Here's a few more verses I can remember from my uncle and my parents singing it to me... and I'm 60
It was just cool to see other people remember it...

I also remember it starting with the "whistles rang boom boom"


I won't shoot pool with Kelley's mule if his foot is on the spot.
and a flapper's knees are bound to freeze if her fur coat isn't hot.
Oh how the spongecake grows beneath the summer snows.
Don't wipe your feet on shredded wheat; inhale it through your nose.

An airplane (air-o-plane) would be a train if its mother was a ship.
Since Jack and Jill went up the hill, they got theirs on the hip.
Oh Rich man poor man injun chief; My powder puff is filled with grief.
Did Eve flush when she dropped that leaf in the valley by request.

Oh alcohol you made me fall; my vetraball is lame
My bulldog grins she just had twins, but I am not to blame.
I lost a lotta time today; My Ingersol was pitching hay (*Ingersol= Old brand name pocketwatch)
it broke it's glass and passed away; Oh Bermuda save your breath.

I greased my watch with butterscotch; oh plumber spare that tree.
Though Mike and Ike both look alike, their child resembles me.
If France is in Japan, does milk come from a fan.
Yes Paul Revere was fond of beer and so is my old man.


An so on and so on....
