Here is one that is similar my Grandfather used to tell me when i was a child, and is to be said with great spead and a very loud PUFF PUFF at the end.
When I was a lad as big as me dad I came out of a peace wag
The peace wag was so full I came out of a roaring bull
The roaring bull was so fat I came out of a gentleman's hat
The gentleman's hat was so fine I came out of a bottle of wine
The bottle of wine was so thick I came out of a knob stick
Knob stick wouldn't bend So I came out of a turkey hen
Turkey Hen wouldn't lay So I came out of a lump of clay
Lump of clay was so nasty I came out of an apple pasty
The apple pasty was so rotten I came out of a bag of cotton
Bag of cotton caught on fire Blew me up to Jeremiah PUFF PUFF
