Question: Is anyone aware of the origins of this nursery rhyme!?
Andy Pandy, pudding 'n' pie,
kissed the girls and made them cry!.
When the boys came out to play,
he kissed them too - he's queer that way!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It's true, it's true, it's all so true
He kisses his old doggy too
He's weird in other ways as well
But all of them I cannot tell
Because those young with tender ear
Might listen in, and what they'd hear
So powerfully the words would sting --
He'd say, or "do," most anything!.
He always seems to shout you see
He's mad for what he cannot be:
A clever man who stands alone,
But law'd he sho' can throw a bone!.
At least that's what the good folks say;
But they don't know him anyway!.
I tend to think they'd rather not,
And catch the things I'm sure he's got!.
That's what we know who know him well;
The rest -- they say "Don't ask, don't tell!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
