My mother and your mother....

were out hanging clothes. My mother punched your mother right in the nose. What color was the blood. GREEN.

That was the opening to a great song from either 1989 or 1990 that we used to listen to all of the time. I think it was a regional type band out of New England and I know it hit the top 95 of either 1989 or 1990 on WBRU in Rhode Island... I will bow down to the supreme greatness of anyone that can remember the tune or band.

Look for .....

"Wrath of Achilles"


EDIT
Hmmmm.....Maybe not. I know that part is an old Childrens Poem.



.

Try "Who Stole My Last Piece Of Chicken?" by Organized Konfusion

god I hate this.

bumping it up for one last desperate attempt

bumping it up again for another last desperate attempt....driving me crazy

I know that 2 live crew did a song very similar to that, but I doubt that it may be what your looking for. Just so ya know it is full of cusswords.

It was just a childhood chant that I remember. I don't know if anybody recorded it or not though, although I'm sure there's a regional recording out there somewhere.

There's also a link to the lyrics here.

Here are the full lyrics.


My mother and your mother were out hanging clothes
My mother punched your mother right in the nose

My father and your father were out hunting deer
My father shot your father right in the rear

Engine, engine, number 9
Going down Chicago line
If that train should jump the track
Do you want your money back?

Not last night but the night before
24 robbers came knocking at my door
As I ran out, they ran in
And I never went back home again

Shimmy shimmy coco pop
Shimmy shimmy yea yea
Shimmy shimmy coco pop
Shimmy shimmy yeeeaah

I'm Popeye the sailor man
I live in a garbage can
I like to go swimmin'
With bare naked wimmin'
I'm Popeye the sailor man!

I'm Popeye the sailor man
I live in a frying pan
Turn up the gas
Heat up my ***
I'm Popeye the sailor man!

This is a song the Jungle Dogs play. In fact they played it last night at The Ocean Mist. They are an old band from IL and I saw them ages ago. I cannot tell you the name of the song and I couldn't get it off their website either. Good luck.
