Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

[RacerX]

Some of you may know that word and phrase origins are a special interest of mine...I started to think about the childhood songs we used to sing in this area, and wondered how widespread certain songs are. I recall GGGG as an "anti-girl" song from about 3rd or 4th grade? This would've been in the mid 1970s, and it was sorta sung to the tune of "Old Gray Mare". These are the Bellflower, California lyrics version:

Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts
Chopped up monkey butts
Insulated toilet seats
Two fried eyeballs
Rolling down the muddy streets
That's what girls are made of!



Heh, sounds kinda like gore metal [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Here's an article with alternate versions:

Do any of you recognize the song? Was it exactly like I wrote above? What were your variants? Also list area of country this was in (if different from your profile location) and year.

Re: Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

I recall a variation of this...

Great (something) globs of greasy, grimy gopher guts
(something) monkey feet
Chopped up baby parakeet!

I seem to recall it being in "Runaway Ralph" or "The Mouse and the Motorcycle" or some such kids book.

Or an Anal Blast song.

Re: Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

My version is similar to Inazone's.

Great green globs of greasy grimy gopher guts
(???)-lated monkey feet
Chopped up baby parakeet

It may have been from one of the "Ramona the Pest" books.

As a time reference, I was born in '72, entered grade school in '78.

As a geographical reference, I grew up on Long Island, NY.

EDIT: Clicked on the link in the first post. The second line was "mutilated monkey feet".

Isn't it "Mutilated monkey feet"?

Re: Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

Here goes as far as I know:

Gobs and gobs of greasy grimy guts

Mutilated monkey meat

Concentrated birdie feet

These are things I really, really like to eat

That's why I'm a JCFer !! (made up that last line...!)

Re: Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

This isn't a song, but I sometimes say that something.....

"sucks slimy green diseased day-old donkey dicks."

...and sometimes I'll add....

"....with a side of deep-fried hairy rat asses."

Does that help?

french fried eye balls swimming in a pool of blood

Louisiana mid-70's

How about the Comet Song? (sung to the whistling tune from Bridge on the River Kwai)

Comet
It Makes Your Hair Turn Green
Comet
Just Like A Submarine
Comet
It Makes You Vomit
So Drink Some Comet
And Vomit
Todaaaaayyy

Am I the only one here on that one? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

I actually had it on a record. The record is long gone, but the memory remains:

Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
mutilated monkey meat
itty-bitty birdie feet
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts
you eat without a spoon...

Re: Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts

Great green globs of greasy grimy gohper guts
Aerilated monkey meet

I brought a straw!

I think that's where I got it as well - I seem to faintly recall hearing it sung in chorus by kids.
