    it was similar to yours but it was "joe's the man with the big red nose"

    we also had "joes the man with the big big belly, the more he eats, the more its jelly"

    and opf course there aint no flies on anyone :)

    This song is still sung almost all the time at national events such as the Phoenix. I remember this year we had all the ventures who'd come back from the Explorer Belt to lead the entire campfire in a rendition of it, which really went well.
    The younger scouts who hadn't heard it before were amazed.

    First I heard of it was at Patrol Leadership Training. And then the Phoenix, and an MPC. Some of our Scouts thought it was hilarious though...

    Yep, its still in use. We used it at the world jamboree in 2003, no doubt it will be deployed in 2007
