I have a few fragments of my family's version. Looking through the keyhole At Father's wooden leg Oh, why did they put the shore so near the ocean, the ocean? Go get the flit, there's a fly in Grandpa's soup. Horses running 'round Their feet are on the ground Oh, who will wind the clock when I'm away, away? Go get the listerine, sister wants a beau. ... We feed our baby garlic so we'll find him in the dark. ... Go get the axe -- here comes the man from the income tax! [I bet dollars to doughnuts my second cousin made up that line.]
