    And the snot keeps runnin down her nose

    Down her nose(sniff)×2
    Down her nose(sniff)×2
    And the snot keeps runnin Down her nose(sniff)×2

    These lyrics were taught to me by my grandfather in the 60's and 70's. My grandfather was born in 1898 and knew all kinds of fun and/or nasty songs.

    Oh, Grandma's in the cellar
    Oh, lordy can't you smell her.
    She's cookin' pancakes on that dam ole dirty stove.
    Her eyes are filled with matter,
    Her nose is in the batter,
    And the (sniff, sniffs) runnin' down her nose.

    Down her no-ose. (sniff sniff)
    Down her no-ose. (sniff)

    And the (sniff, sniffs) runnin' down her nose.

    It's called the Grandma In The Cellar Song, which is a Boy Scouts song.

    The version I learned is very similar:
    Grandma's in the cellar
    Lordy can't you smell her
    Bakin' biscuits on her dirt, dirt, dirty stove
    In her eye there is a matter
    that keeps drippin' in the batter
    And she whistles as the (juicy sniff) runs down her nose.....

    Well, this is too funny! I love these children's songs-- children have a whole "culture" of their own that gets passed down from older children to younger children, year after year.

    The version of this song I heard goes like this:

    Granny's in the cellar,
    Lordy, can't you smell her?
    Makin' biscuits on her dirty stove (Dirty stove!)
    In her eyes there is a matter
    Drippin' in the batter,
    And the [SNORT!] keeps runnin' down her nose!

    (Chorus)
    Down her nose! [SNORT, SNORT!]
    Down her nose! [SNORT, SNORT!]
    And the [SNORT!] keeps runnin' down her nose!
    [SNORT, SNORT!]
    In her eyes there is a matter,
    Drippin' in the batter,
    And the [SNORT] keeps runnin' down her nose!

    Wherever it says "[SNORT]," the singer is supposed to produce a nice, juicy, snot-sucking noise!

    There are probably countless variations on this, just as there are countless variations on that children's take-off of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"-- you know, the one that starts with "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school..."

    I am from NE Pa. I used to sing:

    Granny's in the cellar
    Lordy can't you smell her
    She's mixin' up a batch of cookies on her greasy stove
    Her eyes are full of matter
    Which keeps running in the batter
    And the (big sniff or snort) keeps running from her nose
    From her nose, from her nose
    And the (sniff or snort) keeps running from her nose

    I never thought I would find this song online!
