Donald Trump's Name Replaces Donald Duck In A "Mickey Mouse Built A House" Verse That Is Included In A 2021 "Down By The Hanky Panky" Children's Rhyme

Edited by Azizi Powell

Latest Update: Sept. 3, 2022

This pancocojams post showcases a long version of the children's recreational rhyme "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" that includes the name of former President Donald Trump. That rhyme was published in May 2021 on a ten page* Mudcat folk music discussion thread "Origns: Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" that I started in 2006. (*as of Sept. 3, 2022). 

That May 2021 "Down By The Banks Of The Hanky Panky" rhyme is made up of lines or verses from several other children's rhymes. The name "Donald Trump" replaces the name "Donald Duck" which is usually found in the "Mickey Mouse Built A House" rhyme.

I heard at camp

Down by the bank with a hanky pank
where the bullfrogs jump from bank to bank
say E I O U
Listen to the words song (probably misheard)
I pledge allegiance to the flag
Michael Jackson is my dad
Pepsi cola burned him up
now he's drinking gasoline
gasoline is meant for cars
Now he's shootin up to mars
there's a place on Mars
where the women smoke cigars
and the men wear bikinis
and the babies drink martinis
every step you take is enough to kill a snake
when the snake is dead
you put mustard in its eyes
when the mustard dries
It is 1948
Mickey mouse builds a house
Donald trump messes up

Mirror mirror on the wall
Who the fairest of them all
Y O U

I added italics to highlight these two lines.
