You see?
I had to read your post several times and still took me a while to understand why your father thought that song was rude. Dirty mind, he's got.

Indeed.
The first poem he taught me, which I promptly told a teacher and got told off was

Ships on the water, smooth as glass
I saw a monkey sliding on his ask no questions
tell no lies, I saw a chinaman doing up his flies are a nusiance
bugs are worse, that is the end of my little verse.

Not dirty really, but not the best thing to teach a five year old.

Something is scaping me
Unless you think the word chinaman is racist and kids shouldn't say it.

No, it's teh implied
sliding on his arse/ask no questions

and flies being the bit that gentlemen zip up and down when they need a wee wee, which is rude when you are five...
