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....

Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin flew away
Batmobile lost a wheel and landed in the hay

West London

We three kings of orient are
One on a bus and one in a car
One on a scooter blowing his hooter
Following yonder star

and….
We three kings of Leicester Square
Selling ladies’ underwear
Quite fantastic, no elastic
Not very safe to wear!

This is the version I knew back then.

My kids know the Uncle Billy version.

"Ooh-ah, I lost my bra, I left my knickers in my boyfriend's car."

Primary school, 1970s, no real idea of what it meant but bras and knickers were always funny!

Do you remember this: 'The Adams family started when Uncle Fester farted...'

Who knows the next line?

Early 80s, Cheshire, and we sung “The Batmobile has lost its wheel on the M6 Motorway, HEY!”

We also sung the version of Billy's misfortune in which he flashed the girl next door and, quite reasonably, she used a rake to chop his 10ft willy down to 2ft 4

My mam use to sing:

Fanny Morgan played the organ
And she played it very well
And her sister had a blister
In the middle of her...
Fanny Morgan played the organ
And she played it very well
And her sister had a blister
In the middle of her...

Which just repeats endlessly I guess, I believe she learned it off my great grandma.

Down in Fraggle Rock,
Grab a Fraggle by his cock,
Swing him round your head,
Now that Fraggles Dead.

There were further verses, but I can't remember them.

Haha these were still being sung in 80s Brum 😁👍

Am I the only one with the Tarzan's underpants version? 😂

We sung a version of this 😅but ours was “The Addams family started, when Wednesday went and farted, she did it through the keyhole, and paralysed the dog”

We dang exactly this down in Bristol 😁

My kids sang this in the 80s I think,

The Adams family started when uncle Fester farted
He farted through the key hole and paralysed the cat
the cat was so delighted he shouted man united
and Man united shouted the Adams Family (clap clap)

@MaybeItsBecauseImALodoner this is the version I know - west London, 1970s

I knew this one too 🤣

Anybody else know "great uncle Bulgaria jumped without a parachute" sang to the tune of glory, glory hallelujah

The verses go on and on but the chorus is

glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
jumping out a jet plane and forgetting how to fly
glory glory what a hell of a way to die
and he ain't going to jump no more(without his boots on)

Don't forget the classic

Milk milk lemonade, round the corner chocolate made....

My primary kids sing this too. But I started primary school in 1984 and the song was…

My friend Billy had a ten 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 five foot four.

I just remember laughing wildly at this when I was about 5.

We used to chant this about school dinners, again late 60s

Green and yellow custard
snot and bogie pie
all mixed in with a dead dogs eye
half a pound of cats guts mixed in thick
all washed down with a cold cup of sick.

We sang Uncle Billy version, South East, early 90s.
We also sang
"We 4 Beatles of Liverpool are,
John in a taxi
Paul in a car
George on his scooter bibbing his hooter
Following Ringo Starr
Oh
Star of wonder
Star of light
Santa caught his pants alight
Hit the ceiling
Started screaming
Mary's on a motorbike"
😂

Thank you!! It was bugging me that I couldn’t remember the full version of the 10ft Willy rhyme!!

'When Shepards washed their socks by night all watching ITV. The angel of the North came down and switched it to BBC'

'Good King Wensleslass looked out on the feast of Stephen. Silly bugger he fell out on snow crisp and even'

There were loads 🤣

No, but it sounds brilliant! 😄

My uncle Billy cooked his Willy in the microwave.
