Tell Me Why On Earth Anyone Would Want To Go "'Round The Mulberry Bush"?

Wtf are you on?

I want to know why the cobbler thought it was a good idea to have both a monkey AND a weasel in his workshop.

Isn't that another nursery rhyme about dead kids? Like Ring Around the Rosy?

Ring around my asshole

I don't know, OP ask the muffin man. He lives on Drury Lane.

Just where was this pie that Little Jack Horner pulled that plum out of?

My name's Puddentain. Ask me again and I'll tell you the same.

Remember Lisa Minooli using that rhyme to simulate a breakdown and take shameless advantage of her mother’s death?

Well when you grow up a girl in Mulberry and don't like the boys, there isn't much else to do!

Monkey and weasel were slurs, r2.

Well, what else is there to do so early in the morning?

Fuck all of you...I grew up with 30 siblings, and we lived in a damn SHOE! Our mother never knew what to do.

I like blueberries.

r10

Fuck you

mulberries are excellent!

I’m still trying to figure out what cockles are?

16 replies and no one mentioned Wee Willie's Winkie?

Especially early in the morning....

Because Mr. Mulberry had a 9 inch cock.

Remember Demi Moore's bush???

Not really

Some us prefer to ride a cock-horse to Banbury Cross.

R16, cockles are oysters. Cockle shells were used to line garden and graveyard paths.

R10, it is thought the song refers to pawning items; it could also be a reference to the workings of a mechanized loom, where "Monkey" and "Weasel" were terms for moving parts. The latter is most likely, as the dance that accompanied this song appears to mirror the movements of a loom.

OP, the Mulberry bush referred to may come from the exercise taken in a women's prison of the 1600s.

There was a cute guy on the other side

Why is an old man playing knick-knack on a kid's knee and talking about his bone? Sounds like a pervert.

The spider can have the curds for all I care.

I am still trying to figure out Red Rover, Red Rover, why would anyone want to come over.

I'd go round the mulberry bush, but people are always telling me to go round the roses instead.

Cockles are not oysters.

r21

Then they are gay because you never forget that black forest

R17 Not to forget Will Wikle's weenie.

They start you off with the mulberry bush, then they force you to do a shitload of chores and go to church. It's a trap, no question about it.

I fell down and broke my crown, and Jill came tumbling after.

Why’s everybody lookin’ at me?

We’re lactose intolerant, don’tcha know.

R35] And apparently vinegar and brown paper works well on broken crowns.

Little Boy Blew. He needed the money.

A true cinematic epic...

And why, exactly, wouldn’t Bill Bailey come home?!

People are eating less chicken.

r41 - It depended on who he had to come home to, honey child.

R43, you must be an elder gay. I work with lots of millennials, & when I posed this question I got nothing but blank stares. "Who's Bill Bailey?!"

The mulberry is a tree. Not a bush.

This is why I don't lend out my tiara with the big emeralds.
