- Go to Now She’s Singing About Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts?
Don't ask me why I remember that song...
It always brings back memories of a particular state championship basketball game where me and some friends were sitting WAY up in the nosebleed section singing that song. We were making paper airplanes and they had to stop the game when one of them landed smack-dab in the middle of the court... hee hee....
I also have the Little Rabbit Foo Foo book that my kids absolutely LOVE which has the entire song. It's one of my favorites too!

Spitfire,
I'll tell you what. We have a little country store here by the lake, maybe I could rush down there real quick and check to see if they have any french fried eyeballs. If they do I'll buy you a couple of dozen. Is that enough? Do tell.

Spitfire,
I use to sing the one about Greasy Grimy Gopher Guts while on the swings with my friends as a child, although we sang it different than the ones stated previously. It went like this:
Sixteen tons of greasy, grimy gopher guts,
Chopped up chicken meat,
Mutilated monkey meat,
French fried eyeballs,
Put them in your frying pan,
Buy them at your favorite store.

Hey, scroll down to koriani's comment. She's got it. (a few words are different from yours, but that's how it always goes with these old songs!)

Ah, the bunny foo foo...
Little Bunny Foo Foo

scoopin' up the field mice
and boppin' em on the head.
And down came the Blue Fairy,
and she said: Little Bunny FooFoo
I don't want to see you
scoopin' up the field mice
and boppin' em on the head.

Little Bunny Foo Foo is legit, Spitfire, but for the life of me I can't remember what he was scooping up.

Well, Spiff,
I think there's been a mistake here. My friends and I did that line many times, and it isn't
Great Big Gobs, it's
Great Green Gobs; and I think it was about sitting around and eating them. People always seem to mess up on the really important things.

Word,
I'll tell Mom you said that! (However, she knows the lyrics. She just
chooses to make up her own.)

Life must be pretty interesting
around your parents. BTW, making up lyrics to 'enhance' a song when you don't know or remember the words is cool in my book.

jojo, no, I TOTALLY see the humor in that!
(K, now I'm frightened.) hehe But, you're right. It wouldn't work for my costume. Or would it? Eeew. Now I'm just getting gross.

My friend at work told me the most hilarious costume for a guy. It won't help you much but I have to tell it. It's as a premature ejaculation. The guy wear's his jeans, just his jeans. then he goes to a party and says that he just came in his jeans. I thought that was so great!
