Great Big Gobs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

So for some reason I got an old song I used to sing as a kid stuck in my head, only I could only remember the seminal first line. Well I googled it as all good kids do these days and surprisingly it helped bring back my memories. However the weird thing was that the song seems to have dozens of iterations and the one I was used to (the “wrong” versions jogged my memory) sing wasn’t listed! Here for the world is the version I am used to:

Great Big Gobs of Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts, Mutilated Monkey Meat, Chopped Up Parakeets, mix it up, it’s ready soon! Don’t you wish you had a spoon?

I am pretty sure that this little song was followed closely behind with something in the way of “On top of old smokey, all covered in blood, I lost my poor doggie on a 5 mile run…” I will have to google that one too! 

Now enjoy the weekend!
