What school chants do you remember?

[OneUmberJoker]

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

Yum yum bubble gum stick it up your mother's bum. If she spits pull her tits yum yum bubble gum.

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

We had at primary school

A pinch and a punch on the first of the month
And no returns

You had to get in first, because there was one girl who had a really vicious pinch and punch and if she got you, you really felt it.

The only thing I ever hear at the moment in DC school is SIX SEVENNN

What's the time? Five to nine. Hang your knickers on the line. When a copper comes along, hurry up and put them on.

We also said
Pinch and a punch, the 1st of the month

And you had to say this next bit to not get punched back...

No returns, white rabbit

Yum yum chewing gum
Stick it up the teacher's bum
When it's brown pull it down
Yum yum chewing gum

Georgie Best superstar
Wears frilly knickers and he wears a bra

Another Popeye one-
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

Milk, milk lemonade,
Round the corner chocolate's made.

I’m a little girl guide
Dressed in blue
These are the things that I must do
Salute to the captain,
Curtsey to the queen,
And show my knickers to the football team

We had a version of this but it went:

”Under the bramble bushes, down by the sea,
True love for you my darling, true love for me.
When we get married we’ll have a family.
A boy for you and a girl for me, how many fishes are in the sea?”

It then did an abrupt change in rhythm and became quite rude, but I can’t bloody remember that bit!

@Imbrocator i didn’t hear the rude bit of bramble bushes. However, here are two, which got banned:

In 1986,
the Queen pulled down her knicks.
She licked her bum,
and said “yum yum!”
”It tastes like Weetabix.”

This Is a nasty one which mean older girls tried to encourage younger boys to recite to teachers:
This is Helen, (thumb and finger make circle)
This is me, (holds out finger on other hand)
Together we’ll make a family (insert finger into circle).

While pointing to boobs, fanny and arse:

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

And our “all join on” was for a game of kiss, cuddle and torture.

Wtf! This thread is ace.

Happy birthday to you,
I went to the zoo.
i saw a fat monkey,
and I thought it was you!

Burn a bonfire - and put head teachers name in the middle. We actually really liked him.

We break up, we break down

Hitler has only got one ball

Popeye the sailer man politer version mentioned

My dolly got the flu since 1962

And on the school bus-
We will fuck you - to the tune of we will rock you complete with stamped feet.
There was a supermarket advert to the locamotion where every time you get one of these (set of glasses) which would be sung fuckamotion and every time you get one of these to a motion of rocking a babe in arms.

We sang this in the 60s… but with ‘lady next door’ instead of ‘girl’…and it ended up as 2’4 (the lady must have hit it much harder than the girl 😂)

His name was Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall,
His name was Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall,
His name was Nobby Hall,
And he only had one …….. finger
His name was Nobby Hall, Nobby Hall,

He went to rob a bank, rob a bank,
He went to rob a bank, rob a bank,
He went to rob a bank,
But he stopped to have a …….. sandwich
He went to rob a bank, rob a bank,

The police man caught him quick, caught him quick.
The police man caught him quick, caught him quick.
The police man caught him quick, and caught him by the …….. truncheon
The police man caught him quick, caught him quick.

The judge’s name was Hunt, name was Hunt,
The judge’s name was Hunt, name was Hunt,
The judge’s name was Hunt, and he was a right old ………… misery
The judge’s name was Hunt, name was Hunt,

And further verses I don’t recall.

I’m not sure of the exact words but something like this..
Johnny went out to cut some sticks
Taboo Taboo
Johnny went out to cut some sticks
Taboo Taboo
The wind blew, The Axe flew
Johnny came home with his balls in two
Taboo! Taboo! Taboo! Taboo!

Oh and this one from my mother’s school days in the 50’s.
Each Peach Pear plum
Stick your finger up your bum
When its brown, pull it doen
Each peach pear plum!

this was a clapping fhyme

under the bramble bushes, under the sea
Boom boom boom
True love for you my darling, true love for me
Boom boom boom

...and we will marry
Ans raise a family
With a girl for uou
And a boy for me
Oh my darling , can't you see
Etc

Ali Ali Ali Ali Ali bally be
Sitting on yer mammies knee
Can't remember the rest ,think it was sung whilst bouncing a rubber ball off the wall and catching and throwing in patterns (under leg and turning round )
70s NE Scotland

And …

when suzie was a school girl,
a school girl suzie was,
and she went ‘miss, miss, I can’t do this,
l’ve got my knickers in a terrible twist’.

and a verse about her being a mother which wasn’t so funny. Can’t remember the rest.

The cow kicked Fred in the head in the barn
The doctor said it would do no harm
So we all kicked Fred in the head in the barn

Next verse
Same as the first
But a little bit louder
And a little bit worse

This was all repeated louder and louder until we were made to stop by the arrival of an adult. It was the most hilarious thing ever and particularly popular during wet play.
Lincolnshire, 1980s.

Yes, we had the first of the month too (still do in our house actually but not violently!) but weirdly also this gas van thing :-D

My little pony, skinny and bony, having some fun, picking her bum

Hey you over there what’s it like to have no hair? Baldy!!
