Ho, Ho, Ho! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

A word three times in a row in a song.





The penguin/hoho art was lifted from a baby bib at Blue Morning Expressions, and to make this a review instead of pilfering, you might want to go there and look at the baby bibs! There are other things for sale too—finished items and materials.


THREE. Just three. Not three of four. Not six. Three and only three.

Since I was too late to play it on the last thread...

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette.

There are lice, lice, lice,
Big as field mice
At the store, at the store,
At the quartermaster's store.

--A camp song taught to me by my Eagle Scout brother. Everything at the quartermaster's store is either nasty or defective, and is named thrice, then rhymed. Endless new verse possible. For instance,
"Chains, chains, chains
That rust up when it rains" or
"Rats, rats, rats,
Big as alley cats."

That first one is probably Tex Ritter (maybe), John Ritter's dad. Possibly.

A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what he could see, see, see
But all that he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea

But the one little duck with the feather on his back,
He led the others with his quack, quack, quack.
Quack, quack, quack.
He led the others with his quack, quack, quack.
