Children's Song: Daddy's ABCs

Most of this one does not have an original tune as such.  This more of a keep the rythm kind of song.

I use the ABC's as a chorus:
7  ABCDEFG
6  HIJKLM
7  NOPQRST
6  UVWXYZ

(Verses I heard as a kid)
+
7  Mary had a little lamb
7  She kept it in the closet
7  And ev'ry time she let it out
8  It left a little deposit


7  Minnie was a skinny girl
6  The slimmest girl in town
8  She took a bath, went down the drain
6  And now the poor girl's drowned


(original verses for the girls)
6  Kittens are the cutest
5  Little balls of fur
8  And if you're really nice to them
5  Maybe they will pur


(I think this next one is my wife's favorite)
5  Paul was a preacher
7  And a very handsome man
8  Had the local girls confessing
5  Any way they can


7  Sally married a rockstar
6  For his fame and his wealth
7  But now she's divorced him
6  For his brains and his health



7  Fruit is my favorite food
7  It makes me feel all airy
7  That's because I'm all backed up
7  From eating eaten too much dairy


I went back and deleted a few of them that were less appropriate.  While I personally have a sometimes irreverent and inappropriate sense of humor, I have decided that there is enough garbage out there without me adding to it.
