Hid behind the door, with a loaded .44, and the teacher don't teach no more!
On top of old smokey, all covered with blood, I shot my poor teacher, with a .44 slug. I shot her with pleasure, I shot her with pride, I couldn't have missed her, she's 40 feet wide. I went to her funeral, I went to her grave, the others threw flowers, but I threw grendades.
~~~~~
From the halls of (insert your school here), To the shores of Bubble Gum Bay, We will fight our classroom battles
With spitwads made of clay. first to fight for lunch and recess, And to keep our desk a mess, We are proud to claim the title, of our Teachers' Number 1 Pest!
~~~~~
Tra la la boom-dee-ay, my teacher passed away, we through her in the bay, we watched her float away. Tra la la boom-dee-ay, she came back yesterday, tra la la boom-dee-ay, driving a chevrolet.

These children's rhymes are as old as the songs they parody. We all sang them, we all laughed along with them.
Do you think anyone should take them seriously? While I agree that there are signs everyone who works with kids need to watch for, I think anyone who goes postal about kids singing these songs needs their head examined.

I must have lived a sheltered life. I've never heard of any of these. I'd get onto my kids for singing them.

Man are you sick!! I know it because I happened to sing the teacher one to my g/f yesterday and she told me I was sick,so you must be too!(lol).
Doing parodies is an age-old custom .It is meant for fun and a laugh only.Sometimes people have to take a step backwards and see the whole picture.I think I would feel better if my child was singing this song with some friends than chatting online creating a hit list.

when i first began reading your discussion, i just thought that today you had something against teachers, but obviously by the time i got to the bottom, i got the point.
rhymes that have a mean twist to them are nothing new, and often they don't really have any meaning to them, some kid at some point in their school life, got annoyed by a teacher, and had the poeticism in them to change a song into a catchy but mean rhyme.
when you are a kid, these things have no real meaning to them, they are just a way to get other kids on your side, when you grow older, you begin to realise what such things truely mean, and that is why as an adult, i don't go around singing those sorts of rhymes.

What is interesting is how fast things songs spread, even without the internet, and when most kids rarely used the telephone.
