Bang Bang Lulu

Bang Bang Lulu is a traditional folklore song about Lulu and the men she's been with. The verses suggest explicit lyrics but each time skips to the beginning of the chorus, as in

Lulu had a boyfriend / He drove a garbage truck / Never got no garbage / 'Cos all he did was ...

It was also popular as a children's schoolyard or bus-trip song, where the explicit language is obscured by torturous transitions in the lyrics:

Bang bang Lulu, Bang bang Lulu, Bang bang Lulu, Lulu bang bang.
Lulu had a teacher, the teacher had a bell, Lulu went to heaven, the teacher went to...
Hell-o operator give me number ni-yeh-ne-uh, Lulu's on the toilet, wiping her...
Behind the iron curtain, there was a piece of glass, Lulu fell upon it and broke her little...
Ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies, this is the story of how Lulu dies:
Lulu had two boyfriends, they both were very rich; one was a playboy, the other was a B**CH!

The song has been recorded by early Ska musicians like Lloyd Charmers in 1970 and later covered by various pop artists including Goombay Dance Band and Boney M.
