There's a Skeeter on My Peter

There's a Skeeter on My Peter

"There's a Skeeter on My Peter (Knock it Off)" is a well-known humorous song. It is sung to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It" or sometimes " She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain". The premise of this song is that the mosquito is on the singer's penis ("peter") and he would like someone to cause the insect to depart from his appendage. This song, like many in its genre, has frequently variable lyrics, including a tongue-in-cheek reference to handjobs or masturbation by substituting "knock it off" with "beat it off" or "whack it off".

Origins

This is known as a drinking song by Hash House Harriers and by rugby players. The "masturbation" version of the song is a standard in the act of musician/comedian John Valby. It has been commercially recorded by Valby and by an anonymous person on the 1960 LP "The Unexpurgated Folk Songs of Men". The earliest printed example of this song is found in the book "Parodology" (1927) where the melody is listed as an adaptation of the tune "Little Bit of Love".
