Down by the banks of the hanky panky
Where the bullfrogs leap from bank to banky
With a fee fi fo fum
Who’s got the little one

Down down baby
Down the roller coaster
Sweet sweet baby
Wouldn’t want to lose you know
Shimmy shimmy coco pops
Shimmy shimmy pow
Shimmy shimmy coco pops

Poor old grandma
Sick in bed
Called the doctor
And the Doctor said
Let’s get the rhythm in the head
Ding dong (wag head)
Let’s get the rhythm in the hands
(clap clap)
Let’s get the rhythm in the feet
(stamp stamp)
Let’s get the rhythm in the hooooot dog (rotate
pelvis suggestively)
Put them altogether and what do you get?
ding dong, clap clap, stamp stamp, hot dog
Put them all backwards and what do you get?
Hot dog, stamp stamp, clap clap, dong ding.

(Once you get good at it you can do it faster and
faster.)

See see my baby
I cannot play with you
For I have got the flu
Chicken pox and measles too
We slid down drainpipes
In 1952
And we’ll be best of friends
For ever more, more, shut that door, eat that rat
that’s on that floor!

Eeeny meeny dessameeny
You are the one ameeny
Educated, liberated (slap buttocks on each down
beat)
I like you
Down down baby
down down the rollercoaster
Didn’t do the dishes
lazy, lazy
?????
crazy, crazy
[more verses here then back to eeny meeny]

are not for adult consumption, being too
