I feel the need to say that I do not like the sexual explicit versions of "We are the ___ girls/We wear our hair in curls".

I'm interested in this 'rhyme family' from a folkloric standpoint which is why I'm including those bawdy versions.

Here's a link to a sexually explicit version of this rhyme that I just found on YouTube:

Southy Girls. {posted by Jonasdork on June 30, 2009)

The video summary includes these lyrics:

we are the southy girls,
we wear our hair in curls,
we wear our dungarees to show our sexy knees,
you know the boy next door?
he got me on the floor,
he counted one - three & stuck it into me,
he counted one - ten & took it out again.

my momma cried & cried,
she saw my belly rise.
my daddy jumped for joy it was a baby boy.

you know the boy next door?
he is a whore, he got me up the duff

The three girls wearing school uniforms and singing this song were White and appeared to be pre-teens. I identified them by their accent as living in Australia, but I might be wrong about that.

The last two lines of this song were spoken amid giggles rather than sung. The tempo of this version is faster than the tempo to the "We Are The Catty Girls" version.
