My Momma Don't Wear No Socks

| Notes: | A cumulative, call-and-response chant filled with wild and wacky verses about the unfortunate effects of momma's missing socks. Great for improvising new verses on the fly. Works best with group energy, rhythmic clapping, and dramatic delivery. Often ends with a loud "THIS IS THE END!" |
Leader: My momma don't wear no socks!
Everyone: A ding-dong!
Leader: I saw her take 'em off
Everyone: A ding-dong!
Leader: She threw them on the bed
Everyone: A ding-dong!
Leader: Next morning my Dad was dead!
Chorus (Everyone):
A ding dong, dong, dong,
Dong-a-ding dong, dong, dong,
Dong-a-ding dong!
Other verses have the same start and only change the last two lines:
She threw them over the fence... haven't seen our neighbours since
She threw them in the tree... the dog refused to pee
She threw them up towards heaven... brought down a 7-4-7
She threw them on the wall... Spiderman refused to crawl
She threw them on a plate... guess what my brother (or sister) ate
She threw them in our tent... Sure wish we had a vent
She threw them in the sky... Superman refused to fly
She threw them on the floor... Cockroaches moved in next door
She threw them on my coat... it all went up in smoke
She threw them in my coke... it made me gag and choke
She threw them on a ship... that ship began to tip
She threw them on a boat... that boat refused to float
She threw them on the fence... the birds haven't been there since
She threw them in the air... the birds won't fly up there
She threw them in a garbage can... killed 3 rats and the garbage man!
She threw them in a slurpee machine... now there's a new flavour called Fungi green
She threw them on a speeding train... and all the passengers went insane
She threw them up into a tree... now all the squirrels have fleas
She threw them way under the bed... now all the cockroaches are dead
She threw them into outer space... and that was the end of the whole human race
She threw them round the bend... that means THIS IS THE END!
Lots of other verses!
