Subject: Heigh Ho, Heigh Ho, I Bit the Teacher's Toe!
Thanks to everyone who replied to the thread I started about songs to sing with children. The songs my kids like best, BY FAR, are the parodies about school and teachers.

Here's a request for lyrics of those kinds of songs. There are a few we know, although we probably do not know all the words to all of the verses of the songs.

Ones like- Heigh Ho Heigh Ho, I bit the teachers toe, That dirty rat, she bit me back...

On top of old smokey all covered with sand, I shot my poor teacher with a green rubber band...

Glory, glory hallelulah Teacher hit me with a ruler...

I searched the databasse for @school @parody and got 11 hits, none were the above classics. None were very suitable for elementary schoolchildren, either.

Here's another fragment I just remembered:

Hark! The herald angels shout Three more days till we get out Three more days till we are free From the penetentiary

Thanks < Advance,
