soul food?

I was thinking today, doing dishes, about mean schoolkid songs I learned on the bus.

I googled one, and apparently the ending I know is non-standard. Some of the other songs I learned I know with oral tradition-type deviations, but this alternate ending makes me think.

Joy to the world, Barney's dead.
We barbecued his head!
What happened to the body?
We flushed it down the potty.
What happened to the rest?
We fed it to the guest.
He said, he said it was the best!

(Apparently most people just repeat "and 'round and 'round it went" instead of the last three lines transcribed above.)
But yeah, what else is there to eat, other than head and body?

Joy to the world, the teacher's dead.
We barbecued her head!
What happened to her body?
We flushed it down the potty.
What happened to her toes?
We shoved them up her nose.
What happened to the rest of her
Nobody knows.
