So, I was sitting here in my office being the very serious adult that I am. Tweaking a web site’s code for a friend. Writing an article. Reading the blogs of potential Dominican Republic travelers. And I heard him. His words crept up through the ventilation system and leaked into my office. Jangly guitar and grizzly lyrics – the kind five year-old boys find hilarious.
Great big globs of ooey gooey gopher guts
Mingled mangled monkey meat
Itty bitty birdy feet
French fried eye balls rolling down a dirty street
That’s what Mommy’s made of.
I’m quitting early. I’ve got a duet to sing and some cookie dough ice cream to eat. The first day back on the job is the hardest isn’t it?

Ah ha, I can only imagine the melodious torture!!
ben stewart says:
Wow! That is truly amazing.
Nancy Tyler says:
Don’t think for a minute that the cookie dough in your ice cream counts toward your 50% raw diet. It doesn’t. Bad hippie!
Grovesfan says:
After that song and ice cream, you’re going to have one BIG belly ache!

The lyrics I remember are a little different.
Great big balls of greezy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Little babies’ dirty feat
Great big eyeballs swimming in red bloody blood
And I forgot my spoon
That was actually on a “kids’” tape that my mom let us listen to. Go figure.
Linda Sue says:
Your lyrics are cleaner than the ones my big brother taught me! Being grown up isn’t all folks try to make it out to be – I’m 60 and still deciding IF I’ll grow up this side of heaven. We are supposed to do all our work as if it were for the Lord – so eat that ice cream in a worshipful way!
Jenny says:
And I know yet another version!
“Great big globs of greasy grimy gopher guts,
Mulitated monkey meat,
Little birdie’s dirty feet.
Great big gob of petrified pelican puke,
And I forgot my spoon.”
When I was 5, I added the bridge of
“I’ll use my fingers……….and maybe my toes!”
The Secret Life Kat says:
Will this song be on your next album? The lyrics are so stirring….or perhaps churning…
Krista says:
Thanks, now I have that stuck in my head…
hollybird says:
I remember yet ANOTHER version..
great green globs of
greasy grimy gopher guts
mutilated monkey’s meat
little birdie’s dirty feet
all wrapped up in a french fried eyeball
and i’m without a spoon..
but I’ve got a straw…..
oh yeah…. my son and I loved that song when he was younger! i still do. maybe when he is no longer in the “I’m 12, and everything my mom laughs at is stupid” phase, he will think it’s great again???
anon4him says:
one more version for good measure:
16 tons of greasy grimy gopher guts
Mutilated monkey meat
Little dirty birdy feet
16 pounds of all-purpose porpoise puss
Floating in pink lemonade
And I forgot my spoon!
I hope the duet went well!
Rowan says:
I think it’s great we all learned a different version. Here’s the NorCal one I learned:
Great big gobs of gooey grimey gopher guts
mutilated monkey meat
vulture vomit at your feet
chopped up brains and half-chewed finger nails
oops, I forgot my spoon!
And then to go eat cookie dough…mmm – good times!

I heard it with “minced monkey meat (or cghopped monkey’s feet) and fried little Parakeet”.
