Strange children's songs

Do you know any strange children’s songs?

I know a ton in my language. They just make no sense. I’ll try to translate one:

"I have caught a mosquito
Melted the grease off it
This barrel is big and fat
Filled with its grease
Now make me a pair of boots
You should get started
If I don’t have any cash
You’ll get grease in barrel

I have your boots right here
They’re really nice
Those who see these boots
Are going to laugh
There are big holes in them
My toes will get cold
If you think that’s cheating
You can keep the grease"

I don’t know why I suddenly remembered that one, but it always struck me as oddly nonsensical. Even as a child.

What are some nonsensical or strange children’s songs you know?

This is quite a strange one I learned as a child

There was an old man called Michael Finnigan
He grew whiskers on his chinnigan
The wind came up and blew them in again
Poor old Michael Finnigan, begin again
