Old rhyme

Down In the Jungle
Livin' in a Tent
Better than a Pre-fab
No Rent


An old man was saying this rhyme today... I have a vague memory of it from when I was little..

Re: Old rhyme

Re: Old rhyme

We used to say:-

'Down in the jungle, living in a tent
Want to go t'toilet.
(Then you made a raspberry noise) .. too late'

How silly and childish it was ... but G-C considered quite rude then, wasn't it ? and used to make us giggle behind cupped hands..

Charlie Chester was a comedian who was very popular in the 40s and 50s. He had his own radio show for a long time.

Re: Old rhyme

This is a rhyme that my grannie used to tell us kids to make us laugh.
Not last night but the night before
Three tom cats came knocking at the door
One had a trumpet, one had a drum
and one had a pancake stuck to its bum

Re: Old rhyme

My Dad used to say one about:

One fine day in the middle of the night
Three dead men got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other
Drew their swords and shot each other.
