here's one I learned from my uncles and aunts (all around 70 now...)

I'm in love with the garbage man's daughter (slop slop)
Who lives down by the hill
Oh, she is as sweet as the garbage she eats
Her breath is sweeter still

When we go strolling together (slop slop)
Her slimy hand in mine
Her maggoty head on my shoulders
Oh, this is love divine.

Well, this one's a real treasure! I think I'll recycle it at the coffeehouse tomorrow.

Here it is in a strange kind of abc format. The note is given. If it goes up, I'll use a capital. If down, a lower case. It has a bouncy 6/8 feel: Key of C, with a D7 added:

ggCCCCDcbgg(gg)..gDDDcDE
EFeFaFFedEc...cDcbaD...
gC.CCDcbG(gg)..gDDDcDE
EFeFaFFedEc..EG.fe.dc...

Dunno how to send tunes otherwise. Sorry.

Another version from HERE:

GARBAGE MAN'S DAUGHTER

1. I'm in love with the garbage man's daughter,
Who lives down by the mill.
I love the smell of her garbage,
But her breath is sweeter still.

CH: Um slop slop. Um slop slop. Um slop slop.

2. Last night we strolled through the garbage,
Her greasy hand in mine,
Her clammy lips on the back of my neck,
Oh life is so divine.

I'm in love with the garbage man's daughter, slop slop
She lives beside the swill
Sweet as the smell of her garbage, slop slop
Her breath is sweeter still

At night as we wade through the garbage. slop slop
Her slimy hand in mine
Her greasy head on my maggoty chest
Oh. THIS IS LOVE DIVINE

I've also heard the son version
I love the garbage mans son
He lives down by the smell
Oh he is tough as the garbage he eats
His breath is sweeter still

At night we wade through the garbage
His greasy hand in mine
His clammy lips on the back of my neck
oh isn't love divine

My dad used to sing this song to us as kids! I just put the first line into search to see if I could find the rest of the lyrics and this is the only place I found it in all of cyberspace. However, his version didn't say "maggoty" head, it said "greasy head".

I'm in love with the garbage man's daughter, slop slop
She lives down by the swill
Sweet as the smell of the garbage, slop slop
Her breath is sweeter still

At night as we stroll through the garbage. slop slop
Her slimy hand in mine
Her greasy head on my "manly" chest
Oh. THIS IS LOVE DIVINE

(You see, SHE is the slimy, greasy one. Not he. LOL)

I'm in love with the Garbage Man's Daughter;
She lives down by the swill.
I love the smell of the garbage;
Her breath is sweeter still.

Each night as we stroll through the Garbage;
Her slimy hand in mine.
Her greasy head on my naked chest;
O' this is love divine.
