<P> Down by the bay, Where the watermelons grow, Back to my home, I dare not go, For if I do, My mother will say: </P> <P> Usually the insertion lyrics follow some kind of variation of the question "Did you ever see a _____, _____ing a _____?", with rhyming words . For example: </P> <Ul> <Li> "Did you ever see a snake, baking a cake?" </Li> <Li> "Did you ever see a cat, wearing a hat?" </Li> <Li> "Did you ever see a whale, with a polka dot tail?" </Li> <Li> "Did you ever see a bear combing her hair?" </Li> <Li> "Did you ever see a llama wearing pajamas?" </Li> <Li> "Did you ever see a kangaroo using the loo?" </Li> </Ul> <Li> "Did you ever see a snake, baking a cake?" </Li>
