Say what?

Uma Joshi
yay yay yay
My mother told me
Sixty years ago
There came a lady
Knocking on the door
With an ooh, aah,
I want some pie
The pie is sweet
I want some meat
The meat is rough
I want to go by bus
The bus is full
I want to go by bull
The bull is fat
I want my money back

Does anyone remember the rest of this? And who the hell was this Uma Joshi anyway?

This is the version I remember learning in Goa...

Uma Joshi
Yay, yay, yay.
My mother told me
Twenty years ago-go-go,
There was an old woman
Who came knocking at the door.
Ooh, aah I want sambar,
Sambar is sweet
I want some meat.
The meat is rough,
I want to go by bus.
The bus is full,
I want to go by bull.
The bull is fat
I want my money back.
The money is green
I want some jelly beans.
The jelly beans are red
I want to go to bed.
Good Night
Statue...

SAMBHAR? what lies. I know:
the money is green,
i want a jelly bean (i used to say cherry bean, but when i heard jelly bean i thought it made more sense),
the jelly bean is red,
i want to go bed,
the bed sheet is white,
have a good goodnight.

I want some cherry bean,
the cherry is red,
I want to go to bed.

GOODNIGHT

Uma Joshi Yay yay yay

There came a lady knocking at the door
Saying Ooh Aah
I want some pah (pie)
The pie is sweet
I want some meat
The meat is rough
I wanna go by bus
The bus is full
I wanna ride a bull
The bull is fat
I want my money back
The money is green
I want some jelly beans (the jelly beans part is what I made up, I had no idea it was cherry beans)
The jelly beans are red
I want to go to bed (And from here it's completely different)
The bed is violet
I wanna sit in the toilet
The toilet is blue
I want some glue
The glue is pink
I want some ink
The ink is sticky
I wanna meet Mickey
The Mickey is yellow
I want some marshmallows
The marshmallows all fall
I wanna go to the mall
The mall is full
I wanna sit on the red bull
The red bull is angry
I want some candies
The candies are sour
I wanna go to Mars
Mars is white - We met in the night - In the night we had a fight
STATUE

I know it was kinda stupid n really long but thats what I used to play when I was small.
