Songs you sing to your children......

[trt]

My daughter and husband visited me today with my grandson.

I was trying to sing to him an old song that my family used to sing to me.
It goes something like... Oh (name) your a funny one, you got a face like a pickled onion, your nose is like a squashed tomato your ????? are 2 ?????

Any help is appreciated!

I found these trt

My brother has a bunion,
and a face like a pickled onion,
a nose like a squashed tomato,
and eyes like green peas!

Oh Jimmy's got a bunion,
a face like a pickled onion,
a nose like a squashed tomato,
and feet like a hen.

I like: It aint gonna rain no more no more,
It aint gonna rain no more
How in the heck can I wash my neck
If it aint gonna rain no more (Chorus)

Two verses, A pig sat on the railroad track
A chicken between his legs
Along came the 6.15
Choo-choo - ham and eggs.

A peanut sat on the railroad track
Its heart was all a-flutter
Along came the 6.15
Choo-choo - peanut butter

I always sang this as (using a made up name in this instance)

Fred Bloggs is a funny 'un
He's got a face like a pickled onion
With a nose like a squashed tomato
And feet like wet fish

[Psybbo]

traumatised children?

[starone]

No - they loved it.

We used to say
Oh (name)'s got a bunion
An' a face like a pickled onion
A nose like a squashed tomato
An' drumsticks for legs.

Hi,trt,I have a super book of Scots Children's Songs and Rhymes. Title is ABC My Grannie Caught a Flea by Ewan McVicar.Brings back memories of skipping rhymes,counting games etc
Oor teacher's a smasher
A face like a tattie masher
A nose like a pickled onion
And eyes like green peas.

Lots of variations of the one you were singing
