I wounder if kids still sing this in grade school?

[cyclonescott]

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school
We have tortured ev'ry teacher; we have broken ev'ry rule
We have bound and gagged the principal and tossed him in the pool
Our gang is marching on!

CHORUS:
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Teacher hit me with a ruler
I met her at the door with a loaded .44
And the teacher don't teach no more!



In the third grade our teacher would play the piano and let us sing this for fun.

Awkward.

[Trip McNeely]

I wounder up!!

[Ruffdaddy]

Never heard that stupid song

[Brandon-k]

Are you 85+? Never heard that weird ass song and I made a point to learn every depraved school yard rhyme there was.

The melody goes like this:

I'm 40. My 3rd grade teacher was kind of strange, but we did learn lots of early American folk songs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bat...f_the_Republic

[Mike]

Fucking weird.

[stephen4785]

On top of old smokey
all covered with blood
I shot my poor teacher
with a 44 slug
I went to her funeral
I went to her grave
everybody threw flowers
I threw a grenade

I wonder how much grade school your simple ass missed, OP.

Both songs are legit elementary songs at least from early 80's.

Both songs are legit elementary songs at least from early 80's.

Never heard the first one, but have heard the second one before the 80's.

I was pulled aside back in 2nd grade in the 70's for:

This land is my land, it isn't your land
I got a shotgun, and you don't got none
If you don't get off, I'll blow your head off
This land was made just for me

[Tyrone Biggums]

You ain't got no alibi.
You ugly.
Uh-huh.
You ugly.

These days, the gun references will have your kid arrested for threatening gun violence.
