Failure to correctly recite all of the lines compels a player to take a swig of whatever libation is being passed around (151 proof rum is particularly effective for this). Here's a similar list: A big fat hen a couple of ducks 3 brown bears 4 running hares 5 fat females sitting on a fence 6 Sicilian sailors sailing the seven seas 7 Simple Simons going to the fair 8 egotistical egoists echoing exotic ecstacies 9 Nubian nymphs nimbly nibbling gnats, nuts, and nicotine (There's no tenth line; players who make it this far must recite the following -- ) A fig plucker's son I'm not, A fig plucker's son I'll never be, But I'll pluck figs till the fig plucker's son Comes back to pluck figs for me.
