Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rubber Dolly From: Steve Gardham Date: 23 Mar 10 - 04:50 PM The 'Quack, quack' should surely be 'Clap, clap, clap, clap' clap your hands, I also think in lots of trad versions it's 'line' not 'vine' but the pop version might have been 'vine' A related version of this last verse I had from the 50s in Yorkshire. Once upon a time when dogs shit lime And monkeys chewed tobacco, The little piggy run with his finger up his bum, To see what was the matter. Have since collected lots of variants in Yorkshire as skipping and two-ball rhymes etc. In fact the 'quack, quack, bit seems to come into a much earlier version Once upon a time when pigs spoke rhyme And monkeys chewed tobacco The hens took snuff to make them tough And the ducks went quack, quack, quack-o. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rubber Dolly From: GUEST,rubber dolly Date: 22 Mar 10 - 09:23 PM There's another verse before these. Three, six, nine. The goose drank wine. The monkey chewed tobacco on the street called Vine. The Vine broke, the monkey got choked, And they all went to heaven on a little row boat. Quack, Quack. You can hear the song on Episode 10, Season 1, of the British Comedy "Skins" titled "Secret Party". But I used to sing this as a kid. I don't remember ever hearing it on the radio--only that all the kids were singing it. |

Subject: RE: RUBBER DOLLY From: Sorcha Date: 30 Oct 02 - 11:28 PM When I was a kid (many long years ago!) we did a pairs thing with our hands to this--can't remember all of it, but it was sitting across from each other, holding hands, hands up and down, slap palms, touch shoulders,etc. Wish I could remember all of it. At that time I never knew it was a real song. I thought it was just a kids chant. |
