Popular campfire song which provides its singers with the opportunity of mocking their comrades with an amusing rhyme. It goes a little something like this:

Chorus:
My eyes are dim, I cannot see,
I have not got my specs with me.
I HAVE NOT GOT MY SPECS WITH ME.

There was Name. Name. Doing something that rhymes with Name
In the stores.
In the stores.

There was Name. Name. Doing something that rhymes with Name
In the quartermaster's stores.

Chorus

Repeat until every member of the group has been namechecked.

Everybody sings the chorus, and then somebody has to come up with a rhyme to complete the verse. For example, after the chorus has been sung, somebody might pipe up with the following:

There was Ryano. Ryano.
Acting like a wino In the stores. In the stores.

There was Ryano. Ryano.
Acting like a wino In the quartermaster's stores.

The rest of the group would then join in for a rousing rendition of the nonsensical chorus.
