My brother, Al, is four years older than I. When we were young we'd sing the craziest songs. I don't know where they came from because I've tried googling the lyrics and found nothing. Was he clever enough to compose them himself? I haven't a clue. Here is a song we used to sing and I'm not sure all the words are correct or in the correct order.
Have you heard this one?
Mama told me to answer the door
But I didn't wanna.
I answered the door
He fell on the floor
The crazy man from China.
Mama told me to give him a drink
But I didn't wanna.
I gave him a drink
He ate up the sink
The crazy man from China
Mama told me to put him to bed
But I didn't wanna
I put him to bed
He hung off his head
The crazy man from China.
Mama told me to turn off his light
But I didn't wanna.
I turned off his light
He kissed me goodnight.
The crazy man from China.
Mama told me to take him to school
But I didn't wanna.
I took him to school
He acted like a fool.
The Crazy man from China.
Mama told me to take him to church
But I didn't wanna.
I took him to church
He ripped off his shirt
The crazy man from China.
Mama told me to bury him deep
But I didn't wanna.
I buried him deep
He stuck out his feet.
The crazy man from China.
Mama told me to cut off his feet
But I didn't wanna.
I cut off his feet
They ran down the street.
The crazy man from China.
And when I was young and silly I made this last line up.
Mama told me to shut up my mouth
But I didn't wanna.
I shut up my mouth
My teeth ran down south
the crazy teeth from my mouth.
Has anyone else heard this? The first time I remember him singing it was probably around 1969. Were we the only strange song kids back then??? lol
