Rejected Verses from Children's Songs

The Wheels on the Bus

"The politician on the bus goes, 'Vote for me,'
'Vote for me,'
'Vote for me.'
The politician on the bus goes, 'Vote for me,' all through the town."

"The emo kid on the bus goes, 'I am sad,'
'I am sad,'
'I am sad.'
The emo kid on the bus goes, 'I am sad,' all through the town."

"The druggie on the bus goes, 'I need a hit,'
'I need a hit,'
'I need a hit.'
The druggie on the bus goes, 'I need a hit,' all through the town."

"The bipolar man on the bus goes, 'Laugh, laugh, cry,'
'Laugh, laugh, cry,'
'Laugh, laugh, cry.'
The bipolar man on the bus goes, 'Laugh, laugh, cry,' all through the town."

"The psycho on the bus goes, [one continuous scream] all through the town."

If You're Happy and You Know it

"If you're happy and you know it, shoot a gun (bang, bang).
If you're happy and you know it, shoot a gun (bang, bang).
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you're happy and you know it, shoot a gun (bang, bang)."

"If you're happy and you know it, insult your friend ('You're dumb!').
If you're happy and you know it, insult your friend ('You're dumb!').
If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it.
If you're happy and you know it, insult your friend ('You're dumb!')."

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmid (final verse)

"
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmid
His name was my name, too.
Whenever we went out,
the people used shout,
'There goes
John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmid!'
So I eliminated him."
