I can recall excerpts rom two songs which date (at least) from the early 1960's. The Davy Crockett reference was presumably from a TV series shown on TV after school in those days. Funnily enough, I don't ever remember hearing more than thatr first couplet: "Say what you will, school dinners make you ill Davy Crockett died of Shepherd's pie!" [followed by laughter f course.] The other is contemporaneous with the first (so far as I know) - although of course these things may go back generations, just as the playground games do... "Ugly, mugly custard, bogey snotty pie All mixed up in a dead dog's eye Stir it, stir it, stir it thick Was it all down with a hot cup of sick!" LOL!!
