Maidens take heed....
On top of Old Smokey,
All covered with snow,
I lost my true lover,
For courting too slow.

For courting's a pleasure,
But parting is grief,
And a false-hearted lover,
Is worse than a thief.

A thief will just rob you,
And take what you have,
But a false-hearted lover,
Will lead you to your grave.

The grave will decay you,
And turn you to dust,
Not one boy in a hundred
A poor girl can trust.

They'll hug you and kiss you,
And tell you more lies,
Than crossties on a railroad,
Or stars in the sky.

So come ye young maidens,
And listen to me,
Never place your affection
In a green willow tree.

For the leaves they will wither,
The roots they will die,
And you'll be forsaken,
And never know why.

11. Well, if I could be of help...
just remember - and I tell you this because you are my DU sister, and I don't want you to go astray - kissing frogs is really kind of dumb.

13. On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table,
And onto the floor,
Went across the kitchen,
And out through the door.

14. I'll see your spaghetti, and raise you a pizza...
On top of my pizza
All covered with sauce
Could not find the mushrooms
I think they got lost

I looked in the closet
I looked in the sink
I looked in the cup that
Held my cola drink

I looked in the saucepan
Right under the lid
No matter where I looked
Those mushrooms stayed hid

Next time you make pizza
I’m begging you, please
Do not give me mushrooms
But just plain old cheese

15. Oh, man, that's great! Never heard that one before.
...Great green gobs of greasy, grimy gopher guts,

(I'll bet you can fill in the rest.)

17. As it should be. I don't suppose that "Little bitty birdies' beaks" would
endear you to the mam'zelles.

So best to let it go.
