Song Information Singers: Yeardley Smith Pamela Hayden Characters: Janey Lisa Appearance(s): "Fat Man and Little Boy"

Lisa and Janey's Patty Cake Rhyme is a song sung by Lisa and Janey.

Background

In the back yard of the Simpson home, Lisa and Janey played a Patty Cake game, singing as they clapped. Unbeknownst to the girls, Homer listened as they sang. At the end of each verse, it sounded like there was about to be a naughty word. Homer then gasped in shock, only to sigh in relief as the song continued with a non-naughty word. At the third "nearly naughty" occurrence, however, Homer gasped and passed out. The girls then began a fourth verse, only to be interrupted when Bart shot Lisa in the arm with a spitball.

Lyrics

[Homer watches Lisa and Janey's Patty Cake game. They do not see him.]

Lisa and Janey:

Miss Lucy had a steamboat.

The steamboat had a bell.

Miss Lucy went to Heaven

And the steamboat went to...

[Homer gasps.]

Lisa and Janey:

Hell-o operator...

[Homer gives a sigh of relief.]

Lisa and Janey:

Get me Number Nine,

And if you disconnect me

I'll chop off your be...

[Homer gasps again, more worried than before.]

Lisa and Janey:

'Hind the 'frigerator...

[Homer again sighs in relief, this time also wiping his brow.]

Homer:

Whew!

Lisa and Janey:

There was a piece of glass

Miss Lucy sat upon it,

And it cut her big fat...

[Homer gasps and passes out.]

Lisa and Janey:

Ass-k me no more questions.

I'll tell you no more-

[A spitball, shot by Bart, hits Lisa in the arm.]

Lisa:

Ow!

[The girls stop singing and take cover as Bart unleashes a barrage of spitballs.]

Behind the Laughter
