Summary: | A humourously "disgusting" song typical of twentieth century North American adolescents. Describes a variety of repulsive and putrescent objects, then suggests that "I" would relish them as food. Campfire song sung at Anglican girls' camp. Indexer can find no annotation, but remembers variant popular in California and Oregon during the 1950s. Fewer items were listed (in fact, only the gopher guts), but they were "floating in the Mulligan stew". She heard a version more similar to this in Maine in the early 1980's.
