My grandfather moved to the US from Holland in 1911. When I was a child he taught me a tongue twister, but I can barely remember it. It was about a family called the "Beeblebonzas" (my spelling, no clue how it's really spelled). It started out with "Hier hap hij de sleutel" (again my spelling, he didn't teach us Dutch, unfortunately). Does anybody who speaks Dutch recall the tongue twister and the full verse? I know it's old because a Dutch friend in college thought it was hilarious that I knew it because it was ancient history, Dutch-wise. My cousin's doing a genealogy project and he was asking me for any stories I could remember of him. Please?

Hier is de sleutel van de Biebelebonse berg.
Op de Biebelebonse berg staat een Biebelebons huis.
In dat Biebelebonse huis wonen Biebelebonse mensen,
En die Biebelebonse mensen hebben Biebelebonse kinderen,
En die Biebelebonse kinderen eten Biebelebonse pap,
Met een Biebelebonse lepel uit een Biebelebonse nap.
