When I was 10 my mom made me learn this one.
Ladies and gentlemen
Hobos and tramps
Crossed-eyed mosquitos and bolegged Ants
I stand before you
To stand behind you
To tell you something I know nothing about
Last night
Around 3 o'clock this morning
A truck
Full of half loaded bricks
Rolled down my back alley
And half killed
My poor dead cat
I rushed to the hospital just in time
To see him sitting
At a round square cornered table
Eating vinegar
With a fork.
There's a famous german one like this. I'll try my best...
It was dark
And the moon shone brightly
When a car slowly drove around a corner, fast as a lightning
Early in the morning, at 4pm
Inside, there were sitting people, standing
Not making a sound and talking,
As a dead hare did some ice skating on a sandbank
Yellow belly custard, green snot pie, all mixed together in a dead dog’s eye, slap it on a butty nice and thick and swallow it down with a cold cup of sick.
Just ask the blind man, who saw them die.

Kicked that blind man in the eye
Knocked him through a rubber wall
Into a dry ditch and drowned them all
