    A Great big gob of mutilated monkey meat, little birdie's dirty feet, french fried eye-balls sitting in a pool of blood and I forgot my spoon. I learned it in Michigan.

    Great green gobs of gooey grimy gopher guts
    Munched up monkey meat
    Little birdies dirty feet
    French fried eyeballs floating in a bowl of stew
    Oops I forgot my straw, but I got ma SPOON!

    The way we sung it as best I remember was:

    Great big globs of greasy grimy gopher guts,
    Mutilated monkey meat,
    Half eaten hippo hearts,
    French fried eyeballs soaking in a pool of blood,
    And I forgot my spoon.

    circa 1958, I remember kindergarten kids reciting on the bus when I was in 3rd grade... they must have repeated it a lot that I still remember it. Too bad I don't remember as much the important stuff.
