Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think Enjoy yourself, while you're still in the pink The years go by, as quickly as a wink Enjoy yourself, enjoy yourself, it's later than you think

Don’t drink and dice

Mistakes were made.

As in, I was chopping an onion and cut off rather more of the nail from my left ring finger than one ought to lose at once. I’ve improvised a bandage out of a cotton ball, saran wrap, and a hair elastic. So it’s all right for now. I think it’s going to hurt a lot in the morning.

[on second thought, putting those lyrics behind a cut]

Oh, oh, Mr. Mitchell, I'm crazy about your sweet poontang. Oh, oh, Mr. Mitchell, I'll tell the world that it's a wang. I like your good peach cobbler and your apple pie, But when I get your poontang you will hear me cry: Oh, oh, Mr. Mitchell, I'm crazy about your sweet poontang Mr. Mitchell owned a sweet confectionery stand Way down south in Loosiana. Mr. Mitchell always had his pies and cake on hand Served in a pleasing manner. Miss Lindy Lou she tasted his brand new confection Mr Mitchell called his sweet poontang. And when Miss Lindy Lou with it made good connection This is what she yelled before the gang. Oh, oh, Mr. Mitchell, I'm crazy about your sweet poontang. Oh, oh, Mr. Mitchell, it's got me going with a bang Your cherry pie is juicy, so is your jelly roll But when you give me poontang I just lose control Oh, oh, Mr. Mitchell, I'm crazy about your sweet poontang

Give me lots of poontang Please don't make me plead Can't you see you've really got just what I need? Oh, oh, Mr. Mitchell, I'm wild about your sweet poontang!

(1929)

Today’s earworm wasn’t a song, but my mother’s voice gleefully reciting

What’s your name? Pudd’n Tane Ask me again I’ll tell you the same

it was still rattling in my head come evening, so I googled it.  It’s old.  How old, and precisely whence it came, is not known.  Most of the explanations sounded like just-so stories, so I will not reproduce them here.  (There was a scholarly citation to folklore collected from children in Los Angeles, which is where Mom grew up.  Also a song by an LA doo-wop group, in which the singer’s inamorata introduces herself as ‘Puddin N Tain’. The singer considers her so thoroughly admirable that he is happy to call her Puddin N Tain or anything she wants, even after he learns her name is Betty.)  I’m pretty sure I saw the Little Rascals version of the verse as a kid, but I don’t actually remember it. 

Further clicking led me to a 2007 conversation at mudcat.org, which included the lyrics above.  I stared.  Good lord, I thought, I have never seen words more obviously written for tumblr.  I must share this with the blue hellsite.

I post it here as a public service.
