Ah, the full words. Thanks, google. Chinaman had a wife, Gave him such a miserable life. Rolled him up to the top of the hill, Rolled him down like a rolling pill. Chorus: Chicka lucka chee chi cho Chicka lora, bunga lora Piggy wiggy whack whack Hoca, mocha, hit him with a poka Chitterb ug, chitterbug, chee chi cho. Chinaman had seven sons. These are the names of the youngest ones. [Chorus] Chinaman now is dead. To his coffin I was led. One thing I remember of him: Chinaman was American. |

OH, I always thought it was "Cee Cee, my playmate", as in, a playmate named Cee Cee. |

So sorry, playmate I cannot play with you My dollies have the flu The mumps and measles, too I have no rain barrel I have no cellar door But we'll be jolly friends forevermore (more, shut the door) |

OMG, I forgot about great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts! Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts, Mutilated monkey meat Chopped up baby parakeet Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts And I forgot my spoon Did anyone do: The horse and the flea and the three blind mice Were sitting on a tombstone shooting dice The horse he slipped and fell on the flea "Whoops," said the flea, "There's a horsey on me!" Boom-boom ain't it great to be crazy Boom-boom ain't it great to be crazy 1-2-3-4, come on [name] let's sing some more! Way up North where there's ice and snow There lived a penguin and his name was Joe He got so tired of black and white He wore pink slacks to the dance last night Boom-boom ain't it great to be crazy Boom-boom ain't it great to be crazy 1-2-3-4, come on [name] let's sing some more! Way down south were bananas grow The flea stepped on the elephant's toe The elephant cried with tears in his eyes Why don't you pick on someone your own size Boom-boom ain't it great to be crazy Boom-boom ain't it great to be crazy 1-2-3-4, come on [name] let's sing some more! |

I definitely remember Greasy, Grimy, Gopher Guts, which also reminds me of Worms:
Nobody likes me, Everybody hates me, I'm gonna eat some worms Fat ones, skinny ones, little itty-bitty ones I'm gonna eat some worms Bite their heads off, Suck the juices out, Throw the skins away. No one knows how I survive on 50 worms a day! |

I thought it was "See, See". Tried teaching my DD that one, which has rather complicated clapping, and she wasn't interested. Maybe she was too young. |
