GUEST,mazzamum Origins:Old Man 'Badiah Jumped in the Fire/Obadiah (41) RE: Lyr Req: Old Man 'Badiah Jumped in the Fire 07 May 12


this is the version my dad used to say to us when I was little in the early 1960's. It was spoken and the last jeremiah was loud and made us jump

When I was a lad as big as my dad
I jumped into a peapod
the peapod was so full
I jumped into a butchers bull
the butchers bull was so fat
i jumped into a gentlemans hat
the gentlemans hat was so fine
i jumped into a bottle of wine
the bottle of wine was so clear
i jumped into a bottle of beer
the bottle of beer was so nasty
i jumped into an apple pasty
the apple pasty was so good
i jumped into a lump of wood
the lump of wood was so rotten
i jumped into a bag of cotton
the bag of cotton set of fire
and blew us all to jeremiah
