srich Lyr Req: Once upon a time, the Goose drank wine... (81* d) RE: Lyr Req: Once upon a time, the Goose drank win 29 Nov 09


Wasn't this song made popular and was called the Witch Doctor song?

I remembered it as:

spoken plainly with a strict meter, marching time

2,4,6,9 the goose drank the wine,
the monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line
the line broke, the monkey choked
and they all went to heaven in a little rowboat
(clap, clap clap) ooh, eee, ooh aah, aah
ting tang wally wally bing bang,
Ooo eee, ooo ahh, ahh, ting tang
wally wally bing bang.

My mama told me, if I was goody,
that she would buy me a rubber dolly,
My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier
So she could buy me a rubber dolly.

in double time(clap clap clap)
Ooo eee ooo ahh ahh
ting tang wally wally bing bang
Ooo eee ooo ahh ahh
ting tang wally bing bang.

At least this was how I taught it to about 300 5th and 6 th graders one year.
