The Sergeant Major's Daughter Oh, she don't act like she oughter, She's the segeant major's daughter. She goes strolling through the garden Where the roses grow the thickest. When she can't find grass to wipe her ass, She wipes it on the picket. Chorus: Rinky dinky doodle dum, Stick your finger up your bum. Pull it out and smell your thumb, Rinky dinky doodle dum.
