And simply for the sake of completeness here's a playground teaser based on it. My old man's a dustman, he wears a dustman's hat, He took me round the corner to watch a football match, Fatty passed to Skinny, Skinny passed it back, Fatty took a rotten shot and knocked the goaly flat, Singing where was the goaly when the ball was in the net? Half way round the goalpost with his trousers round his neck. They laid him on a stretcher, they laid him on a bed, They rubbed his belly with a lump of jelly and this is what he said, (tune Rule Britannia) Singing ..Rule Britannia, six monkeys up a tree, One fell down and paralysed his.... (back to MOMAD tune) Willie was a bulldog sitting in the grass, Up came a bumblebee and stung him on his.... Ask no questions, tell no lies, I saw a copper, buttoning up his.... Flies are a nuissance, fleas are worse, That is the end of my silly little verse.
