Ring-a-ling

Chorus
Ring-aling-a-ling-a-ling
Was so fond of me,
Sweet was the bull shit
She handed to me.
Ring-a-ling-aling-a-ling
Was so fond of me,
That she played on my Spanish guitar.

Her father was known as a murderer,
Her mother was known as a witch.
But Ring-a-ling as knon
'Round the whorehouse,
As a red-headed sonofabitch.

Chorus

She took me into her burdoirio
And laid me upon her so fairio,
She took out my cock-a-doodle-dorio,
And stuck it into her cunterio.

Chorus.

Chorus perhaps derived from "Spanish Guitar" verses partially
derived from the Gay Caballero.
