From at least as far back as the early 1960s, see if you can sort this out:
11 was 1
racehorse
22 was 12.
1111
race,
22112!
EDIT: as suggested by Paul, let's have PM answers

We had four interpretations of the little ditty.
Kevin Farnell, PaulK, Brian (Fly Texas) and Joe (Airboatr)
Basically, for those who weren't in the four:
WunWun was one racehorse.
Tutu was one, too.
Wunwun won one race,
Tutu won one, too!
I first saw it in my sixteen year old girlfriend's autograph book.
It's OK, I was 18 at the time, and we later married.
The awards have come off the factory floor.
The blokes who brought them in to me said "Here's your Smartarse badges."
I asked the drawing office what the letters stood for, and they said "Superior Academic" of course.
I'll leave it to you to decide
