Pop Goes the Weasel has to be one of the silliest songs I’ve ever heard.

Then, there’s this one:

“Knick-knack, paddy-whack, give a dog a bone,
this old man came rolling home.”

And …

“Bimbo, Bimbo, where ya gonna go? Goin’ down the road to see a little girlio…” (Actually, that one is more cute than silly.)

What are some silly lyrics you’ve heard?

The band Korn has a song called “Shoots & ladders” that is made up of mostly nursery rhymes. Then again, they’re an Alternative Metal band (starting the so called “Nu Metal” movement) with bagpipes. Allegedly, it was because of the really dark messages those nursery rhymes are about. Some of those have been debunked, but still an interesting concept for a song. And an easy way to write one, because, most of the lyrics have already been written for you!
Just about any Weird Al Yankovic song (but that’s intentional)
Come Together by the Beatles (and that isn’t even their most non-sensical song)
99% of rap music
 
Another nonsensical Beatles song is “Yellow Submarine”. Then, there’s “Eleanor Rigby”. Never could make any sense out of Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. What was that all about, anyway?
 
But the song—though Tiny Tim was a 60s and 70s phenom —goes back somewhat further. It was originally published in 1929.
 
“Three little fishies and the mama fishy, too,
Poo-poo-dida-dadum-waddum-choo
and they swam and they swam
all over the dam.”
 
“Mares eat oats and does eat oats
and little lambs eat ivy,
kids will eat ivy too, will you, will you?”
 
I always wondered what a “ marseydote” was and a “ kiddilydivey” when I was a kid😜
 
That’s always a good one.

Then there’s Burl Ives “There was a tailor had a Mouse”
“Hi diddle um come feed a” …

Many, many Wierd Al Yankovic songs.

I personally like to alter lyrics…
12 days of Christmas…
On the first day of Christmas, I couldn’t buy a tree. My credit card was hiding on me. All days had variations of cheap coins…

Ol Santa:
He’s Makin a list, checking it twice.
Gonna find out who ate the white mice.
Santa Claus is coming to town.
 
Which is more ridiculous, The Beatles’ “I am the Walrus” or its parody, “Piggy in the Middle”? 🤔

 

It was an itsy bitsy, teeny weeny, yellow polka dot bikini (so, was the bikini yellow, or the polka dots???)​

All of a sudden I began to change (quack quack, quack quack)
I was out on the dance floor, acting strange (quack quack, quack quack)
Flapping my arms, I began to cluck (quack quack, quack quack)
Look at me! I’m the disco duck!​

I saw a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic’s
His hair was perfect​

Who put the bomp in the bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp
Who put the ram in the rama lama ding dong
Who put the bop in the bop she bop she bop
Who put the dit in the dit, dit, dit, dit, dit
Who was that man? I’d like to shake his hand
He made my baby fall in love with me​

And then this…

 
I have a great Dr. Demento album with lots of ridiculous songs on it. I’d love to share some, but they might be deemed flaggable (as in not the best of taste). Those familiar with Dr. Demento may know what I mean.
 
It’s short for:

Mares eat oats
And does eat oats
And Little lambs eat ivy.

Once you see this, you won’t hear the song the same.
 
Oh. Sorry about that.

I never knew until my sister was In a school recital and had to learn that song.
