It is very similar to one of yours but it went like this: I am a pretty little dutch girl, as pretty as pretty can be, be, be and all the boys on the baseball team come chasing after me, me, me My boyfriend's name is Tony, he comes from the land of Baloney, With 25 toes and a pickle for a nose, that's my boyfriend Tony One day he gave me peaches, one day he gave me pears, pears, pears, One day he gave me 50 cents and took me to the fair, fair, fair. And when the fair was over, I asked him to take me home, home, home, He said he had another date and left me all alone, lone, lone. I gave him back his peaches, I gave him back his pears, pears, pears, I gave him back his 50 cents and kicked him down the stairs, stairs, stairs. I kicked him over London, I kicked him over France, France, France, I kicked him over China where he lost his underpants, pants, pants!!! The boys think its pretty funny, especially the ending!

My boyfriend’s name is Tony, he comes from the land of Baloney,
With 25 toes and a pickle for a nose, that’s my boyfriend Tony

One day he gave me peaches, one day he gave me pears, pears, pears,
One day he gave me 50 cents and took me to the fair, fair, fair.

And when the fair was over, I asked him to take me home, home, home,
He said he had another date and left me all alone, lone, lone.

I gave him back his peaches, I gave him back his pears, pears, pears,
I gave him back his 50 cents and kicked him down the stairs, stairs, stairs.

I kicked him over London, I kicked him over France, France, France,
I kicked him over China where he lost his underpants, pants, pants!!!

The boys think its pretty funny, especially the ending!
