Mrs. McGuire Peed in the Fire
Mrs. McGuire Peed in the Fire
Rhyme
Mrs. McGuire peed in the fire
The fire was too hot
She peed in a pot
The pot was too wide
She peed in the Clyde*
And all the wee fishes
Swam up her backside!
Notes
*The Clyde River.
Ewan McVicar has a version of it as follows in his book, "Doh Ray Me, When Ah Wis Wee":
Mrs McGuire peed on the fire
The fire was too hot so she peed in the pot,
The pot was too round so she peed on the ground
The ground was too flat so she peed on the cat,
And the cat ran away with a pee on his back.
