Remember These Rhymes?

Miss Lucy had a steam boat
The steamboat had a bell,
Miss Lucy went to heaven and the
Steamboat went to...

Hello operator
Please give me number nine
And if you disconnect me
I will chop off your...

Behind the 'fridgerator
There was a piece of glass
Miss Lucy sat upon it
And she cut her big fat...

Ask me no more questions
I'll tell you no more lies
The boys are in the bathroom
Pulling down their...

Flies are in the meadow
The bees are in the park
Miss Lucy and her boyfriend
Are kissing in the...

Dark is like a movie
A movie's like a show
A show is like a tv set
And that is all I know.

Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
all dressed in black, black, black.
Silver buttons, buttons, buttons
down her back, back, back
She asked her mother, mother, mother
for fifty cents, cents, cents
to see the elephant, elephant, elephant
jump the fence, fence, fence.
He jumped so high, high, high
he touched the sky, sky, sky.
And he never came back, back, back
till the fourth of July.

  2. Yes I do Moni and I sing them all the time just to keep remembering them. What about Ms Sue from Alabama? I was singing that to someone one day and they asked me what kind of Betty Crocker recipe was she eating. Heck I don't know probably the only thing available back then which was cake.

  4. I definitely remember these! Also did anyone of you all do those "ghetto cheers"? e.g.,

    Tell it tell it, tell it like it is. Tell it, tell it, tell it like it is.

    My name is Kelly (tell it, tell it)
    I'm on the line (tell it, tell it)
    And I can do it (tell it, tell it)
    with the Sagittarius sign (tell it, tell it)

    And you know what (what?!)
    And you know what (what?!)
    My man was on my stuff until he couldn't get enough
    He came knocking on my door asking for some more...wooo!

    (Side note: I think we were FAR too young to be singing and talking about this subject matter..what WERE we thinking....LOL)
