To the tune of Totally Addicted to Bass:

Goin' ninety miles on his Yamaha.
Did a skid, killed a flid
Fractured his balls on a dustbin lid.
If you shoot me, I don't care
I've got bulletproof underwear.
When I die, bury me
Hang my balls from a cherry tree.

(Sorry to jump in three years later, but this reply has been more than 30 years in the making.)
 Every decade or so, since The Net began, I've punched in lines from a ditty I'd first heard at the age of five (circa 1979), from a slightly-older kid in day care, downtown Brooklyn, NYC.

This is the first hit I've gotten from it, ever.

"Cops chase me, I don't care. I got bulletproof underwear.
When I die, bury me. Hang my balls from a cherry tree.
When I go, I'll be listenin' to the radioooo..."

 The words had stopped me dead in my tracks, head whipping around, with a look of surprised smiling wonder on my face. The older kid saw my reaction, and before I could speak, had coolly mushed me upside my head, saying, "Git outta here."

 Just a random ten seconds of my little existence, yet it stayed with me until this day, and, being far too well developed for some mean nine-year-old to have come up with, it was always worth a search. It HAD to be from somewhere.

 The fact that the internet had failed countless times to respond to this quiz had not diminished my need to know. It was, simply, still in it's infancy. Until November 2019, apparently, as I've discovered today.

All this time, the answer was... Folks from the UK, having fun with lyrics to beloved songs. Playgrounds. Of course. That's brilliant.

Thank you for this.

The best I can do. Sorry.

To the tune of The Sign by Ace of Base:
I saw my mum, I opened up my legs and gave her one
It was fantastic, the baby was a s******
I saw my dad, I opened up my legs and gave him one
It was fantastic, the johnny was elastic

I live in a caravan
There's a hole in the middle
Where I take a piddle
I'm Popeye the sailor man
The one we sang had 'when I went swimming, I kissed all the women'.

In my primary school we had a family of four American kids whose dad was working in the UK on a long-term contract. I wonder if the 'cherry tree' bit came from them as it didn't seem to be part of other people's memory of the lyrics?

My dad once told me that before QEII was queen kids used to sing:

God save our gracious king,
chuck him down the lavatory and pull the string,
God save the king.

Can we bring that one back please!
