School Tour Bus Songs

Bitz n Pieces

Everywhere we go - oh, everywhere we go-oh,
People always ask us, People always ask us,
Who we are, who we are,
And where do we come from, and where do we come from,
And we tell them, and we tell them,
We're from (wherever)
We're from (wherever)
And if they don't hear us, and if they don't hear us...
We Shout a little louder, we shout a little louder......

Repeat from beginning until you cannot scream any louder, ah memories...

Any more songs do share!!!

Yis are all a bunch of **** heads up the front,

Oh, just remembered another,

Stop the bus we want a wee wee,
Stop the bus we want a wee wee,
Stop the bus we want a wee wee,
Or we'll all be swimmin home.

Bang bang rosie, rosie banged all day

She threw him in the water to see if he could swim
He swam all the waters, he swam all the falls
Rosie got excited and she grabbed him by the ...

I remember a regular one about an old woman who 'had a penknife long and sharp' and she 'stuck the penknife in the baby's heart' - down by the river something.

Am I imagining this song?


...and of course the usual "yis are all a crowd of wankers down the back"!

No, of course you aren't imagining that song. Weile Waile it's called, and Ronnie Drew does an excellent version of it.

Pronounced Weelya, Waulya and Saulya

There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, a weile weile waile
There was an old woman and she lived in the woods, down by the river Saile

She had a baby three months old, a weile weile waile
She had a baby three months old, down by the river Saile

She had a pen knife long and sharp, a weile weile waile
She had a pen knife long and sharp, down by the river Saile

She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, a weile weile waile
She stuck the pen knife in the babys heart, down by the river Saile

There were three loud knocks come a'knockin on the door (bang the table/dooe three times here),a weile weile waile
There were three loud knocks come a'knockin on the door (bang the table/dooe three times here), down by the river Saile

There were two policemen and a special-branchman, a weile weile waile
There were two policemen and a special-branchman, down by the river Saile

They put a rope around her neck, a weile weile waile
They put a rope around her neck, down by the river Saile

They pulled the rope and she got hung, a weile weile waile
They pulled the rope and she got hung, down by the river Saile

And that was the end of the woman in the woods, a weile weile waile
And that was the end of the baby too, down by the river Saile

Thanks for that - I haven't heard other than on tour buses in the 1970s, :eek:

I remember singing "the wheels on the bus" innocently at a young age while on a trip to see a reservoir in the Dublin mountains. The driver said he couldnt concetrate and if we didnt shut up, he would lose control, go over the edge and we'd all die in a firey accident.

What a horrible thing to say to children on a school tour! (I've just thought of this now for the first time in decades ).

This is the one Wishbone............

Doctor DooM

One school trip (6th class I think) we all sang bohemian rhapsody, including headbanging.

Mrs. MacGyver

We also used to sing Mary Mack, all dressed in black, with silver buttons all down her back...

Firetrap

We also sang a variation on the Stop the bus. Instead of 'wee wee' our class would sing 'fertilise the grass'. There was also another song which is too filthy to repeat here. Not bad going for primary school kids.

mc nuggets

"Johnny had a pigeon a pigeon a pigeon,
Johnny had a pigeon a pigeon he had."

"He flew it by day and he flew it by night,
and when he came home he was covered in....

Johnny had a pigeon a pigeon .."

whatsgoinon

bang bang rosie

and that one where you sing about whoever's going out at the time
he's got mary and johnny in his hands
he's got mary and johnny in his hands
he's got mary and johnny in his hands
he's got the whole world in his hands

i hated school tours, except for the day we were brought to an open day in UCG, with a STUDENT teacher, half of us legged it to the boozer and got mangled, oh good times!!

Hail to the

Hail to the bus driver bus driver man.

In May/June 1990 I was in 5th class and we went on the worst school tour ever. It included a trip to a fish farm!!:mad::(:mad:

Luckily someone had brought a tape of Italia '90 songs and we spent all the time on the bus singing the likes of "Give It A Lash Jack" "Were Gonna Start A Fire" and of course "Ole, Ole Ole" over and over. That was good bus trip.:D

I never heard this one until recently when I heard a few drunken girls sing it on a Connolly-Maynooth train. They were from Blanch apparently. Found it irritating I must say.

See if you can get the rest of this :

Well she had a wooden leg
It was hollow in the middle
She use to tie a string to it
and play it like a fiddle....

there's actually a good few more verses than that in that song. i can't remember them all now off the top of my head, but i know there was definitely the 'are the woman that killed the child... ' verse, and there were a couple others too, i think. just small things, but i have to say, never heard taht one on the bus. we all sang johnny (or a teacher) had a pigeon, we'd count down bottles on teh wall, or sing the latest pop songs. will smith, s club 7, and five.

i kid you not.

i'm surprised this one hasn't appeared yet. It went on forever....:D


The rattlin' bog

O-ro the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley-o
O-ro the rattlin' bog, the bog down in the valley-o

And in that bog there was a tree, a rare tree, a rattlin' tree
With the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Now on that tree there was a limb, a rare limb, a rattlin' limb
With the limb on the tree and the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o.

Now on that limb there was a branch, a rare branch, a rattlin' branch
With the branch on the limb and the limb on the tree and the tree in the bog
And the bog down in the valley-o.

(Repeat, adding a line each time)
Now on that branch there was a twig, a rare twig, a rattlin' twig.....

Now on that twig there was a nest, a rare nest, a rattlin' nest.....

Now in that nest there was an egg , a rare egg, a rattlin' egg.....

Now in that egg there was a bird, a rare bird, a rattlin' bird.....

Now on that bird there was a feather, a rare feather, a rattlin' feather .....

Now on that feather there was a flea, a rare flea, a rattlin' flea .....

A lot of these songs are still going strong,plus a few much ruder, at your local cub or scout troop. They are all campfire regulars.

I think you might have forgotten a verse.. after the policemen arrived:-

Are you the woman what killed the child/chile, a weile weile waile
Are you the woman what killed the child/chile, down by the river Saile

edit: doh, someone pipped me to the post. Nevertheless, I pointed out the colloquialism!

Even now me and my boyfriend still sing it regularly!! Bring back Jack!!

On top of spaghetti,
All covered with sand,
I shot my poor teacher, with a red rubber band,
I shot her with pleasure,
I shot her with pride,
I couldnt have missed her (or something similar to that anyway),
Cos she was 40 foot wide.

I went to her funeral,
I stood on her grave,
Some people threw flowers,
I threw a grenade.

Then ten seconds later,
I heard a big boom,
I saw my poor teacher,
Fly over the moon!

Ha! When I went on a school tour to Paris in 6th class, me and my then best friend were sitting together for all of it. He happened to be the most annoying person in the world and everyone knew it. One day, everyone started singing this and it drove him insane! That was flippin priceless.

All through secondary school, any time we crossed the Liffey onto the Northside, everyone would just erupt into absolute madness with screaming and shouting, and then on the way back, there would be cheers

ok don't know if this is right place for this but here goes! Does anyone remember the religious songs we were taught in primary school? I was out with a few friends over the xmas and we strted to try remember some of them. one went :

far away in kenya where people are so poor, found that with a little help they could do much more, seeds and schools and factories swimming in the bay, everyone decided that they'd call it haram bay, haram bay, haram bay lets pull together, haram bay day by day!
We couldn't remember the rest.

Another song was growing up growing up to be.................

Anyone remember any of these songs??? I'd love to find the religion book we used think it was in 4th class. All the songs were in the back.

Here ya go......

THE TOWN OF BALLYBAY
In the town of Ballybay there is a lassie dwelling
I knew her very well And the story is worth telling
Her father kept a still - he was a good distiller
And when she took a drink, well, the devil wouldn't fill her

CHORUS
With me ring a do a dum - me ring a do a daddio
Me ring a do a dum - whack fol da daddio
She had a wooden leg that was hollow down the middle
She used to tie a string on it and play it like a fiddle
She fiddled in the hall - she fiddled in the alleyway
She didn't give a damn - she had to fiddle anyway
Chorus
She said she couldn't dance - unless she had her wellie on
And when she had them on she could dance as well as anyone
She wouldn't go to bed - unless she had her shimmy on
But when she had it on she would go as quick as anyone
Chorus
She had lovers by the score - every Tom and Dick and Harry
She was courting night and day - but still she wouldn't marry
And then she fell in love with a fella with a stammer
When he tried to run away - she hit him with a hammer
Chorus
She had childer up the stairs - she had childer in the brier
And another ten or twelve sat roaring by the fire
She fed them on potatoes and on soup she made with nettles
On lumps of hairy bacon that she boiled up in a kettle
Chorus
