Yeah. If you’ll read through the comments you’ll see about 4 times where I say that I was singing the song in my head while typing it and must have gotten to the second line in the song while finishing typing the first. Obviously I didn’t proofread. My bad.
Also, if you’ll read through read through the comments you’ll see where there are many different versions of this song depending on where you are from. So ….maybe chill about.

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts Mutilated monkey meat Stinky little birdie feet French fried eyeballs floating in some kerosene And me without a spoon. Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts Scab sandwich, puss on top Vulture vomit, camel snot Deep dish boogers soaking in a bowl of fat And me without a spoon. Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts Parrot eyeballs dipped in glue Petrified porpoise puss Flaming ear wax bobbing in a bowl of barf And me without a spoon.

FAx32@reddit
Which was the standard version I heard in the 70s too, but we liked to make up new lyrics.
Simulated monkey meat.
Chopped up baby parakeet.
HarryHaywire@reddit
Standard fare for playground songs. Everyone had their own local variation, but somehow we ALL had one. It was a tiktok meme decades before memes existed.

We sang it “Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts Mutilated monkey butts Teeny weeny birdy nuts”
I can’t remember the rest. It was something like “All rolled up in (something) pounds of (something)” and the last line might be “And that’s how the polar bear died” unless I’m mixing that last line up with a different song.

I only know that quote from caddyshack.
"...how about a nice cool drink? Varmints. Scum. Slime. Menace to the golfing industry. You are a disgrace and varmints. You are one of the lowest members of the food chain and you will probably be replaced by the rat."
