She had two hairs on the top of her head
One was alive and the other was dead.

She had two eyes at the front of her head
One was green and the other was red.

She had two teeth in the middle of her mouth
One pointed north and the other pointed south.

She had two holes in the middle of her noes
One for fingers and the other for her toes

She had two lips, two beautiful lips,
Shaped just like two battleships.

She had two knees in the middle of her legs
One liked bacon and the other like eggs

Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap).

Her ears stuck out like the sails of a boat
Her Adam’s apple wandered up and down her throat.

Oaka, Poka, Loka was her name (clap, clap).

She loved to polish her fingernails
She bought her polish in ten-gallon pails.

Ours was always Catalina Madalina Hoopensteiner Walendiner Hogan Logan Bogan 😂

But grandpa would always sing it “she had the most beautiful hairs on her head ten were livin and ten were dead” or “she had the most beautiful teeth in her mouth” etc. I like that rendition better. He passed away a couple days ago so it’s such a sweet reminder that he always made things more positive than they were. ❤️
