I would have never known this if I was not a member of this forum, because here is where I learned that the "twoilet" is called a "loo" over there in Europe...so thus the childhood nursery song...

Flies in the Buttermilk, skip to my loo!
Flies in the Buttermilk, skip to my loo!
Flies in the Buttermilk, skip to my loo!
Skip to the loo, my darling!

The buttermilk is old or nasty, and has given the singer diarreah!!

As a child or an adult...most Americans that I know would never have wondered what a "loo" was....it does not sound like anything, so we ignore that word in the song as a non-word.

ROFL!!!
