My mother sang this to me in the early 70's. That's the only place I had ever heard it before, I thought she had made it up!


LUNATIC'S LULLABY

Oh, I was born one night one morn' When the whistle went "boom, boom."
I can bake a steak or fry a cake When the mudpies are in bloom.
When six and six makes nine And ice comes from a mine,
When ol' Black Joe's an Eskimo "In the Good Old Summer Time."

Oh, loop-the-loop In the noodley soup Just to give my self a shine
I'm a guilty judge, I stole the fudge Three cheers for Auld Lang Sine
I cannot tell a lie. I hocked a case of rye
Beneath the sea Beneath a tree Above the clear green sky

Oh, if Easter eggs don't wash their legs Their children will be ducks
I'd rather have a lemon pie Than forty-seven bucks
Away a-down Solona Away across the sea
Oh, I was born one night one morn, Paderewski, blow your horn "Toot, toot!"
