Being Mr. Kenny

My Mum was talking about a song that my Grandma apparently used to sing. She doesn’t remember all the lyrics, but she does remember that the song begins “Oko boko, hit him on the boko” before continuing with something about “slitty eyes”.

I’ll try to get the full version for a future post, unless it turns out to be horribly racist.

The song ends with the words, “I widdy wee”.

Update

We managed to find a few of the lyrics, except for one line. If anyone knows it, help would be much appreciated :)

Once there was a poor little man
His arms were long and his legs were small,
[ missing lyrics ]
And the poor little man couldn’t walk at all.

Chorus:

Oko boko, pat him on the boko
Roll him down the hill like a beecham’s pill.
Ido nora, nikky nakky nora,
Roko boko, I widdy wee.

Update

Found them online …

Also, Beecham’s pill were a laxative, so that’s interesting.
