weyes Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 ah, those days in the playground. shit; they really were quite wild. there was a lot of yelling and fighting when we kids weren't kept busy with games and nonsensical songs that, at the time, we didn't even think were odd. but i was thinking back on some of those clap games and songs, and wanted to start a little sing-along, to reminisce and see if y'all knew any others . here's the song that got the most airplay in my circles:miss lucy had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell (ding ding)miss lucy went to heaven and the steamboat went to hel-lo operator, please give me number nineand if you disconnect me, i will chop off your be-hind the 'fridgerator, there was a piece of glassmiss lucy sat upon it and it went right up her as-k me no more questions, i'll tell you no more liesthe boys are in the bathroom. pulling down their fl-ies are in the garden, the bees are in the parkthe boys and girls are kissing in the d-a-r-k, d-a-r-k, d-a-r-kdark, dark, darkthe dark is like a movie, the movie's like a showa show is like a tv set and that is all i kn-ow, i know my mother, i know, i know my pai know, i know my sister with the 18-hour, 18-hour, 18-hourbra, bra, bra!
