Hi everyone,

        I've heard from my good friend your group can find anything so I am
writing to you for help.
        I have a returning adult student that sings a little song about "Johnny
Ribeck" (I'm not sure if the spelling is correct.)  She learned it when she
was quite young and would like to know more about its origin and if there
are any more verses.  Her parents taught it to her and her siblings as a
lesson not to harm animals. Can anyone help?  The fist verse is:

Johnny, Johnny, why are you so mean?
I told you you'de be sorry for inventing that machine.
All the neighbors cats and dogs will never more be seen.
They'll all be grounded to sausages in Johnny Ribecks machine.

She can't remember the next verse.

I have exhausted all my library's resources and have searched on the
internet to no avail. Help, I am curious to find out what happens.
