GUEST,mg -I think every child thinks her {or his} version of a rhyme is either the ONLY words to that rhyme or the OFFICIAL version of that rhyme.

Here's another version that I collected from a great thread on schoolyard rhymes. See the source below.

"I Made Up one with my cousin when i was in the fourth grade it goes a little like this...

MY boyfriends name is tony
he came from the land of balogna
with a pickle for a nose
and 3 flat toes
thats my boyfriend TONY!!

One day he gave me peaches
One day he gave me pears
One day he gave me fifty cents and
took me to the fair

and when the fair was over
i asked him to take me home
he said he had another date
so he better go alone

I gave him back his peaches
i gave him back his pears
i gave him back his fifty cents
and kicked him down the STAIRS! "
