What do you do?

What do you do if you need to do a poo in an English country garden?

This song is doing the rounds at my nephew’s school and there is a much longer list than I remembered when I was young. So, what do you do?

Do it on a log and blame it on a dog, in an English country garden.

Pull down your pants and do it on the ants.

Although I seem to recall our version was ".. if you need to go to loo" which now as I type it seems grammatically irritating.

@Eastendboysandwestendgirls Yes! That unlocks a memory. I have heard that too.

I've got the world's most riling earworm now! I am amending my offer to "suffocate the ants" now my brain has sung it 50 times.

Sorry @Eastendboysandwestendgirls!

Go and test your mettle, by pooing on a nettle, in an English country garden!

I have had an ear worm from this all day.

Go and find a spade, and bury what you made, in an English county garden.

Pull down your pants and fertilize the plants!

Go and find a leaf and wipe your underneath, in an English country garden.

Down among the hollyhocks, tickling on the bolly-ocks. Big creepy crawlies climbing up yer arse.

'Pull down your pants and suffocate the ants'.....

That was always first.

Nephew’s school have:
Don’t even try, unless there is WiFi, in an English Country Garden

and

If you’re touching cloth, then do it on a moth

lol. I’d forgotten all about that song. Glad to hear it’s still entertaining children 50 years later 😂
