The Donut Song - Girl Scout Song with Lyrics

What happens when you find yourself in a donut shop?
LYRICS:
(subject to regional variations)
Well I walked around the corner and I walked around the block
And I walked right into a donut shop
And I picked up a donut right out of the grease
And I handed the lady a five cent piece
Well, she looked at the nickel and she looked at me
And she said, "This money isn't good you see.
There's a hole in the middle, I can see right through."
And I said, "There's a hole in the donut, too!
Thanks for the donut, so long!"

[@vexeqt]

Instead of "Thanks for the donut, so long!", I learned "Jump in the breadbox you crumb!".

[@PickleWonder]

Anyone else notice this is the same melody as the song "Do your chain hang low"?

[@johnwireman2660]

Yes. There’s probably a dozen songs associated with this tune, with Turkey in the Straw being the original.

My grandparents were from Cincinnati, and this is how they taught it to us: Well, I went to Cincinnati, and I walked around the block. And I walked right into a donut shop. And I picked up a donut and I wiped off the grease and I handed the lady a five cent piece. Well, she looked at the nickel and she looked at me and she said, "By golly, you can plainly see. There's a hole in the nickel and it goes right through." And I said, "There's a hole in the donut, too." Boom. Boom.

[@PDShimel]

... or at the end "jump in the breadbox, you crumb."

[@V3NNY8]

This is how i learned it 🎶 so i walked around the corner and i walked around the block and i walked right in to a doughnut shop. I picked up the doughnut and licked off the grease and handed the lady a 5 cent piece and she looked at the doughnut and she looked at me and she said this nickel isn’t good to me there’s a hole in the middle i can see right through. I sad “hey there’s a hole in my doughnut to” . So she chased me round the corner and she chased me round the block and she chased back up to the doughnut shop. She took back the doughnut and placed it in the grease and she handed me back my 5 cent piece. Thanks for the workout peace out girl scout! 🎶

(Sorry for little punctuation and misspelled words)

[@debbiebrown1793]

I never knew this song, I learned the following lyrics, to a completely different tune. It goes as follows : I walked in to a restaurant, to have something to eat, for I was very hungry, from my head down to my feet. So I ordered a doughnut and wiped off the grease, and handed the lady a 5 cent piece, so she looked at the nickel and she looked at me and she said this nickel is no good to me, for it has a hole and it goes right through and I said there's a hole in the doughnut too!

[@debbiebrown1793]

By the way, this is the original Brownie's lyrics to the song from the the late 1930's, and I learned it in the 1950's. I will have to look around for the soung that we used to sing it to.
