[This song is one a boy scouts troop from Texas taught me, and from the looks on their faces when I told them I'd never heard it, I guess it was pretty well known in their part of Texas at least.]
Alice, where are you going?
Upstairs to take a bath (dirt, dirt, dirt)
Alice with legs like toothpicks (snap!)
And a neck like a giraffe(affe,affe, affe)
Alice jumped in the water (splash!)
Alice pulled out the plug (oh no!)
(spoken in rhythm)Oh my goodness, oh my soul!
There goes Alice down the hole
Into the sewer, sewer, sewer, sewer
Which is just 3 (2, 1, right next door to) short blocks from
Joe's Junior High.
Let's hear it for Joe's Junior High
It's the best junior high in Toledo
The colors are purple and white
The purple stands for freedom
And the white stands for fight, fight, fight!
(The song repeats, decreasing the number of blocks each time. The last section is to a different tune, that of a school fight song. The triplet echoes, etc. are either sung or spoken, and are easily accompanied by actions. Some patrols I spoke to like to speed up the song with each verse.)
