Am I going completely nuts? Nursery rhyme question.

Makhaira · 3 Dec 2012 at 22:09

Ok, so I was talking to the missus about ****-take nursery rhymes, and now I appear to be some sort of utter lunatic (even more so than usual). I'm sure there was a version of the "3 in the bed and the little one said..." rhyme that actually went along the lines of "....and one fell out, and he bumped his head and his brain fell out...".

This is being flatly denied by herself.

Please GD, either put me out of my misery or sign my restraining order!

Thanks.

P.S. I know that since this is an evening post, it will be graced with the finest of sensible responses, thanks guys

umm i'm gonna go with the lunatic vote...

don't remember hearing that version as a kid. Sounds like something kids might make up in the playground though.

Has the ink dried, or...?

Makhaira · 3 Dec 2012 at 22:17

To be fair most people would probably go with the lunatic vote

. If a mod sees this, please could you.......actually. no. don't. please don't.

"..and one fell out, fell on the floor with his willy hanging out" was the one that went around my school.

Brilliant, I'm fairly sure the version I remember was "and one fell out, splat on the floor with his guts hanging out".

..singing "please remember to tie a knot in your suspenders, single beds are only meant for 1, 2, 3 in the bed....

I had a weird childhood!

It is "bashed his brains and his guts fell out" - " please remember, to tie a knot in your pyjamas, single beds are only made for 1..2..3..4...5 in the bed...."

and so on and so forth.

Same

Although I think the nice version is bumped his head and gave a shout.

I remember a rhyme as a child about putting Maggie Thatcher in a bin. Now that's insane.

Belmit · 4 Dec 2012 at 14:40

The version I most fondly remember goes:

...and one fell out, he bumped his head and gave a shout;
[To the tune of Rule Britannia]
"Pleeeeease remember; marmalade and jam.
Three pork sausages for my old man."

Haha! Had totally forgotten about that 'til now.

I thought it was "'......four in a bed, one fell out and she said willies".

There were three in a bed and the big one said stroke this hard and bend over.

I was abused as a child.

Daze · 4 Dec 2012 at 15:04

I can't remember anything about a brain falling out.

Cosimo · 4 Dec 2012 at 15:07

I think it’s time to put OP out of his misery.

Makhaira · 4 Dec 2012 at 23:25

I love GD

Nitefly · 4 Dec 2012 at 23:28

I woke up in the morning, scratching my belly,
Did a great fart and I blew up the telly,

Wooooooah, wooooooah! BUM DISEASE.
MMMM MMMM that's right!

I woke up in the morning with a funny feeling,
Did a great fart and I blew up the ceiling,

Wooooooooah, woooooooooah! BUM DISEASE.
Mmmm mmmmm that's nice.

My girlfriend doesn't believe in the "Please remember.." bit. She just thinks it loops after "bumped his head."

:confused:

So had I, until I read your post. I don't recall the lyrics, but I do recall the abrupt shift to the tune of Rule Brittania. My memory is very vague - I think the context is me as a small boy and my father doing the "Rule Britannia" version for a laugh. Maybe it's an older version, from his childhood.

...and one fell out, he give a little cry and gave a little shout;
[not quite the tune of Rule Britannia]
"Pleeeeease remember;to tie a knot in you pyjamas.
Single beds were only made for 1, 2, 3 in a bed....

Haha! Had totally forgotten about that 'til now.

Can't get it out of my head now.

Am I going completely nuts? Nursery rhyme question.
