Rhyme: 

My Mummy had a baby,
Yummy, yummy,
My Daddy is a dentist,
Gummy, gummy,
My sister is a show off,
Honey, honey,
My brother is a donkey,
Bang, bang, boom, boom,
Fifty bullets in my head,
Turn around, touch the ground,
FREEZE!

My mother is a baker,
Bakey, bakey, (Yum, yum, fat tum.)
My father is a butcher, 
Choppy, choppy,
My sister is a show off,
"How'd ya like it? How'd ya like it?"
My brother is a cowboy, 
Bang, bang, you're dead,
High-oh bullets in your head,
Some are green, some are blue,
Some are shaped like chicken poo!
Singing, "Yi, yi yippee, yippee, yi,
Chicken pie!"
Singing, "Yi yi yippee , your mama is a hippy."

Bang, bang, you're dead.
Fifty bullets in your head,

Ey ey yipee my mamma is a hippie,
Sing it ey ey yipee, yipee, ey.
