Slime and snails or puppy dog’s tails
In the original Mother Goose printed in 1916, the phrase was “Snaps and snails, and puppy dog tails”. Sometimes “Snips and snails” is also seen. In the UK, the phrase is more commonly said to be”Slugs and snails, and puppy dogs’ tails”. Other common variations include “Snakes and snails”, “Spiders and snails”, and “Frogs and snails”. There are likely many different regional variations.
