Lyr Req: weird good morning song

I have a vague memory of a very strange good morning song from summer camp (but I think *not* a scout song!), often sung before or after 'good morning to you..you look rather creepy, in fact you look sleepy'.

All I remember for sure is that the song had some verse about someone sticking their feet out the window because they were so smelly; I think that the whole song was about trying to wake someone up.--So not even a line or a phrase to retrieve it with.. Does anyone know this song please?

It's not the one about

"I went downstairs for breakfast
I ordered ham and eggs
I ate too many pickles
and the juice ran down my legs"

right?

Thanks Melissa,
I don't think that's it--but it was that sort of mood, so just maybe--are there more verses to that one?

As far as I know, there's not a verse about stinky feet..but it seemed like it could easily fit in.

the chorus part goes:
Eener Meener and a miner moe
catch that whipper whomper by the toe
and if he hollers (hollers! hollers!)
don't let him go
Eener meener and a miner moe

first verse is about skeeters and bedbugs playing a game of ball.

I'm intrigued! I don't think that is the song I'm remembering so vaguely (but I'd be curious to know the verse about the skeeters you mention)--thanks again anyway

ha..always nice to get songs in bits and patches, huh?

First verse:
I woke up Sunday morning and looked upon the wall
the skeeters and the bedbugs were having a game of ball
the score was two to nothing,
the skeeters were ahead.
The bedbugs hit a homerun
and knocked me out of bed.

ch is the Eener meener part

Second verse is the one about eating pickles.
I've always thought it seemed like there was a verse missing (but I've never heard more than the two) and sort of hoped your stinky feet were that missing verse.

Good morning to you!
Good morning to you!
You really look drowsy,
In fact you look lousy!
Is this any way
to start off the day?

to the tune of the pre-school song with the immortal line, "We're all in our places with bright shining faces"

When they stuck their feet out the window, did chickens/grasshoppers/something die from the smell?

Well, the feet reminded me of this parody of "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean:

Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
I slept with my feet out the window
In the morning the neighbors were dead

I copied this from a previous post from Blessings Barbara, but it's exactly the lyrics I knew. I was born in Detroit, and I think Barbara was, too.

Joe, I think that might be the one--thank you. I'll look for the other post via the search. Melissa--thanks for your song too, definitely one of the most whimsical.

Here's the wierdest Good Morning song I know; Good Morning by the legendary Daevid Allen

Good morning, good morning...
Hey ho the cock will crow
An opening eye, a peeping toe
All the world is waking up & coming true now...

I propose a buttered toast to marmalade
Instead of going back to bed
Until you hear the bell
You know the show must go on's what the showman said
or else the night may never come again
if the clock's on strike as well
ding dong bell
but who cares how
it's now
it's now
yesterday's tomorrow
time to follow the path
right down the straight & narrow
Ishq! Moksha!

But fears & tears
& how many years gone who knows where�

look here
look there
you're everywhere

And the poor & the war and the jaws of death!
Who asked for more?

It's you. It's me. We ask for more!

What for...?
We gonna get... it pretty soon now if we let it...
But its THEM they say
The great grey THEY!
But who are they but us & me & you too

EVERYWHERE YOU LOOK ITS YOU
ME MULTIPLIED BY YOU
ITS NOTHING NEW

So love yr lady love yr man
& asking for nothing in return...
nothing.

cuz in your face the human race
is happening in some funny place
well...no man can explain it
cuz it such a crazy old planet
maybe soon there won't be anyone left on it
Now dreamin' a dream
That everything I'm saying
Doesn't mean what it seems to mean
Doesn't seem what it seems to be
I'M GOIN CRAZY!!

Why do you burn, oh man you should know
That everything is sure to change
If you could simply smile
You'll end up laughing at yourself...

Well its only the world said the girl...

That GUEST was me by the way, en route to The Steamer in Fleetwood, where tonight I'll be singing My Blue Eyed Mountain Queen & The Rambling Comber, both (pinched) from the singing of Clive Powell

A buddy and I woke up in jail one morning, and stood at the bars and sang the following adaptation of the Kellogg's Corn Flake commercial:

Good Morning!
Good Morning!!
How'd you like to
Bite my Ass?

The trustees who were sweeping the halls were amused.

Not so the officers.

I’ve been looking for the same song. These are the verses I remember

Good morning to you
Good morning to you
You look rather sleepy
In fact you look creepy
Is that any way to start a new day

Good morning to you
Good morning to you
You look like a rabbit
Don’t make it a habit
Is that any way to start a new day

Good morning to you
Good morning to you
You rather drowsy
In fact you look lousy
Is that any way to start a new day

Good Morning
Singing in the rain

Good mornin', good mornin'
We've talked the whole night through
Good mornin', good mornin' to you
Good mornin', good mornin'
It's great to stay up late
Good mornin', good mornin' to you

When the band began to play
The stars were shining bright
Now the milkman's on his way
It's too late to say, "Good night"

So, good mornin', good mornin'
Sun beams will soon smile through
Good mornin', good mornin'
To you and you and you and you
Good mornin', good mornin'
We've gabbed the whole night through
Good mornin', good mornin' to you

Nothin' could be grander than to be in Louisiana
In the mornin', in the morning
It's great to stay up late
Good mornin', good mornin' to you
It might be just a zippy if we was in Mississippi

When we left the movie show, the future wasn't bright
But tame is gone, show goes on
And I don't wanna say good night
So say, "Good mornin'", good mornin'
Rainbow is shinin' through
Good mornin', good mornin'

Bonjour!
Monsieur!
Buenos días!
Muchas frías!
Buon giorno!


Sincerely,
Gargoyle
