of jam
The jam is so sticky
It sticks to my dicky
I'm Popeye the sailor man

Fertilise the plants here.

And it was Georgie Best (yes, im that old!) superstar wears frilly knickers and a platex bra.

As well as "We 3 Kings of Orient are/One in a taxi, one in a car", we sang a version of The First Noel with the chorus as follows:

No ale, no ale
No beer, no stout
Here comes our dad with his shirt hanging out

Father Christmas lost his knickers on the M1 motorway!
S.Yorks, 80s

I'm sure this one is ringing bells.

While shepherds washed their socks by night all seated round the tub, a bar of sunlight soap came down and they began to scrub

kojak lost his lollipop on the m6 motorway according to Bolton in 1970s/80s

We three Kings of Orient are, One in a taxi, one in a car, One in a pram, shouting his mam, 'Somebody's pinched me bread and jam'! - Yorkshire, 1970s

Jingle Bells, Batman smells, Robin's run away, The Batmobile has lost a wheel, Upon the motorway.

And a skipping game: Not last night but the night before, 3 little tomcats came to our door, One wi' a fiddle and one wi' a drum, And one wi' a pancake stuck to its bum.

I remember singing that, only it was Georgie Best, superstar

Same!

There was one to Row, Row, Row Your Boat but I'm struggling to remember the words.

That was "when Susie was a baby". It had many verses!

What?

Its 'Jingle bells, Batman smell, Robin laid and egg, The bat mobile lost its wheel and the joker got away'

What on earth does this other stuff have to do with batman? I would understand a Santa or Christmas reference as its a Christmas parody but most of these are just unrelated utter nonsense for no reason.

The silly songs are still rife at primary. My son has been singing to the tune of Peppa Pig

Peppa Pig
Tripped on a wire, fell into the fire
Sausages

That's just reminded me, we sang this in the playground about various boys in our class:

X, superstar
Walks like a woman and he wears a bra

I’m pretty sure that Uncle Billy showed his willy rather lost it, definitely on the M6 motorway. West Midlands early 80s.

We Three Kings of Orient Are
Selling ladies under wear

So Fantastic/no Ela-astic
why don't you buy a pair!
