My sister taught me this: Wait, come back, you need a tic-tac! Not a tic, not a tac, you need the whole pack! Red, green, yellow, white, man what did you eat last night? One version of "shame" I've heard: Shame shame shame I don't want to go to Mexico no more, more, more There's a big fat policeman at the door, door, door If he grabs you by the collar Girl, you better holler I don't want to go to Mexico no more, more, more SHAME! We sang this on the bus, as well as many more songs: Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream Throw your teacher overboard and listen to her scream Five days later, floating down the Delaware Lost a pair of underwear, couldn't find another pair Ten days later, eaten by a polar bear That's how the polar bear died Learned all these in early 90's, white and black kids both, in Virginia. My mom taught me these she used to say from when she was a kid (Colorado or California, early 70's) Left, left, left right left I left my wife and forty-nine kids on the brink of starvation With nothing but gingerbread left, left, left right left I hate you I hate you I hate you And besides, your mother dresses you funny (stick out your tongue)
