Thread Name: Lyr Add: Oh, Jemima, Look at Your Uncle Jim...
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Oh Jemima
Hi, 2 years ago I went on a trip to a place in Dorchester for a week with friends, and they taught us a song there that none of us could ever forget. So when I was bored just then, I typed in random stuff in google and I saw oh jemima come up, and it reminded me of the song I knew straight away, so I just searched it, and saw what all of you had written, but here's the version that I've always known and so many other people.

OH JEMIMA

Oh jemima, look at your uncle jim
he's in the duckpond learning how to swim
first he does the breaststroke then he does the side
now he's at the bottom swimming against the tide, tide, tide, tide, tide tide, tide tide.

(the word 'tide' can go on for ever!)

I HOPE THIS HELPS?!
PLEASE GET BACK TO ME!

P.S I REALLY ENJOYED THE VERSION WITH THOSE 3 VERSES ( WHERE IT ENDED WITH A HEARSE!)
