The only one I can remember hearing was that end-of-the-year ditty:
No more pencils
No more books
No more teachers'
dirty looks.
I think most schoolground nasties are tailored to the specific individual and don't work for any other.

Well, OK.
Have you ever seen a funeral go by?
Did you ever think you'd be the next to die?
They wrap you up in a big white sheet,
And throw you in a hole, six foot deep.
The worms crawl in.
The worms crawl out.
The worms play pinochle on your snout.
And:
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school,
We have tortured every teacher, we have broken every rule.
[Mumble, mumble. (Lyrics?)]
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Teacher hit me with a ruler.
Hit her in the bean with a rotten tangerine.
And she don't teach no more.
Altnerative line:
Waited at the door with a loaded .44.

arghhhh, now you've done it jheem. I can't get that last ditty outta my mind. I know the missing lyrics. They're right there, taunting my, hiding in the back of my mind...grrrr.
We had the same ditty but some of the words were different...
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school,
We've tortured all the teachers, and we broke the golden rule.
mumble, mumble. (Lyrics?)]
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
Teacher hit me with a ruler.
shot er in the head, and now she's really dead
And she ain't gonna teach no more.

here's one version: http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/pages/tiBURNSCHL;ttJOHNBRWN.htmlThe Burning of the School Mine eyes have seen the glory of the burning of the school, We have beaten every teacher, we have broken every rule! We have smashed up all the blackboards, we have thrown out all the books* The school is burning down. Glory, glory, hallelujah! Teacher hit me with a ruler, I bopped her on the bean with a rotten tangerine, And I won't go to school no more. *or "We have wandered down the halls writing cuss words on the walls"

Sorry about that. The class I enjoyed the most as an undergraduate was Intro Folklore, taught by Alan Dundes. Anonymous jokes, riddles, gnomic utterances, songs, poems, xerographics and faxes, etc. The size of the class was huge, over 200, the reading long, but interesting, but he was one of the better lecturers I had.
