Question

One bright day in the middle of the night.

Answer 2

I remember it too! I think there is a verison that goes on and on. Haha, but this is all that I remember. Ah, to diverge back to childhood, would be so refreshing. Stay strong

Answer 3

i remember a slightly different version

one fine day in the middle of the night

two dead men got up to fight

back to back they faced each other

drew their swords and shot each other

a blind man saw it

the deaf man heard it

the man with no legs came running

an ambulence with no wheels came skidding round the corner and half-killed a dead cat

Answer 4

:) ooh yes i liked that.

try some edward lear or shel silverstein, they write glorious nonsense poetry. not quite the same but brilliant stuff anyway. yum.

The Owl and the p***y-cat went to sea

    In a beautiful pea green boat,

They took some honey, and plenty of money,

    Wrapped up in a five pound note.

The Owl looked up to the stars above,

    And sang to a small guitar,

'O lovely p***y! O p***y my love,

      What a beautiful p***y you are,

          You are,

          You are!

What a beautiful p***y you are!'

(that's lear)

Answer 5

What the Blind Man Saw

One bright day in the middle of the night

Two dead boys got up to fight

Back to back they faced each other

Drew their swords and shot each other

A deaf policeman heard the noise

He came and killed those two dead boys

    One bright day in the middle of the night

As I was walkin' up the stair

I saw a man who wasn't there

He wasn't there again today

Oh how I wish he'd go away

Jaybird sittin' on a hickory limb

He winked at me and I winked at him

His eyes were red and his teeth were green

Sat there pickin' on a tambourine

(chorus) One bright day in the middle of the night

A monkey and a flea and three blind mice

Sat on a curbstone shootin' dice

The monkey did a flip and fell on the flea

The flea said, "Whoops, there's a monkey on me"

A Twinkie and a Tastykake knockin' at the door

They just come from the mini-mart store

Granny went upstairs to get her gun

Should-a seen the Twinkie and the Tastykake run

(chorus) One bright day in the middle of the night

As I was walkin' down the street

Who do ya think I chanced to meet?

It was Godzilla and old King Kong

Stompin' on buildings and singin' a song

Red and blue and delicate green

The King can't catch it 'n' neither can the Queen

Bring it in the house through the 'lectric socket

Catch a rainbow and put it in your pocket

(chorus) One bright day in the middle of the night

If you don't believe these lies are true

Ask the blind man, he saw it too
