What else do you do while in the last stages of a 55-mile bike ride and you are struggling into a ferocious headwind? Sing silly songs of course. And then you enter into a debate as to whether more of these silly songs originated on one side of the Atlantic or another. Check them out and see how silly one can be.
Pink Toothbrush Blue Toothbrush. Max Bygraves (UK). From the London Docklands. Sharon claims I sang this to her during our courting days but the Truth-o-meter might have a problem with that.

Seven Little Girls. Paul Evans (USA). Would these lyrics even pass the censors today? Evans was also well known for morbid car-crash songs!!!

Telephone Man. Meri Wilson (USA). A song with “with suggestive lyrics and a breathy squealing voice”.

And I can’t bring myself to link “Yummy Yummy Yummy, I’ve got Love in my Tummy” so I will close with a rhyme that is not on YouTube:
I wish I were a little grub
With whiskers round my tummy.
I'd climb into a honey pot
And make my tummy gummy.
