Dont you just hate it when you cant remember those things!??



So I have a feeling there are a lot of variations of this rhyme. I found this website which lists a bunch of different versions.

This is what came up when I searched:



"Down by the banks to the hanky panky

where the bull frogs jump from banks to banks

with the eeps ipes opes ops listen to the kerplop.

I pledge allegience to the flag

Michael Jackson sings so bad

Pepsi Cola burned his butt

Now he's drinking Seven up

7 up has no caffine

Now he's drinking gasoline

Gasoline has no good taste

Now he's drinking toxic waste."



I think these kind of things are different everywhere. People change them and sing them differently.

We used to sing it as...



Down by the river with a hanky panky

When a bullfrong jumped from bank to bank

Saying epp opp suck my cock

Skittle dittle kernel pop.



Dead ***, like 12 years old with NO CLUE what that actually meant haha. I remember the teachers constantly telling us to stop playing it but never gave us a good reason why. I guess they didnt want us to know what we were actually singing about.
