I learned this song back in 50s England as an army cadet and having read this most interesting thread, allow me to add the Ooslum Bird (sic):
-
The Oozlum bird?
Yes madam, the Oozlum Bird.
This bird flies round in ever decreasing circles
Eventually disappearing, in a cloud shit and feathers up it's own arsehole.
-
Then there's polar bear hunting:
-
The hunter digs a hole in the ice
Carefully places a line of dried peas around the edge of the hole
and when the polar bear comes up for a pea
He kicks him in the ice hole.
