Three, six, nine the goose drank wine

The monkey chewed tobacco on the street car line

The line broke, the monkey got choked
And they all went to heaven in a little row boat  Clap Clap.

 My mother told me if I was goody

That she would buy me a rubber dolly

My auntie told her, I kissed a soldier
Now she wont buy me, a rubber dolly

Did you ever ever ever in your long legged life
See a long legged sailor with a long legged wife
No I never ever ever in my long legged life
Saw a long legged sailor with a long legged wife

May be going to hell in a bucket but at least I'm enjoying the ride.

The music to Greelsleaves would lighten up every kids face on the road because here comes Mr Whippy.

Dash off home to the Ma to get money for a 99.

Remember cap guns and bangers...the little rockets you threw at the ground.

Remember when your father came home from work swinging his club around the cave and it would be all-

"UGH! Get me my dinner an UGH!"-"Who does that pterodactyl think he is sitting on my rock?"

Ahhh Airfix...many a rainy day was spent assembling those things. I can still smell the glue. I think kids started sniffing it for fun back in the 70s.

The amount of times I built one of those things and then realised, after I had put the "glass" on the cockpit that I had forgotten to put the little plastic pilot inside the plane.....

I remember them well but never tried to make one. Never had the patience. My brother was great at making them.

Hey Mel, that was a real bummer.

The trick was to make them in 15 minutes before the glue hardened in the tube.Approve

We used to stick a pin in the top of the tube

to prevent the air getting at the glue and hardening it .

Joey's brother goes to the building site foreman-" This wheelbarrow keeps going Squeak!----------Squeak------------------Squeak!

The foreman says-"Get off this building site. You are fired".

Joey's brother says -"For complaining about my wheelbarrow?"

The foreman says- "It should be going Squeak!-Squeak!-Squeak!Squeak!-Squeak!-Squeak!"
