there are so many versions of the song. BUT I By Natasha from Australia on 8 August 2011 By Carrie from United States on 28 August 2011 When I had my twins, this is one of the few songs that I could remember the words to! (or at least I thought. After looking at the lyrics, it seems that I made up quite a bit!) My babies smile every time I sing it now. By Sally from United States on 13 October 2011 By Billy from Bermuda on 13 October 2011 By Trolololo from United States on 31 October 2011 On top of a body~ All covered in blood~ I just shot Barney, With a great big gun! I went to his funeral, I went to his grave~ Some people threw flowers... I threw a grenade! So dear PBS~ Next time you choose~ A terrible show~ Look out for the head, That's gonna blow! By Matthew from United States on 10 November 2011 i remember this one version growing up in elemetery school (i am 14 now in 9th grade) it went like on top of old smokey all covered in lead i just shot dumb barney all up in the head. then there was this one part that went like down the valley and something.
