I have a patient who knows a song about Mr. Not and Mr. Shot (one day in a quarrel got, said Mr. Not to Mr. Shot 'I'll hit you on your ... top knot.) There is supposed to be at least one other verse. Anyone know it?

When the kids were little I had this on an LP of tongue twisters. I'll have to look around to see if the record still exists.

This reminds me of a song to which I only know a few lines, about Mr. Snoop & Mr. Peep:

If you wake up to discover you've been murdered in you sleep

Send for Mr. Snoop and Mr. Peep.

I always though this was the theme song from an old radio show, but maybe it is actually part of the same song as Mr. Not and Mr. Shot???

(Does anybody know anything more about Mr. Snoop & Mr. Peep?)

The lyrics I know to "Mr. Snoop and Mr. Peep" are as follows (and if anyone knows where it's from, please let me know!):

When series of killings by murderous villains
Have all the cops perplexed
With relative shrieking and moaning and groaning
And wond'ring who'll be next
When Sherlock Holmes and Philo Vantz (sp?)
Admit they're up a tree
Then Mr. Snoop and Mr. Peep
Will solve the mystery.

While others are sleeping they're snooping and peeping
In stairways and on shelves
With tricky disguises and sneaky surprises
They often fool themselves
So if you wake to find that you've been murdered in your sleep
Send for Mr. Snoop and Mr. Peep!

That's a riot! Where do these sorts of songs come from? Nursery rhymes? Old wives tales? Music hall tradition?

Philo VANCE, I believe, is a detective in novels. Can't recall the rest of the skinny on him....
