I will confirm for Ed that JD’s ditty is a real song. But I must have learned the PG-13 version because I’ve always sung “the monkey, he got drunk, and fell on the elephant’s trunk.”

And I’m shocked to learn that a man as cultured as Ed is unacquainted with Cake.

(Please don't hurt me Steelers and Eagles fans. It's just a small joke.)
