All cultures seem to have their share of nursery rhymes, or just traditional sayings in general. I can't think of one that is distinctly American at the moment, but here's a song from Spain that I think is pretty funny:
Yo Tengo Un Moco
Yo tengo un moco
Lo saco poco a poco
Lo redondeo
Lo miro con deseo
Yo me lo como
Y como me sabe a poco
Volvemos a empezar!
English:
I have a booger
I have a booger
I pull it out little by little
I roll it up
I look at it with desire
I eat it
And as it hasn't much taste
We start over again!
What are some traditional rhymes or songs from your culture? (They don't have to be funny).

Re: Cultural Rhymes
From Costa Rica:
Los pollitos dicen pío, pío, pío
cuando tienen hambre
cuando tienen frío.
La gallina busca el maíz y el trigo
les da la comida y les presta abrigo.
Bajo de sus alas, acurrucaditos
¡duermen los pollitos
hasta el otro día!
Its not my culture, but its my favorite place in the world. I visited there with a school trip, and we visited a primary school. I had the best time of my life.
