After I posted my comment, above, I got to wondering if there were any connection between the bridge of the Shirley Ellis song: 3-6-9 The goose drank wine The monkey chewed tobacco on the streetcar line The line broke. The Monkey got choked And they all went to heaven in a little rowboat And this verse from "Hop Along Peter": Old Mother Hubbard and her dog were Dutch A bow legged rooster and hobbled on a crutch Hen chawed tobacco and the duck drank wine The goose played the fiddle on the pumpkin vine. Thoughts?
