It was Miss Suzy where I come from, and she also had a steamboat that had a bell. That Miss Suzy sure was a busy little thing.

Yeah, ours went something along the lines of...

Miss Suzie had a steamboat, the steamboat had a bell. Miss Suzie went to heaven the steamboat went to Hello operater, give me number 9 and if you disconnect me, I'll kick you from behind the fridgerator, there sat a piece of glass, Miss Suzie sat upon it and broke her little ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies, the boys are in the bathroom zipping down their flies are in the medows, bees are in the park, the boys and girls are at the movies kissing in the D-A-R-K, D-A-R-K-, D-A-R-K DARK DARK DARK.

Our parents didn't approve, to say the least. ^^

Wondering if this is an epidemic of some kind...my song which continues to make spontaneous appearances in my head and traces all the way back to 2nd grade is...

my hat it has three corners...three corners has my hat...if my hat didn't have three corners...it would not be my hat.

Kim - that's the version I remember!

In my world, "He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap, he tried to eat the bathtub but it wouldn't go down his throat."

I sing this to Pea when she's in the tub, sometimes.

You're a cutey, you know that?

Thanks now I'll be singing that all day!!

yeah...i just saw joel's comment, and i was thinking the same thing: are you two channeling the same grade-school song spirit? or is there just some bizarre epidemic going around that i have yet to catc...

(breaks into song...)

...christopher columbo whattya think of that? a big fat lady sat upon my hat...my hat she broke now what's the joke? my hat she broke now what's the jo-o-o-o-oke? christopher columbo....now whattya think of *that*...huh?!

.... i have to go now. (sigh)

Kim's version was popular in these parts of NJ as well.

Now I am leaving before I get this stuck in my head all day.

Mine was a little different from Kim's - except for the ending - ask me no more questions, please tell me no more lies, the cows are in the pasture, making chocolate pies.

My kids sing this song, but it's about a turtle ("I had a little turtle/his name was Tiny Tim/ I put him in the bathtub. . . " and so on).

Their favorite part is the end: "Now he's sick in bed with a bubble in his throat." Follow with LOUD clapping / popping / burping noise.

My sons go for the burping every time.

Mines the same as Kim's and now I'll be singing it all night :) LOL

It sounds like it is along the same lines of its mind-numbing ditty cousin:

Alice, where are you going?
Upstairs to take a bath.
Alice with legs like toothpicks
And a neck like a giraffe,-affe,-affe, -affe, -affe.

Alice in the bathtub.
Alice pulled out the plug.
Oh my goodness! Oh my soul!
There goes Alice down the hole!

Rotorooter, that's the name
To get scrawny Alice out of the drain
Roto-roooooter!

Same first verse as another poster trying to eat the water, soap, bath tub, etc. THEN...Miss Suzie called the doctor, the doctor called the nurse, the nurse called the lady with the alligator purse (who was attacked by PETA), out came the water, out came the soap, out came the bath tub that wouldn't fit down his throat (if it didn't fit how did it come out?!), Miss Suzie paid the doctor, who paid the nurse and that lady with the irresponsible handbag.

Alexa learned the tiny turtle version that Susan mentioned.

I remember Miss Suzie had a steamboat!

I know the same one as Susan. Also the Miss Suzy had a steamboat.
And now I'll be singing the darn things ALL. DAY. LONG. But I guess that's what it's all about!

And let's not forget the classic Lamb Chop ditty:

"This is the song that never ends
And it goes on and on my friends
Some people started singin' it not knowin' what it was,
And they'll continue singin' it forever just because

"This is the song that never ends
And it goes on and on my friends
Some people started singin' it not knowin' what it was,
And they'll continue singin' it forever just because

(Cue to insane giggling in background in a straitjacket)

I grew up with the turtle also, but I don't remember the burping!
