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.

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.
