Silly songs

[beetiger]

More on the details of old family movies later, but for now, a childhood song question:

There's a tune which I think sometimes gets called "Arabian Song", the one that usually gets used in cartoons to denote snake charming, with the rhythm "NaNa Naa Naa Naa, NaNa NaNa NaNa Naa". The lyrics I learned for it as a kid started "All the girls in France..." and were rather bizarre.

If you know what I'm talking about, and you have lyrics you sang as a kid, please post them, together with where you grew up. I get the impression that this is one that has had a lot of regional variation, and I am curious.

Providence, RI: public elementary schools.

There's a place in France
Where the ladies where no pants
If you find them there
You can smell their underwear

I think there was another rhyming couplet after that, but I can't remember it. I do remember most of the "Yay! No more school!" songs that we used to sing, because I sing them every early summer. Want the lyrics to those?

I meant, Where the ladies wear no pants.

And I was born in '75, so this is circa early 80's.
