This is a short limerick my father taught me. I think it's old, and has been reused many times for popular music, and goes back to Brooklyn New York, from the 50's or even older from my brief research.
It must be spoken in a Brooklyn style accent or it won't sound correct and is no where near as funny. My accent is not entirely correct but it's pretty close. My father actually does it better.. ;-)
My video is at DLive
Thirty dirty birds
Sitting on a curb
Chirping and Burping
And eating
Dirty earthworms
Along comes Herbie
From thirty-third
And third
Saw the thirty
Dirty birds
Sitting on a curb
Chirping and Burping
And eating
Dirty earthworms
Boy he was
Disturbed
