Just can't remember :rolleyes:

I am being driven potty by not being able to remember a 'chant' thatwas very popular with primary school kids when I was one. The one in question was marvelously distasteful. I can supply the last line and another titbit (all help gratfully received).

It involved 'a dead dogs eye'
last line 'all washed down with a cup of cold sick'

why did these little disgraces dissapear; they were so gruesome you'd think they were treasured

[mrs fish]

Wish I hadn't looked at this now. I know the exact one you are on about but can't remember it all...

Monkeys vomit, Camel snot springs to mind

[mrsd]

Yellow matter custard, green slop pie,
All mixed together with a dead dog's eye,
Slap it on a butty, ten foot thick,
Then wash it all down with a cup of cold sick.

[dick dastardly]

Can't help sorry. My favourite was:

We have joy, we have fun,
flicking bogeys at the sun.
When the sun gets too hot,
All the bogeys turn to snot.

Funny how I can remeber that word for word, 15 years later, yet I can't remeber where my parents are currently on holiday.

Its called "Fungus the Bogeyman" by the chap who wrote the Snowman, Raymond Briggs

How's your hangover Anna ?

If you're referring to the 'dead dog's eye poem' no it's not ! It dates back to at least the early 50s (on this side of the pond) and it's in the lyrics for 'I am the Walrus'
It's worn off now thankfully incorrigable Anyhow, time for breakfast ttfn kids

er... judging by the related re-action to a small piece of irreverent humour... I'd suggest it was still a little issue...


Cheer up MrsD... life's too short.

At a guess she would be referring to the other one due to the title and the lyrics being rather similar!!
