Sing this to the
tune of
John Brown's Body AKA the
Battle Hymn of the Republic:
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves,
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves,
I know a song that gets on everybody's nerves,
And this is how it goes:
(repeat)
You can
increase the
annoyance factor by shouting out the number of the
verse you're on.*
*The young gentlemen who taught me this song were at summer camp, and wanted to test the boundaries set by a non-parental authority figure, specifically, me.
"Verse 7!" they cried, hoping to get a rise out of me, but I let them go on. They'll get tired of it soon, I thought.
Never underestimate the determination of a pack of nine-year-old boys at summer camp. I had to exercise my counselor priveleges and ordered them a nice, frosty glass of shut the hell up after they shouted "Verse 21!"
Trina notes that you can also sing a
variation to the tune of
Buffalo Gals (Won't You Come Out Tonight?):
I know a song that'll get on your nerves,
get get get on your nerves, get on your nerves,
I know a song that'll get on your nerves,
And this is how it goes:
(repeat)
But
don't you dare let those nine year olds know.
