1725 English "Grenadier" Schoolyard Counting Chant
Now he acts the Grenadier,
Calling for a Pot of Beer:
Where's his Money? He's forgot:
Get him gone, a Drunken sot.
1907 Scottish "John Blair" variant of the "Grenadier"
Eenty, teenty, tuppeny bun,
Pitching tatties doon the lum;
Who's there? John Blair.
What does he want? A bottle of
beer.
Where's your money? I forgot.
Go downstairs, you drunken sot.
1950 English "Mickey Mouse" variant of the “Grenadier”
Mickey Mouse
In a public house
Drinking pints of beer.
Where's your money?
In my pocket.
Where's your pocket?
I forgot it.
Please walk out.
