Re: Glory Glory Hallelujah / Teacher hit me with a ruler

[(Anonymous)]

I shot her in the butt with a rotten coconut.

I always learned it as "I bopped her on the bean with a frozen tangerine"

Re: Glory Glory Hallelujah / Teacher hit me with a ruler

The variation I learned was:

I bopped on the bean with a rotten tangerine
and the juice came dribbling down

I learned "I hit her on the chin with a rotton mandarin/and her teeth came marching out"

Jesus, you kids must be younger than me. My childhood version was "I hid behind the door with a loaded .44/And our teacher don't teach no more."

That's better than mine, which was "met her at the door/teacher is no more," but yours makes more sense. Late 80's southern California here. Has anyone charted this out, because some sociology major somewhere must've.

YES, YES THEY HAVE AND IT'S AMAZING. Okay, it's not a proper academic study, but it is a collection of regional variants of rhymes like that. Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts, edited by Josepha Sherman and Toni Weisskopf. And it's super interesting and funny.

The authors also worked in the SF community, and were family friends. My family actually contributed some of our versions of the rhymes for a proposed second volume but it never was completed.

Early to mid 80s, Santa Monica (a suburb of Los Angeles.) I heard "I met her at the door with a loaded .44" and "I shot her from the attic with a German automatic."

I don't think that would have gone over too well in today's climate.

That reminds me of "Meatballs and Spaghetti".

Re: Glory Glory Hallelujah / Teacher hit me with a ruler

That is one tune for it, but the words I was thinking are more blood-thirsty.

"Meatballs and spaghetti, all covered in blood.
I shot my poor teacher with a three-inch slug.
I shot her in victory, I shot her with pride.
I couldn't have missed her, she was forty-foot wide.
I went to her funeral, I went to her grave.
Instead of flowers I dropped a grenade.
The coffin went up, the coffin went down.
The coffin with SPLAT, all over the ground."

(The "SPLAT" is often replaced with a raspberry sound.)

that was the one from my childhood too.

And she ain't standing there no more...
