14. Minnesota version, circa 1962

Great big gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
mutilated monkey meat,
eyballs rolling down the street
Scads and scads of putrified porpoise pus
and I forgot my spoon!

[ldf]

13. great big gobs of

greasy, grimey gopher guts,
mutilated monkey meat,
crunchy wunchy parakeets,
all mixed up in
badly beaten beaver brains,
and me without a spoon,
no spoon a'tall,
but i got a straaaaawwww.

wow, that takes me WAY back.

15. This his how I heard it, 1960s in upstate New York:

Great big gobs of greasy, grimey gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Dirty little birdy feet
French fried eyeballs dipped in kerosene
And I forgot my spoon!
...but I brought a straw... Slurp! Slurp!

[yellowdogintexas]

17. that was the version I learned in Kentucky

amazing

also 1960's

OK, try this one


At the boarding house where I live,
Everything is growing old
Silver threads amongst the butter
All the bread has turned to mold

When the dog died we had sausage
When the cat died catnip tea
When the landlord died I left there
Spare ribs were too much for me

16. Now, for the complete version:

Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
Multilated Monkey Meat
Chopped up baby's feet.
One full quart of all purpose porpoise puss
floating in my lemonade.

They served us scab sandwiches with warts on top
Monkey vomit and Elephant snot
45 eyeballs, chopped up in poo
and I'm going to throw it all up on you.
