    Great green gobs of greasy Grimy gopher guts
    mutilated monkey meat
    dirty little birdies feet
    French fried eyeball simmering in a pool of blood
    and i don't have a spoon

    Great green globs of gushy grimy gopher guts,
    Little dirty birdie's feet,
    Mutilated monkey's meat,
    Five green eyeball rolling down the muddy street
    And I forgot my spoon,
    I forgot my spoon,
    Five quart jars of prickly priceless porpoise pus,
    And I forgot my spoon.

    Great big gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
    Mutilated monkey meat
    Little Birdy dirty feet

    French fried eyeballs floating in a bowl of blood
    That's what I had for lunch

    Without a spoon

    The way we sung it as best I remember was:

    Great big globs of greasy grimy gopher guts,
    Mutilated monkey meat,
    Half eaten hippo hearts,
    French fried eyeballs soaking in a pool of blood,
    And I forgot my spoon.

    This is what we sang:

    Great big gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts,
    Itty bitty birdy feet,
    Marmalade and money meat
    All put together with all purpose porpoise puss
    That’s what were having for lunch …. And supper too..

    circa 1958, I remember kindergarten kids reciting on the bus when I was in 3rd grade... they must have repeated it a lot that I still remember it. Too bad I don't remember as much the important stuff.

    " Ham sandwich
    Pus on Top,
    Monkey Vomit
    Camel Snot,
    Alligator Eyeball rolled in glue,
    That's the sandwich just for you."
