Can Anyone Help with a Polish Song that Sounds Like “Vee Gee Mama”?

Karen wrote asking for help with a Polish song from her childhood. Here’s her email:

I am Polish but never learned the language although it was used all around me growing up.

My grandfather used to bounce me on his knee and sing a song. He passed in the 70’s. I remember the tune but the words are beyond me… If I give them to you phonetically, perhaps you would recognize them? I have no more Polish speaking family. Any help would be appreciated. The song keeps going around in my head. (It could well be just a piece of Nonsense!)

Vee gee mama
Vee gee mama
Yak tosh leh
Shish ke pano
Hopsu myo
Ah nya nye

I know it looks odd but that’s what is going around in my head… and it’s OK to laugh!

    Hey!
    I believe I can decipher some words, it could go like this:

    Widzi mama
    widzi mama
    jak to źle
    Szyszkę palą?
    ??
    A ja nie

    Unfortunately nothing remotely similar comes to my mind nor could I find anything on the internet. Maybe if you sent me a recording with the melody I could find something, as I have more of an ear for songs than a memory for words. You can find me on discord – nick is my name above and the number 4979
    Anyways, Merry Christmas – Wesołych Świat!
