THIS IS THE VERSION I REMEMBER! I couldn't remember the part after "lies" and it was going to bother me all night but you rescued me, thank you!

Miss Susie told me all of this the day before She dyed her hair of purple She dyed her hair of pink She dyed her hair of polka dot and washed it down the sink sink sink

It was Miss Lucy for us, the boys were in the boys' room pulling down their flies were in the country, bees were in the park, boys and girls were kissing in the D A R K etc.

Huh. For me it was: Miss Susie had a baby, she named him Tiny Tim. She put him in the bathtub to see if he could swim. He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap. He tried to eat the bathtub but it wouldn’t go down his throat.
But I’ve heard the “hello operator” through “tell me no more lies” from the other poster. I don’t remember if that fit in to the piece I’m remembering or was a part of something else.

I remember both of these versions.
ser521@reddit
Ooh, I remember more. My version continued: Miss Susie called the doctor, the doctor called the nurse, the nurse called the lady with the alligator purse.

Oh my gosh, thank you! I’ve been trying to remember this for decades! (All I could recall was, “something about a refrigerator”)

It's funny reading the different threads and seeing people branch off into their local variation of the rhyme.
