He jumped without a parachute from twenty thousand feet
He jumped without a parachute from twenty thousand feet
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain’t gonna hump no more
He landed on the pavement like a lump of strawberry jam

And he ain’t gonna jump no more
They put him in a match box and they sent him home to mum
They put him in a match box and they sent him home to mum
They put him in a match box and they sent him home to mum
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
She put him on the mantel piece for everyone to see

And he ain’t gonna jump no more
She put him on the table when the Vicar came to tea
She put him on the table when the Vicar came to tea
She put him on the table when the Vicar came to tea
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
The Vicar spread him on some toast and said what lovely jam
The Vicar spread him on some toast and said what lovely jam
The Vicar spread him on some toast and said what lovely jam
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die
Suspended by your braces when you don’t know how to fly
Glory glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain’t gonna jump no more
I mean, I think I must have been ten at the most 😳
It’s opened a can of worms in my head as loads are flooding back to me.
Anyone else remember any?

My father’s a lavatory cleaner
He works very hard for his bit
And when he comes home in the evening
He’s covered all over in…….

My old man's a dustman,
A dustman my old man,
He took us to a football match, Tottenham v West Ham.
Fatty passed to skinny,
Skinny passed it back,
Fatty took a hell of a shot that knocked the keeper flat.
Where was the keeper, when the ball was in the net?
Halfway up a goalpost with his knickers round his neck.
And the "On top of spaghetti..." one about losing your meatball when somebody sneezed.
Do ya balls hang low
Can ya swing 'em to and fro
Can ya tie 'em in a knot
Can ya tie 'em in a bow
Do ya get a funny feelin'
When they're hangin' from the ceiling
Oh ya never be a sailor if ya balls hang low...
I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.
And early next summer it grew to a tree.
It grew great big meatballs and tomato sauce.
Hold on to your meatball and don't ever sneeze.
Love it!

My equivalent was a book of rugby songs, including The Good Ship Venus and I Don't Want to Join the Army.
But it was near a church cos we had a midnight walk through the graveyard lol
And one morning we woke up & our leaders bloomers were on the top of the flagpole.
Obviously all a total set up but we found it hilarious.
Brilliant time 🤣🤣

I remember most of the other songs mentioned. I was a brownie, guide and then a young leader. Not sure I was a good influence on impressionable young girls!
