Details
At School 17
Apple on a stick makes me sick,
Makes my heart beat two-forty-six,
Not because you're dirty, not because you're clean,
Just because you kissed a boy behind a magazine.
Girls, boys, have a lot of fun,
Here comes Johnny with a pickle up his bum,
He can wibble he can wobble he can even do the splits,
But I bet ya ten bucks that he can't do this.
Close your eyes and count to ten,
If you muck it up you're not my friend. (eyes closed)
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,
You didn't muck it up so you're my best friend.
Alternative version:
You mucked it up, so you're not my friend.
