What school chants do you remember?

[OneUmberJoker]

When we were in an activity weekend it was we're from (village name)

We sang one about Susie-
when susie was teenager a teenager Susie was and she went Oooh ah I’ve lost my bra, I left my knickers in my boyfriend car

There was verses for every era of susies life right upto being a skeleton.

Also-
Six foot two dressed in blue
my town coppers we hate you
with a nik nak paddy wak give a dog a bone
my town coppers fuck off home.

I can still sing my school song in Latin too.
I left school in the early 80s.

When Susie was a baby, a baby Susie was and she went waah, waah, waah waah waah

i can’t remember all the verses, but when Susie was a teenager she went ‘ooh, aah, I’ve lost my bra, I left it in my boyfriend’s car’ 😂

I remember a lot of these, although I had forgotten them!

Another clapping one:

I'm Popeye the sailor man
I'm Popeye the sailor man
When I go swimming
I kiss all the women
I'm Popeye the sailor man
Turn around, touch the ground, quick flash
(you had to lift your skirt up at that point 😂)

Oh my goodness, I remember this and so many other! 😂 So inappropriate!! 😂😂 So much sex and violence ….

God, this has brought back memories.
Im shocked at how bad they were, this was primary school. Early primary school!
We were also locally known our school name “prampushers”.

we are the (school name) girls
we wear our hair in curls
we wear our dungarees
to show our sexy knees
you know the boy next door
he had me on the floor
he counted 1,2,3
and stuck in into me
forgot this line
now I’m having a babyyyy! (Why did our mothers allow that as a clapping song, it was the mother of a girl named Sian who taught us that one, wtf)

54321
grandad got a gun
he shot old granny
right in the Fanny
54321 (again, parents… wth)

Also we had these rubber bracelets known as shag bands and if you snapped one with someone it was to signify you’d had sex.
My mother was delighted by the letter the school sent out which was an awkwardly worded explanation as to why these bands were banned)

Another song i can hear the tune of but can’t remember the lyrics to it, but basically at the end of the song you chose a boy/girl to go and be alone with and the plan is to kiss them. The one time I played it a boy I had loved from afar (the green table) chose me and we went into the bushes (this was the end of primary school) and I was so terrified I just told him to pretend we’d kissed and was just as nervous as I was so we lied. Im glad now he wasn’t my first kiss because he made the papers for committing hate crimes.

Oh, 90s council estates, what a dreadful time to be a child 😂

We said 'ooh ah I lost my bra, I left my knickers in my boyfriends car'
I remember saying this from about the age of 7 😳

Je'
Tu a
I'll a
Elle a
Nous Avon
Vous avei
Ill son
Elle son
Our french teacher made us recite it. I don't know what it means. I can't spell it or use it. But it is the sum total of 5 years of french lessons in a UK comp

To the tune of Adam's family:

"They're dirty and they're smelly
They come from Portobelly
They cannae afford a telly
The [insert name] family"

Edinburgh in the nineties

When you heard the siren of an Ambulance you stood on one leg & held your collar & said

Touch your collar never swallow never catch the fever
Neither you neither me neither all the family.

When the ambulance was out of sight you stood on both feet.

And an additional verse-

“God made the bees, bees make the honey
we do all the dirty work and teachers get the money”

Ours went:
Popeye the sailorman
lived in a caravan
there’s a hole in the middle
where popeye can tiddle
he’s popeye the sailor man!

England, Ireland, Scotland Wales
Inside, outside, inside on.

Also the name Joey Deacon was a horrible insult, and I am ashamed that this was a thing.

I think ours was:

Popeye the sailor man
He lived in a caravan
He turned on the gas
And blew off his ass
He's Popeye the sailorman

Ibble obble black bobble
Ibble obble out
Turn the dirty dish cloth inside out

1st the worst
2nd the best
3rd the one with a hairy chest
4th the golden eagle

YES! I was just singing that to my 24 y/o DD a couple of days ago!

I haven't heard that verse before! Thanks

Does anyone remember this scary one, it was more of a rhyme and it went "I'm on the first step" " I'm on the second step" until eventually it said "I'm in your bedroom!" We used to sing or say that to scare each other at my school.

B. A. Y.
B. A. Y

with an R O double L. E. R S
Bay city rollers are the best.
Donny Osmond cannot sing
Les Mackewon is the king
with an R. O double L E. R S
Bay city Rollers are the best.

I don’t know why but we used to hobble ourselves to each other with our tartan scarves and go round the playground singing this.

My husband called someone a Joey Decon about 20 years ago.
I had no idea at all to whom he was referring as I had never heard of him and he had to explain.
He hasn’t said it since.

Whenever we saw a British Gas van go past, you’d pinch someone and say:

Pinch I saw a gas van
Got a wish and no returns

It’s weird if it’s just us said that, but perhaps even weirder if it was more widespread!

My little pony, skinny and boney
Put it to bed and shop off its head

ip dip dog shit you are not it

Wow some of these are really tame! We had school inter-team and inter-school sports, complete with cheerleaders. Our fav was
’ugger bugger ugger bugger’
(return) ‘eei ugger bugger!’
(repeat)
’ugger bugger(name if team/school)!’
‘Bugger the rest!’

’Twas fun.

"Oh! Joy! We want the boys!"

A skipping rhyme:
Down by the river, down by the sea,
Johnny broke a bottle and blamed it on me.
I told ma, ma told pa,
Johnny got a spanking so ha ha ha.
How many spanks did Johnny get?
1,2,3 etc.

I wonder if kids still sing any of these, or anything similar?
