The rhyme originated in the US and is mocking the much longer and often funny sounding northern European surnames. The surname Schmidt and the surname suffix Heimer are of German origin.

The song is sung in infinite repetition with each repeat sung quieter than the last except for the last verse which is shouted.

Often referred to as the " bus song "

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

his name is my name too

whenever we go out

the people always shout

there goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt.
