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'm having a bit of a snigger at that now you've reminded me of it and I'm 55. There's something about the 5' 4" detail that tickles me.

East of Scotland 1980's. Jingle bells Batman smells robin flew away, kojak lost his lollipop and bought a Milky Way!!!!

So less rude up here lol

Up the leg of her drawers!

(If my memory of Ken Dodd’s routine serves me correctly!)

"Uncle Billy lost his willy on the motorway" - my nephew, around the age of 6, around 2012, very loudly and specifically in The Range in the general area of South Wales 😂

We said my friend Billy and his willy was still 5 ft 4 at the end! Birmingham in the 70s though have taught it to my teenagers in London 😁. He also showed it to a girl not a lady 😮

In our version it was 5’ 4.

Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert hall
His mother, the dirty bugger,
Chopped it off when Hitler was small.
She threw it into the apple tree,
the wind blew it into the deep blue sea,
Where the fishes got out their dishes,
And ate scallops and bollocks for tea.

Is this a counting rhyme, like eenie meenie mynie mo?

Ip dip sky blue
Who's it? Not you.
Not because you're dirty
Not because you're clean
Just because my mother says
You're the fairy queen
O U T spells out
So out you must go.

Me, belted out at primary school 1970's:

We three Kings of Orient are
Wearing knockers aaannnd a bra!
How fantastic, no elaasstic
Seven and six a pair!

Currency was out of date even then.

We had fun with a thread along these lines a year ago:

https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/_chat/4886445-disgusting-rhymes-you-sang-in-the-school-play-ground-or-yard-primary-or-secondary

There had three other versions I’ve never heard despite being northern myself!

Yes, I heard that one as well as Uncle Billy.

Also;

Jingle bells, Batman smells and Robin flew away.
Father Christmas lost his whiskers on the motorway.

(All London, early 1980s.)

I remember him being scraped off the tarmac like a lump of strawberry jam in one verse😯. It seems the more gory and disgusting the songs the more kids love them😂

We sang ' travelling to perry barr'

Knickers and bras though were a timeless source of playground humour 😂

Jingle bells batman smells Robin laid an egg the batmobile lost its wheel and the joker got away , 80s ireland

My Dad taught us (much to my Mum’s disgust)

We three kings of Trafalgar Square
Selling ladies’ underwear
How fantastic, no elastic
One and six a pair

It’s an old one - my Dad was a child in the 1930s, in Yorkshire

We had

Hitler has only got one ball
The other is in the Albert Hall
Himmler, is rather similar
But poor old Goebels has no balls at all!

Yes, and

They put it in an envelope and sent it home to Mum…

She put it on the mantle piece for everyone to see…

She put it on a piece of bread and ate him up for tea…

Jingle bells,
Batman smells,
Robin flew away,

Wonder Woman
lost her bosom
on the motorway, hey!

school in 70’s, New Zealand

We sung Uncle Billy lost his Willy on the motorway in the 00s and early 10s in Birmingham.

And do you have other examples of disrespectful children's rhymes

What’s disrespectful about it?? 😂😂

I first heard the “Jingle Bells, Batman smells” on The Simpson’s when I was a kid, so early 2000’s.

At primary school instead of doing ‘Eanie meanie minie mo” we did “ip dip dog shit”.

We also used to chant: “N, E, T, T, O That is where the scrubbers go!” To anyone who brought a bright yellow Netto bag to school.
