As told to me by my Grandpa circa 1950 in Preston Lancs with broad Lancs accent: When I were a lad as big as me Dad I came out a pea pod Pea pod was so full I came out a roarin' bull Roarin' bull was so fat I came out a gentleman's 'at Gentleman's 'at it was so fine I came out a bottle o' wine Bottle o' wine it was so clear I came out a bottle o' beer Bottle o' beer was so thick I came out a knob stick Knob stick wouldn't bend I came out a turkey 'en Turkey 'en it wouldn't lay I came out a lump o' clay Lump o' clay it was so nasty I came out an apple pasty Apple pasty was so good I came out a lump o' wood Lump o' wood it was so rotten I came out a bag o' cotton Bag o' cotton set on fire And blew me up to Jeremiah.... Puff, Puff, Puff. I have just started teaching it to my Grand daughter (age 1)
