Let's lighten things up with memorable silly childhood jokes, riddles, and ditties. Anyone remember any? I'll start with a few. More will probably pop into my head during the day.

Song: "Fudge, fudge tell the judge; Mama's going to have a newborn baby; It's not a boy; It's not a girl; It's just a little baby!" 

"What stays in a corner but travels around the world?" (A stamp) 

"Why did the duck cross the road?" (To prove he was no chicken.)

"What did you have for lunch?" (Scab sandwiches and pus pudding.)

What did Tennesee?  The same thing Arkansas

If Mississippi wore her New Jersey, they what did Delaware?  (no answer, just fun to say)

Step on a crack and break your back.

@JeanLouiseFinch ... Cute ones. You must have been from the South. We always broke our "mother's back" when we stepped on a crack. Ouch.

@Yardlie- oops, forgot to include the word mother.  When my sister's kids asked her what was for lunch she'd say "hot snot & puke sandwiches".  Eww!

What is a buccaneer ?

 A mighty high price for corn.

One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four.
Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes, more.

Whoever was the first one to see the streetlights go on would jump up and say “first one to see the lights go on”. I have no idea why...

The itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the water spout. Down came the rain
and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and dried up all the rain. And the itsy-bitsy spider climbed up the spout again. (Sung with the corresponding hand gestures.)

I’m a little teapot short and stout. Here is my handle and here is my spout. When I get all steamed up, then I shout, tip me over and pour me out. (done with body movements).

I know you are, but what am I ?

Slug bug!

When you saw a VW Beetle on the road

@JeanLouiseFinch ...  Uh, huh ...I remember a few others like that and also some children's versions of "off color" jokes. They would be nothing compared to some I've heard children repeat today.
