So cool to see these lyrics after all these years! I learned this in school, about 50 years ago. The only changes are: 1. instead of "rinky dinky do", we sang "doo vinicky von doo" 2. instead of "mine hand on mineself", we sang "mine hands by mine side." (I think that makes more sense, no?) 3. instead of "my momma dear", it was "mine teacher dear" (since we were singing it in school, I guess) 3. and last but not least, we sang "brain-tinker" (thinker) instead of "hat holder." That's all I can remember. Thanks for the happy memories!

The space between the nose & the lips was referred to as a "soup strainer" in Mrs. Nachbauer's version~1958.

It started:
Mit mine Hands on mine shoulders und vat ist dat here?
and continued with these following variations:

Hat Racker (Head)
Sveat Brower (forehead)
Eye Blinker (eyes)
Schnot Boxer (nose)
Bull Schiester (mouth)
Chin Chopper (chin)
