Childhood Medical Songs or Rhymes

Does anyone remember any kids songs or rhymes about RTs or other embarrassing medical procedures? I can't recall any but there must have been some. We had any number of dirty songs like Cararaboomdea, George met a girl today … but no medical ones. Were kids so gun shy about their anuses they didn't want to think about it.

Perhaps now that we are adults, we are rather ashamed at the childishness and tastelessness of the songs or rhymes we used back when very young and unenlightened about the world.

Kids will be kids. Let them have fun.

I remember this one: “Time to put the thermometer up your butt! Up your butt! Up your butt! Hold it in till mom takes it out, takes it out, takes it out! If you push it out, you gotta start again!”…

I overheard the preteen neighbor girls and their friends jumping rope to this:

“ THERMOMETER!

Mom gets the thermometer and brings it to my bed

She pulls down my panties and my face turns red

THERMOMETER!

Mom goos it up and puts it in my

butt

Then she pulls it out and tells me that I’m hot

THERMOMETER!”

...and then there’s much delightful giggling!

(Then it starts over)

There was a great pictorial layout and video from 18 eighteen magazine back a number of years where a young adult actress, “ Lacey Blue” got a rectal mercury thermometer sent up her butt and all the while, singing a nursery rhyme!

Post the link if you ever find it!

Let's not forget Shirley Temple singing along to the Good Thermometer Lollipop..

“The Good thermometer lollipop, goes up you butt! Up your butt! And then it comes out with pooooo… 🎶🎶”

Or, was that the Animal Crackers in my Soup tune? 🤔

“Rectal thermometer in my butt! In my butt!! In my butt!! Rectal thermometer in my butt!! Poopie doopie doo 🎶🎶🎶”

Perhaps now that we are adults, we are rather ashamed at the childishness and tastelessness of the songs or rhymes we used back when very young and unenlightened about the world.

I doubt it. I consider myself both childish and tasteless, but it would seem there aren’t any songs to add. And that makes sense if you think about it. Especially considering if adults heard kids singing about rectal temps while playing hopscotch, they’d probably tell them to quit it. But the fact is, it just wasn’t impactful enough on their lives to be enshrined in song.
