...I remember a "nasty" chant us boys would do at about 7 or 8 years old (sung to the 7 Dwarfs' work song):
"Whistle while you work,
Hitler was a jerk.
Mussolini yanked his weenie,
Now it will not squirt."

In another post to that thread EuGene provided the following demographical information:
"I grew up for part of my early years in the remote Ozarks area of North Arkansas where there were no African Americans".
I'm not sure whether age 7 or 8 counts as being part of his "early years" or notthat time period or not. However, EuGene also noted that he remembered rhymes from "the 1950's and early 1960's".
