Any time kids at my school were in a race to get somewhere, the winner would be taken down a peg with the following:
“First is the worst,
second’s the best
third is a nerd
in the polka dot dress”
A few years later, when my little sister learned it, her friends had changed the last couple of lines to “third is the BEST in the polka dot dress” (the fact that second was already the best didn’t bother her in the slightest, no matter what I said). The person who came in first would, before anyone could claim otherwise, recite the rhyme starting with “Zero’s the hero.” This line was unknown to me until my sister and her friends started using it.
She and her friends didn’t invent this, of course; even the “zero’s the hero” bit has been going around for years. The “third” in other versions was often “the hairy princess” or “the one with the hairy chest.”
Some appear to have gone even further, adding in “fourth is the king, fifth is the queen, sixth is the one in the washing machine. And, of course, there are LOTS of variations in the comments. Really, the comments to this one have gotten absolutely out of control.
As to how old it is, well… one version appears in a book of “New England Sayings”[1] from 1894, and in a magazine from 1879:
First’s the worse
second’s the same
last’s the best
of all the game
A similar rhyme is presented as an old saying in Faith Gartney’s Girlhood, an 1872 book in which a character complains that her sister “plagues” her with the rhyme, changing it up to make either the first or last be the best, depending on which of the two of them finishes dressing first.
However, in the voluminous comments to this entry, we can see that many variations became widely known in the English-speaking world, including variations about “the golden eagle” and “the hair princess” and various classifications that don’t even rhyme. Many of them never appeared in print, as far as I can tell. This is one that probably is strictly on the playground; many of the songs and rhymes on this site probably got started in the military or on college campuses and filtered down. Most of these variations were probably made up by kids and spread by kids, but spread internationally by word of mouth alone.
Many of the commentors declined to leave the date range / location where they heard their version, and aren’t that useful for research (some others are probably just making something up) (I do get a few people on this site who just reply by making up 20 rude “Obama” versions of any given rhyme). Sometimes on the site if I suspect someone is just mouthing off, or if they leave out the relevant info, I won’t publish the comment. This one, though, I just sort of let run loose.

my kids' version ends with

That's all i remember xD
NW Kent, UK, 1970s:
First the worst
Second the best
Third the golden eeeeeagle.
I don't know if there was more, or if I've only remembered that far. It certainly appears there should be more.
BTW "Eagle" was stretched out in it's first syllable.
Why a 'golden eagle' – is this some alchemical reference, or a reference to the gold eagle lectern in church?
1st is the worst
2nd is the best
3rd is the one with the hairy chest
4th is the one that GOD loves best

Surely it's the taking part that counts…
First the worst,

…

1st the worst
2nd the best
3rd the one with the hairy chest
4th the golden princess
forth was not the sexy coak it was the golden princess
doesent rhyme
This is how we did rhymed it:
First the worst, second the best, third the one with the hairy chest, fourth the one with the wedding dress, fifth the one with the treasure chest.
yeah, and um.. i'm 13, and cursing is dumb. and for a 12 year old, you're very rude and inappropriate.
Shut the fuck up
Well.. Different people have different personalities, if or if not they are affected by curse words or not its human nature
NO ITS FIRST ID THE WORST,SECOND IS THE BEST,THIRD IS THE ONE WITH THE GOLDEN CHEST AND ALSO SOMETIMES WE SAY FOURTH IS THE ONE WITH THE BALLERINA DRESS
stop swaring
Yeah, I'm 13, after a while, honestky, cursing isn't really cool, it's old and stale. Also I used to do it as…
zero the hero
first the worst
second the best
third the one with the hairy chest…
We never really went any higher than that… I was really lazy as a 7 year old, couldn't be bothered… |:0
Well, I learned it like this:
First is the worst
Second is the best
Third is the one with the treasure chest
Fourth is the one with the hairy chest
Fifth is the one who forgot to get dressed
Sixth is the cowboy heading west
Seventh is the taco with a lot of zest
Boy, there sure are many different variations on this rhyme, aren't there?

Oddly, this is the version we had in early-mid 90s doncaster, in northern england.
First is the worst, second is the same, third is the one with the disconnected brain.
NOOOOO!!!!!

15th the lean mean stupid green-bean
“10th the 10th?” Really? The 1st/2nd lines are a given, and the “Zero the hero” and, to a lesser extent, “‘[m]inus’ the highness” lines are pretty common. The 3rd line varies a lot, but the one in your version is fairly common. “4th the north” is obviously an extension of the numeral rhyme, and “5th the west” one of the cardinal direction theme– “6th etc.,” of course, being simply a made-up rhyme for that. The rest are mostly rhymes, with the exceptions of 11th (belated rhyme for 3rd/6th? Or just coincidence?) through 14th. “13th the unlucky” makes sense, and the other lines are simply inexplicable local variations. But, with all those designations, you couldn’t think of anything for 10th except itself?

I think that somepeople have gotit wrong but i personally think Jessica is da bomb was right unlike the rest of so deal with..ok!
HI EVERYONE
THANKS FOR COMMENTING I LOVE THEM ALL
KISSES TO YOU ALL LOVE YOU ALL
XOX0OX0OX0OX0OX
LEAVE MORE COMMENTS PLS
LOVE THE COMMENTS THEY ARE GREAT
SPOONS
I personally think Spoons are wrong and should be banned.
i personally think that you shouldnt express your opinions because it is innapropriate to my feelings.
and i do not respect that.
Well i think people should respect others opinions and deal with it as i prefer the fork…
its spikey and works well as a spoon too.
personally spoons freak me out. so why dont you respect others feelings and LOVEFORKS <3 hehehehehe
Well, im my opinion child, forks are very dangerous to my life as i have had very bad experiences with forks.
this i shall not explain as i might get too emotional and cry
and i am a man so i do not cry
sopoons are very much more smoother and fancy.
i will settle this
go onto my site and buy my toilets
No I prefer Public toilets as you get to express yourself more, also get to meet people who share the commonn interest of the public toilet.Look at the website attached to my name to keep sharing the interest. Even send it to your friends!
i like toilets

Mother of god the internet is depraved these days. I don't know why I'm even responding to this…But, to follow the format of all you other teens, I'm 17, and I think you are all taking this way too seriously. I think no one has a right to tell a kid that God doesn't exist. I think using curse words is what immature people use as a perceived shortcut to maturity. I think too many people use "Anonymous" as an excuse to be a bully. And I think no one will really care that I said any of this. So enjoy refuting this with a huge lack of logic.
I can't believe my version never showed up! First the worst, second the best, third the golden turd, fourth is the king of the north, and fifth… well fifth sucks. I think we had those as the names of our swings we wouod race out to get! Good times, good times..

Honestly, just reading these comments, I have to agree that there are so much versions. My little sister was telling my even littler sister that it was first is the worst, second is the best, and third is the one with a treasure chest. They were debating who they would rather be (first, second or last). But in my mind, I was like, who in the world made that up thought it made sense??? I thought it was something that was said to make people who weren't first feel better. Because face it, in the real world first is not the worst, (unless it is like the first who got killed and etc.[but in that perspective, why would the second be the best?]) One example is in a running race. In a race. it is obvious that the first person to win will get the trophy, therefore being the best AND getting the "treasure chest". (Why is the second the best anyways? How do you know the third is getting the treasure chest? How does this relate to the real world? [I doesn't in my perspective :P])

Age does not matter in this point. It does not COMPLETELY prove that you are wiser or mature. It has to come with experiences.
