Favorite non-traditional childrens song?

I like "Vitamins are Good" by Kompressor ( www.kompressormusic.com )

we really liked "99 Bottles Of Beer On The Wall".

You've got to be taught to hate and fear,
you've got to be taught from year to year,
it's got to be drummed in your dear little ear...
you've got to be carefully taught!

You've got to be taught to be afraid
of people whose eyes are oddly made,
and people whose skin is a different shade...
you've got to be carefully taught.

You've got to be taught before it's too late,
before you are six or seven or eight,
to hate all the people you relatives hate...
you've got be carefully taught!

It's been a while since I've watched South Pacific... I'll set aside the DVD so that I'll remember to watch it the next time that there's "nothing" on all 250+ channels.

Big kids scare the heck out of me
Big kids scare the heck out of me
Whenever I see them, gosh, oh gee
Big kids scare the heck out of me.

Glory Glory Hallelujah,
Teacher hit me with a ruler,
Met her at the door with a loaded forty-four
And she ain't my teacher no more

Glory Glory Hallelujah,
Teacher hit me with a ruler,
Met her at the bank with a loaded army tank
And she ain't my teacher no more

(wow, that's way more offensive than it was 20 years ago.)

Sung to the tune of "Frere Jacques"

Mrs. Thompson makes it, (apparently our principal at the time)
All the teachers take it,
Why can't we?
Why can't we?

Those were some playground favorites from my school circa 1983.

Playground In My Mind

Sung by: Clint Holmes
Written by: Paul Vance and Lee Pockriss

When this old world gets me down and there's no love to be found
I close my eyes and soon I find I'm in a playground in my mind
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we sing a song all day

My name is Michael, I've got a nickel, I've got a nickel shiny and new
I'm gonna buy me all kinds of candy, that's what I'm gonna do

In the wonders that I find in the playground in my mind
In a world that used to be, close your eyes and follow me
Where the children laugh and the children play
And we'll sing a song all day

My girl is Cindy, when we get married we're gonna have a baby or two
We're gonna let them visit their grandma, that's what we're gonna do

Living in a world that I left behind
Happy little children
In the playground in my mind
See the little children
See how they play in the playground in my mind
La la la...

Your nose knows it's not the place it goes.
You can sniffle, you can sneeze,
You can swallow if you please
but don't put your finger in your nose!

(Sung to "If You're Happy and You Know It")

except for the religious connotations, it's pretty catchy.

Two Tablespoons of cinnamon, and 2 or 3 eggwhites
Half a stick of butter, meeeelted..
Stick it all in a bowl baby, Stir it with a wooden spoon
Mix in a Cup of Flour, you'll be in heaven soon

Quarter cup of unsweeted chocolate, and half cup of brandy
Then throw in a bag or two of sugar, and just a pinch of vanilla
Grease up the cookiesheet, cos i hate when my balls stick
Then Preheat the oven to 350°, and give that spoon a lick

Cos i've gotta Sneaking Suspicion..
Oh man baby, baby! You just burnt my balls!

Someone help me, my balls are on fire!
Get some ice baby! My balls are Burning!
Get some water, pour some water on me!
My Balls are burning!
