I was born in Florida, so I think this must be the Florida version
There's a place in France Where the alligators dance One didn't dance, so they shot him in the pants The pants that he wore cost a dollar ninety-four So the alligator couldn't wear pants anymore -Neilman ; May 27, 2005

I must have grown up with the cleanest version possible...very similar to the version from Florida:
There's a place in France where the alligators dance But the dance they do was invented by Magoo and Magoo couldn't dance so they shot him in the pants and the pants he wore cost a dollar ninety four, plus tax, cha cha cha.
Of course, I grew up thinking the "Pina Colada song" was the "green enchilada song" LOL -BelovedLamb; May 27, 2005
** There's a place in France Where the naked ladies dance There's a hole in the wall Where the boys can see it all. -Sherrie Holcomb; May 27, 2005

There's a place in France Where the ladies wear no pants But the boys don't care 'Cause they like to see them bare. -Sherrie Holcomb; May 27, 2005

There's a place in France where the naked ladies dance There's a whole in the wall so the men can see it all But the men don't care 'cause they wear no underwear -Ryan ; May 27, 2005

All the girls in France Do the hootchie-cootchie dance. There's a hole in the wall Where the men can see it all.
We also sang (same tune)
All the girls in Spain Dance nekkid in the rain. There's a hole in the wall Where the men can see it all.
Note, in the above verse, naked must be pronounced NEKKID, or it simply does not work. Not here in Texas, anyway. -LadyBug ; May 27, 2005

this must be the absolute cleanest possible version. i grew up in a part of LA that makes me a "valley girl," always a source of amusement. -kathy ; May 27, 2005
And there are many more including the "In The Land Of Mars" and "In The Land Of Oz" rhymes such as
What about this song that is burned in to my memory:
In the land of mars where the women smoke cigars every breath they take is enough to kill a snake
When the snake is dead the put diamonds in his head when the diamonds break it's in 1968. -Joe E O ; May 27, 2005

I think you are all wrong (well, I only read half of them) but it goes:
In the land of Oz Where the ladies smoke cigars Every breath they take is enough to kill a snake When the snakes are dead They put roses in their head When the roses die They put diamonds in their eye when the diamonds break It is 1958 -Sarah; June 9, 2005
