What words do you know?

Decades (yeep!) ago, I ran across a book of foolery in the University
of Michigan stacks.  It had words that worked for Sellinger's Round.
I only remember the beginning:

     The first catch was Sellenger's Round
     The cow jumped over the moon
     The goodwife shit in the piss pot
     The cream ran over her shoon

     <some line>
     <some line>
     I'll give you another as good as the other
     If you'll be ruled by me

And then it got dirty.  Anyone know *those* words?
