Button Factory (My Name Is Joe)

Melody – Itself
Originally a less explicit camp song at least several decades old
https://youtu.be/mJhDbJZ2xi4?si=-F80Eqq3oGwLgARk

(Refrain:)
Hi, my name is Joe
And I work in a button factory
I’ve got a wife (“She’s a bitch!”)
And three kids (“They’re all brats!”)

(Alternate response: “One’s gay, that’s okay…”)
One day
My boss comes up to me and says,
“Joe!
Are you busy?”
I said, “No…”
They said, “Could you push a button with your…”

(RA picks person out from circle, who will name a
body part. Song repeats from beginning, while a
punching motion is made with said body part. At
the end of each verse, a new person/body part are
added until one of two things happens:
1) somebody selects the tongue as a body part;
the last chorus is chanted with tongue out, sounds
very silly… or
2) the combined button punching
motions/body parts become too spastic to
maintain. In either case, the last line is:)

…”Joe!
Are you busy?”
I said, “YES!”
