WHY FIRE TRUCKS ARE RED

Newspapers are red, too
Two and two are four, and four times three is twelve.
There are twelve inches in a ruler.
Queen Mary was a ruler.
Queen Mary was also a boat
Boats travel on the ocean
There are fish in the ocean
Fish have fins
The Finns were fighting the Russians
The Russians are red.
Fire trucks go rushin’ around
So they’re red, too.

HOW YOU GET DOUBLE PETUNIA FROM A PETUNIA
Well, a petunia is like a begonia
A bologna is a kind of sausage
Sausage and battery is a crime
You crime trees
Trees a crowd
A crowd is the noise a rooster makes in the morning
A noise is between your eyes
Ayes are opposite of nays
A horse neighs
A little horse is a colt
If you go to bed with a cold
You could wake up with double petunia

Eleanor Merrick sang this ditty

I've got a mother-in-law,
She is dead,
She got caught in a folding bed,
Mp-daadyaada
Mp-daadyaada,
Mp-daadyaada-day.

Ever since my mother-in-law's been dead,
People come to me to borrow my folding bed,
For they all have mother-in-laws they say,
Mp-daadyaada,
Mp-daadyaada,
Mp-daadyaada-day.
