Milk, Milk, Lemonade...

Point to one's chest, groin, then butt:

Milk, milk, lemonade
round the corner fudge is made!

This one goes back a while - at least 1958, probably well before - and even showed up once (without the hand motions) on Pee Wee's Playhouse when Pee Wee bought two bottles of milk and a bottle of lemonade at the grocery store.

    Two longer versions I remember (suburban Philadelphia, late 60s/early 70s):

    Milk, milk, lemonade
    round the corner fudge is made!
    Stick your finger in the hole
    Out comes a chocolate Tootsie Roll

    Milk, milk, lemonade
    round the corner fudge is made!
    Push the button, pull the chain
    Out comes a chocolate choo-choo train

    Ithaca, NY late 60s -- just the classic two-liner.

    Los Angeles, early 60's, the four liner with 'push the button, pull the chain' - although I thought it was a three liner without the 'round the corner fudge is made' line. Seems kind of redundant with both the fudge and the chocolate train.

    I heard this in the mid-fifties in Chicago.
