Peter's Flowing Stream

Oh, I went to Peter’s flowing stream
Where the water’s so good
And I heard there the cuckoo
As he sang from the wood.

Chorus: Hold-di-ah....
Hold-di-ra kiki, a hol-di rah cuckoo (cuckoo) (snap fingers too)
Hold-di-ra kiki, a hol-di rah cuckoo (cuckoo)
Hold-di-ra kiki, a hol-di rah cuckoo (cuckoo)
Hold-di-ra kiki, a oh!

After Easter comes sunny days
That will melt all the snow.
Then I’ll marry my maiden fair
We’ll be happy I know.

When I marry my maiden fair
What more can I desire?
But a home for her tending
And some wood for the fire.

Oh How Lovely

Oh how lovely is the evening, is the evening
When the bells are sweetly ringing sweetly ringing
Ding dong Ding dong Ding dong

O wie wohl ist mir am abend mir am abend
Wenn zuruck die Glocken laeuten Glocken laeuten
Bim bam, Bim bam, Bim bam


Can be sung in parts as a round

Mr Moon

Mr Moon Mr Moon go back to your bed
The sun is still in the sky
Go back to your bed and cover up your head
And wait till the night draws nigh

Twas on a summer’s evening
We walked the whole night through
When suddenly we heard it
The gentle soft cuckoo

Cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo, cuckoo,

Can be sung as is or three people can have a different part and they can be sung together.

Mariah

Away out west they’ve got a name
For wind and rain and fire.
The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe,
And they call the wind Mariah.

Mariah blows the stars around
And sets the clouds to flying
Mariah makes the mountains sound,
Like folks are up there dyin’.

Mariah ... Mariah ... They call the wind Mariah.

Before I knew Mariah’s name,
And heard her wailin’ whinin;,
I had a girl and she had me,
And the sun was always shining.

And then one day I left my gal
I left her far behind me,
And now I’m lost, so doggone lost
Not even God can find me.

Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah.

Away out west they have a name,
For wind and rain and fire.
But when you’re lost and all alone,
Where there ain’t no name for lonely.

For I’m a lost and lonely man,
Without a star to guide me,
Mariah, blow my love to me,
For I need here beside me.

Mariah, Mariah, they call the wind Mariah.

Home on the Range

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
And the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light from the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free
The breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

Oh, I love those wild flow'rs in this dear land of ours
The curlew, I love to hear scream
And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks
That graze on the mountaintops green

Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

I know a place

I know a place where no one ever goes
There’s peace and quiet beauty and repose
It’s hidden in the valley beside a mountain stream
And lying there beside it I find that I can dream
Only of things of beauty to the eyes;
Snow-capped mountains rising to the sky.
Now I know that God made this place for me


I can’t imagine myself as in a dream
Climbing a mountain by a small ravine
The beauty of this peace and quiet always shall remain
And every place a heaven each and every day
Oh how I wish I never had to leave
All my life such Beauty to receive
Now I know that God had made this place for me,
Of yes, for me.

From Charlotte's Web

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life’s eternal rhyme
Howe very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father Time

He turns the seasons around
And so she changes her gown
But they always look in their prime
They go on dancing their dance
Of everlasting romance
Mother Earth and Father Time

The summer larks return to sing
Oh what a gift they give
Then autumn days grow short and cold
Oh what a joy to live

How very special are we
For just a moment to be
Part of life’s eternal rhyme
Howe very special are we
To have on our family tree
Mother Earth and Father Time

The Happy Wanderer

Chorus:
Val-der-ri, val-der-ra
Val-der-ri, val-der-ra ra ra ra ra ra
Val-der-ri, val-der-ra (the last line of the verse)

1. I love to go a-wandering along the mountain track
And as I go, I love to sing with my knapsack on my back

2. I love to wander by the stream that dances in the sun
So joyously it calls to me come join my happy song

3. I wave my hat to all I meet and they wave back at me
And blackbirds call so loud and clear from every greenwood tree

4. High overhead, the skylarks wing, they never rest at home.
But just like me, they love to sing, as o'er the world we roam.

5. Oh, may I go a-wandering until the day I die
And may I always laugh and sing beneath God's clear blue sky

It's time

It’s time for us to make our dreams come true
A guiding voice will tell us what to do
It’s the time to change ourselves and show the world
That we will care for me and we’ll lead them there

We’ll lead them to a place beyond the sea
A place of love where everyone is free
Don’t despair the path to happiness is wide
If we much change our ways call on God for our guide

March Songs of Nature

As I was walking on the beach one bright and sunny day,
I saw a great big wooden box floating in the bay.
I pulled it in, opened it up and much to my surprise,
I discovered a X...XX right before my eyes!
Oh! I discovered a X...XX right before my eyes!

I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a king,
And took it to a guy I knew who would buy most anything.
This is what he hollered at me as I walked into the shop...
Get out of here with that X...XX before I call a cop!
Oh! Get out of here with that X...XX before I call a cop!

I got right up and turned around running for my life.
Then I took it home with me to show it to my wife.
This is what she screamed at me as I walked into the door...
Get out of here with that X...XX and don't come back anymore!
Oh! Get out of here with that X...XX and don't come back anymore!

I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet
A hobo who was asking for a handout on the street.
He said he'd take most any old thing. He was a desperate man.
But when I showed him the X...XX he turned around and ran!
Oh! When I showed him the X...XX he turned around and ran!

The moral of the story is: if you're ever on the beach
And you should find a wooden box and it's within your reach.
Don't ever open it up my friend, that's my advice to you.
You'll never get rid of that X...XX no matter what you do!
Oh! You'll never get rid of that X...XX no matter what you do!

I wandered on for many years a victim of my fate
Until one day I came upon St. Peter at the gate
And when I tried to take it inside he told me where to go
Get out of here with that ! ! !, and take it down below
Oh get out of here with that ! ! !, and take it down below

Speaky Spikey

Speak to me love only speaky spikey spokey
Why is that tear on your cheeky chikey chokey
Give me the answer I seeky sikey sokey
Or I will jump into the creeky crikey crokey

To Market (sweet Betsy from Pike)

To market to market, went my brother Jim, When somebody threw a tomato at him. Now tomatoes are soft, and they don't bruise the skin, But this one killed Jim, it was wrapped in a tin.

Now Mary the milkmaid was milking the cow, The trouble with Mary, she didn't know how. Along came the farmer and gave her the sack, So she turned the cow over and poured the milk back.

I called on my girlfriend, her name was Miss Brown, She was having a bath and she couldn't come down, I said, "Slip on something, you'd better be quick." She slipped on the soap, and oh my was she quick.

I looked out my window too early one morn, And there was a tramp, he was chompin' the lawn. I said, "My young man, if you feel like a snack, The grass is much longer around at the back."

Old Banjo & Poor old Slave

Old Banjo
I used to play my old banjo
With whiskers on my knee
But now the days have come and gone
And no more used to me
Sing with double ee’s
Sing with ickity
Sing with double ee’s and ickity


Poor Old slave
The poor old slave has gone to rest
We know that he is free
His bones they lie disturb them not
Way down in Tennessee

Add double ee’s
Add iggity agg

Mrs Leary

One dark night
When we were all in bed
Mrs. O'Leary
Left the lantern in the shed

The cow kicked it over and
Winked her eyes and said,
"There’ll be a hot time
In the old town, tonight." Fire Fire Fire!

One night dark
In bed we all were in
Mrs. O'Leary
Left the shed the lantern in

The kick cowed it over and
Eyed her wink and said,
"There’ll be a time hot
In the town old, tonight." Ifer Ifer Ifer!

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt

John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt
That’s my name too!
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout
There goes John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!

Springtime in the Rockies

It was springtime in the Rockies
And the rain was falling fast
A barefooted tramp with boots on
Came slowly whizzing past

He went round a straight crooked corner
To see a dead donkey die
He took out a pistol to stab him
And shot himself in the eye

Midnight on the Ocean

Twas midnight on the ocean
Not a streetcar was in sight
The sun was shining brightly
It was raining all the night

Twas a summer’s day in winter
And the rain was snowing fast
As the barefoot girl with shoes on
Stood there sitting on the grass

Twas evening and the sunrise
Was just setting in the west
And the fishes in the treetops
Were all cuddled in their nests

As the wind was blowing bubbles
Lighting flashed from left to right
Everything that you could see
Was hidden out of sight

The boats sailed up the highway
For the bridges were all down
And the dogs barked from the rooftops
In that sad and silent town

Twas midnight on the ocean
Not a streetcar was in sight
The sun was shining brightly
It was raining all the night

One Bottle of Pop

One bottle of pop
Two bottle pop
Three bottle pop
Four bottle pop
Five bottle pop
Six bottle pop
Seven seven bottle pop

Don’t throw your junk in my backyard, my backyard, my backyard
Don’t throw your junk in my backyard, my backyard’s full!

Fish and chips and vinegar vinegar vinegar
Fish and chips and vinegar
Pepper pepper, pepper, salt

Man’s life’s a vapor

Man’s life’s a vapor full of woes
He cuts a caper down he goes
Down he down he down he down he down he goes

I’m Lovely

My nose is blue my teeth are green
My face is like a soup tureen
I look just like a lima bean
I’m very very lovely

My feet are far too short and long
My hands are left and right and wrong
My voice is like the hippo’s song
I’m very very very very very very lovely (almost spoken)

Skinamarink

Skinamerink a dink a dink skinamerink a doo
I love you (repeated two times)
Deed I do
I love you in the morning and in the afternoon
I love you in the evening and underneath the moon
Oh skinamarink a dink skinamerink a doo
I love you

O love you changes to I madly and passionately adore you

“ I barely tolerate you

“ I run as fast as I can the minute I see you

“ I wish I understood you

“ I wish I didn’t have to sit next to you

If All Of the Raindrops

1 If all of the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain it would be
I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide
That’s the weather for me oh baby
I wouldn’t care if the sun would never shine
I’d keep on wishing for raindrops all the time
If all of the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops
Oh what a rain it would be

2. If all of the snowflakes were Hershey bars and milk shakes
Oh what a snow it would be
I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide
That’s the weather for me oh baby
I wouldn’t care if the sun would never shine
I’d keep on wishing for snowflakes all the time
If all of the snowflakes were Hershey bars and milk shakes
Oh what a snow it would be

3. If all of the hailstones were lollipops and snow cones
Oh what a hail it would be
I’d stand outside with my mouth open wide
That’s the weather for me oh baby
I wouldn’t care if the sun would never shine
I’d keep on wishing for hailstones all the time
If all of the hailstones were lollipops and snow cones

My Gal’s a Corker

Chorus
My gal’s a corker, she’s a New Yorker
I’ll buy her anything to keep her in style

1. She’s got a pair of legs just like two whiskey kegs
Hot dog that’s where my money goes

2. She’s got a pair of lips just like potato chips
Hot dog that’s where my money goes

3. She’s got a pair of eyes just like two custard pies
4. She’s got a pair of hips just like two battle ships
5. She’s got a big red nose just like a cabbage rose
6. She’s got a painty chin just like a safety pin
7. She’s got a head of hair just like a grizzly bear

Crooked Man

There was a crooked man,
And he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence
Upon a crooked stile:
He bought a crooked cat,
Which caught a crooked mouse,
And they all lived together
In a crooked little house.

Ah ah oh no don’t let the rain come down (sing 3 times)
My roof’s got a whole in it and I might drown!

Skinniest Man

The Skinniest Man I ever saw he lived down in Hobokin
If I tell you how skinny he was you’ll say that I’m a jokin

For exercise he used to jump through the holes of a nutmeg grater
He was so skinny that his head looked like a sweet potater

When he went out a walkin he never went alone
For fear some mean old hungry dog would taken him for a bone

One starry night in the pale moonlight when the lamp was burning dimly
A bed bug got him by the seat of his pants and dragged him up the chimney

Oh Me Oh my!

You’d like to laugh to death, he fell through the hole in the seat of his pants
And choked himself to death.

Sweet Violets

SWEET VIOLETS
There once was a farmer who took a young miss
in back of the barn where he gave her a
Lecture 'bout horses and chickens and eggs.
And told her that she had such beautiful
Manners that suited a girl of her charms.
The girl that he wanted to take in his
Washing and ironing and then if she did,
they would get married and raise lots of

CHORUS
Sweet violets! Sweeter than the roses!
Covered all over from head to toe,
covered all over with sweet violets.

The girl told the farmer that he'd better stop.
She called her father and he called a
Taxi which got there before very long,
for someone was doing her little girl
Right for a change and so that's why he said,
"If you marry her son you're better off
"single, for it's always been my belief
"marriage will bring a man nothing but
CHORUS

The farmer decided to wed anyway
And started in planning for his wedding
Suit which he purchased for only one buck
Then he found out he was just out of
Money and so he was left in the lurch
Standing and waiting in front of the
End of this story which just goes to show
All a girl wants from a man is his
CHORUS

Gertie

Gertie ate some marmalade, and then she ate some jam,
Gertie ate some luncheon meat and then she ate some spam.
Gertie drank some lemonade and then some gingerale
And Gertie wondered what it was that made her look so pale.

Whoops, went the marmalade and whoops went the jam,
Whoops went the luncheon meat and whoops went the spam,
"Fizz" went the lemonade and "Pop" the gingerale
And Gertie knew just what it was that made her look so pale!

Peanut on a Railroad Track

Oh, a peanut sittin' on a railroad track, its heart was all a-flutter. Along came the choo choo train TOOT TOOT! Peanut butter.

A cow walked on the railroad track, the train was coming fast. The train got off the railroad track to let the cow go past!

A hen and a chicken went for a walk just to stretch their legs A motorcar came round the bend TOOT TOOT! Ham and eggs

Oh! the night was dark and dreary the air was full of sleet The old man stood out in the storm his shoes were full of feet

A doctor fell into a well and broke his collarbone. We think that he should tend the sick and leave the well alone.

A farmer slipped on the old barn roof when rotten boards gave way, And as he fell, he shrugged and said, "It's time to hit the hay."

Humpty Dumpty fell right down and landed on his head, So, all the horses and the men had scrambled eggs and bread.

A skinny lady took a bath, without telling a soul, And when she pulled out the plug, she went right down the hole.

Mosquito he fly high, mosquito he fly low, Old man mosquito he lit on me, he ain't a-gonna fly no more.

I went to my girlfriend, a pleasure I was seeking, I missed her lips and kissed her nose, and the gosh darn thing was leaking.

A golf ball sailin' thru the air whizzed by a man a hummin' He heard a caddy holler, "Fore!" an' he thought three more were comin'

When boating, never quarrel for you'll find, without a doubt A boat is not the proper place to have a falling out

"The hot chocolate is exhausted, Sir" the diner was advised Says he, "It's been so weak of late I'm really not surprised"

Said baby tern to mother tern "Can I have a brother" "Yes" said mom to baby tern "One good tern deserves another"

There's a gal up in the hills she's awfully shy and meek She undresses in the dark because the mountains peak

Oh I wish

Prune Song

No matter how young a prune may be
He's always full of wrinkles
A baby prune is like his Dad
But he ain’t wrinkled but not quite so bad
We have wrinkles on our face
But a prune has wrinkles all over the place.
No matter how young a prune may be
He’s always full of wrinkles

Same song second verse, a little bit louder and a whole lot worse

Same song third verse, a little bit louder and even worse
(but the last line you sing below)
“He’s always getting stewed”

Mrs Murphy's Chowder

Won't ya bring back, won't ya bring back
Mrs. Murphy's chowder.
It was tuneful. Every spoonful
Made ya yodel louder!
After dinner Uncle Ben
Used to fill his fountain pen
From a plate of Mrs. Murphy's chowder.

CHORUS:
There was ice cream, cold cream, benzine, gasoline,
Soup greens, string beans floating all around.
Sponge cake, beef steak, mistake, stomach ache,
Cream puffs, ear muffs, many to be found.
Silk hats, door mats, bed slats, Democrats,
Cow bells, door bells beckon you to dine.
Meat balls, fish balls, moth balls, cannon balls,
Come on in, the chowder's fine.

2) Won't ya bring back, won't ya bring back
Mrs. Murphy's chowder.
From each helping you'll be yelping
For an Alka-seltzer
If they had some where you are
You might find a trolley car
In a plate of Mrs. Murphy's chowder.
(CHORUS)

3) Won't ya bring back, won't ya bring back
Mrs. Murphy's chowder.
You can pack it. You can stack it
All around the larder.
My old horse died the other day.
He disappeared right away
In a plate of Mrs. Murphy's chowder

Michael Finnegan

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He had whiskers on his chinnegan
They fell out and then grew in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He went fishing with a pinnegan
Caught a fish and dropped it in again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again.

There was an old man named Michael Finnegan
He grew fat and then grew thin again
Then he died and had to begin again
Poor old Michael Finnegan
Begin again

MacTavish

Oh MacTavish is dead and his brother don’t know
His brother is dead and MacTavish don’t know it
They’re both of them dead and in the same bed
And neither one knows that the other is dead!

Limmerick Song

Chorus
Aye-aye-aye-aye,
In China they never grow chilly
So sing me another verse
That's worse than the first verse
Make sure that it's foolish and silly.

A canner exceedingly canny
One morning remarked to his granny,
"A canner can can anything that he can,
But a canner can't can a can, can he?"

A tutor who tooted the flute
Tried to tutor two tooters to toot
Said the two to the tutor,
"Is it tougher to toot
Or to tutor two tooters to toot?"

A certain young fellow named Beebee
Wished to marry a lady named Phoebe
"But," he said, "I must see
What the minister's fee be,
Before Phoebe be Phoebe Beebee."

There was an old man from Peru Who dreamed he was eating his shoe When he awoke in a fright in the dark of the night He found it was perfectly true

There once was a man from Calcutta Who spoke with a terrible stutter At breakfast he said,
“Give me b b b bread and b b b butter.”

"Now the Vicar is quicker,
And thicker, and slicker,
And two inches longer than you

There once was a man from the south of France,
Who spoke with a great deal of arrogance;
'Til head over heel, he slipped on a peel
And crowds gathered 'round as he lost his pants.

There once was a little pet octopus,
Who fell on a plate of asparagus;
It splashed on the chest of a prime dinner guest,
And the owner thought it was hilarious.

There once was a long legged spider,
That lived in a bottle of cider;
Until a lady at afternoon tea,
Drank some now he lives inside of her.

There once was a giant of an elephant,
Who wanted to look cute and elegant;
At a big fashion show, she bought a pink bow,
And now she goes places where others can't.

There once was a grouchy old billygoat,
Who had a big bullfrog stuck in his throat;
When the frog struggled free, the goat screamed with glee,
That he could at last sing the sweetest note.

There was a young lady named Bright
Who traveled much faster than light
She started one day in a relative way
And returned on the previous night

There was an old man from Heath
Who sat on his set of false teeth
Said he, with a start, "Well bless my heart
I've bitten myself underneath"

There's a curious fellow named Ty
Who was baked by mistake in a pie
To the household¹s disgust
He emerged through the crust
And exclaimed with a yawn, 'Where am I?'

There was an old lady from Flynn
Who grew so exceedingly thin
That when she essayed to drink lemonade
She slid down the straw and fell in

There was a nice woman named Anne
Whose limericks never would scan
When told this was so,
She said, "Yes, I know,
But I always try to get as many syllables into the last line as I possibly can."

I'm a Nut

I'm a little coconut
sitting on my coco-bum
everybody steps on me
just to see how cracked I'll be

(chorus)
I'm a nut BOOM-BOOM
I'm a nut BOOM-BOOM
I'm a nut I'm a nut I'm crazy

I'm an old pile of tin
no one knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board
I'm a Chevy not Ford!

Chorus
I'm a little acorn round, Lying on the cold cold ground, Somebody came and stepped on me,
That is why I'm cracked you see,

Pepsi Cola came to town
Coca-Cola shot him down
Dr. Pepper fixed him up
Now we all drink 7UP

Chorus

7UP caught the flu
now we all drink Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew caught it too
now we don't know what to do

The Movies

I went to the movies tomorrow
I took a front seat in the back
I fell from the floor to the balcony
And broke a front bone in my back

I said to the lady behind me
I cannot see over your hat
I phoned for a taxi and walked it
And that’s why I never came back

God Bless

God bless my under wear, my only pair
Stand beside them and guide them
Through the wash and the wear and the tear.
Through the washer and the dryer
Or the clothesline, back to me
Oh, God bless my underwear, my only pair
God bless my underwear, my only pair.

Down by the Bay

Down by the bay where the watermelons grow
Back to my home I dare not go
For if I do my mother will say
"Did you ever see a bear in pink underwear
Down by the bay?"

Down by the bay where the watermelons grow

Do your ears hang low

Do your ears hang low?
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?
Can you throw them o'er your shoulder
Like a Continental Soldier?
Do your ears hang low?

Do your ears hang high?
Do they reach up to the sky?
Do they wrinkle when they're wet?
Do they straighten when they're dry?
Can you wave them at your neighbor
With an element of flavor?
Do your ears hang high?

Do your ears hang wide?
Do they flap from side to side?
Do they wave in the breeze
From the slightest little sneeze?
Can you soar above the nation
With a feeling of elevation?
Do your ears hang wide?

Do your ears fall off
When you sneeze or when you cough?
Do they wind up in the trough?
When you’re slopping up the hogs,
Can you stick them in your pocket
Just like Davy Crocket?
Do your ears fall off?

Do your ears flip-flop?
Can you use them for a mop?
Are they stringy at the bottom?
Are they curly at the top?
Can you use them for a swatter?
Can you use them for a blotter?
Do your ears flip-flop?

Do your ears stick out?
Do they nearly reach your snout?
Can you squish them farther in?
Can you push them farther out?
Do they hang out there?
Just a floppin’ in the air?
Do your ears stick out?


Do your ears hang askew?
Can you use one stirring stew,
While the other’s picking berries,
Or making mountain dew?
Can you hold an elevator, while you signal to a waiter?
Do your ears hang askew?

Do your eyeballs droop?
Do they wobble in your soup?
Do they browse like a snoop?
Or hide behind a hoop?
Do they linger like a loop?
Or fall down when you stoop?
Do your eyeballs droop?

Do your eyes bug out?
Do they roll around your snout?
Do you go cross-eyed, when you’re looking for a trout?
Can you see your image clearer, without looking in the mirror?
Do your eyes bug out?

Does your nose hang down?
Does it drag upon the ground?
Does it come alert like a hound
Or bounce up at every sound?
Does it stick up like a mound?
Or is it barely found?
Does your nose hang down?

Boom! Boom! Ain't it Great to Be Crazy

CHORUS:
Boom! Boom! Ain't it great to be crazy?
Boom! Boom! Ain't it great to be crazy?
Silly and foolish all day long.
Boom! Boom! Ain't it great to be crazy!

A horse and a flea and three blind mice
Sat on a curbstone shooting dice
The horse he slipped and fell on the flea
"Whoops," said the flea, "There's a horsie on me!

Way down south where bananas grow
A mouse stepped on an elephant's toe
The elephant cried, with tears in his eyes,
Why don't you pick on someone your own size?
CHORUS

Way up north where there's ice and snow
There lived a penguin by the name of Joe
He got so tired of black and white
He wore pink pajamas to the party last night!
CHORUS

A man bought a pair of combination underwear
Guaranteed not to rip or tear
He wore it nine months without exaggeration
He couldn't get it off 'cuz he forgot the combination!
CHORUS

Eli, Eli had some socks
A dollar a pair and a nickel a box
The more you wear 'em the better they get
And you put 'em in the water and they don't get wet!

Called myself on the telephone
Just to hear that golden tone
Asked myself out for a date
Said be ready 'bout half-past eight!

Took myself to the picture show
Sat myself on the very last row
Wrapped my arms around my waist
Got so fresh I slapped my face!

Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy?
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy?
Silly and Foolish all day long
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy!

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear,
And Fuzzy Wuzzy cut his hair.
So, Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn't fuzzy.
No, by Jove, he wasn't, was he?

Silly and Foolish all day long
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy!

I take a swim in my swimming pool.
I jump from the board 'cause that's the rule.
I hit my head on cement and mortar.
Forgot to look - there was no water.

Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy?
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy?
Silly and Foolish all day long
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy!

That one-eared cat who used to sit
Watching Grandma rock and knit
Swallowed a ball of bright red yarn,
And out came kittens with red sweaters on.

Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy?
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy?
Silly and Foolish all day long
Boom Boom, ain't it great to be Crazy!

Once I had a little dog and all she ate was cans And when those puppies came they came in Ford sedans!
When Mary had a little lamb the doctor was surprised
When Old Mac Donald had a farm the doctor nearly died!

Boogie-Woogie Washer Woman
Down in the jungle where nobody goes
There's a boogie woogie washer woman washin' her clothes

It Ain't gona rain no more

Chorus
Oh, it ain't gonna rain no more, no more
It ain't gonna rain no more
How in the heck can I wash around my neck
if it ain't gonna rain no more

A bum sat by the sewer
And by the sewer he died
And at the coroners inquest
They called it 'sewer side'

My father is a butcher
My mother is a cook
And I'm the little hot-dog
With the candy that I took

My father built a chimney
He built it up so high
He had to take it down each night
To let the moon go by.

My daddy is a doctor,
My mommy is a nurse,
And I'm the little needle
That gets you where it hurts.

Oh I had a cat and I named him Tom
Let him out one day
A big dog chased him down the street
And Tom cat ran away

Tom came back big and fat
How that cat did purr
Now how on earth could Tom give birth
I guess that ‘he’s” a her!

Made a garden on my roof
Weeded every day
Prayed for rain but when it came
It washed my roof away

Oh it ain’t gona rain no more no more
Oh it ain’t gona rain no more
How in the deuce can I cook my goose
When it ain’t gona rain no more?

An apple sat on the railroad track, feeling very cross
Along came the 5:15; Toot! Toot! Applesauce!

Agdalena, Magdalena

Agdalena, Magdalena, Hootentimer, Potentimer
Hogan, Logan, Pogan was her name.

She had twenty hairs on the top of her head
Ten were alive and ten were dead. Refrain

She had two eyes in her head
one was green and the other was red. Refrain

She had two teeth in her mouth
one pointed north and the other pointed south. Refrain

Her nose was so long so when she sneezed
It got caught in between her knees.

Her ears stuck out like the sails of a boat
Her Adam’s apple wandered up and down her throat.

She had a nose as long as a hose
It curled at the end and was red like a rose

She had two hands on the ends of her arms
One rang bells and the other rang charms!

She had two knees in the middle of her legs,
One liked bacon and the other liked eggs!

Her feet were flat as bathroom mats
I forgot to ask how they got like that.

Those two feet were sized forty-four and a half,
One took a shower and the other took a bath!

She loved to polish her fingernails
She bought her polish in ten gallon pails.

Her head was made out of solid oak
The language that she spoke was an awful joke

A ten-ton truck hit poor Magdalena The old truck driver had to get a new machina!

She had two kids just the other day
They took one look and had to run away!

Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman sat beside the billabong,
Under the shade of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Down came a jumbuck to drink beside the billabong
Up jumped the swagman and seized him with glee
And he sang as he tucked jumbuck in his tuckerbag
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up came the squatter, riding on his thoroughbred,
Down came the troopers, one, two, three.
"Where's the jolly jumbuck you've got in your tuckerbag?
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me

Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me
And he sang as he sat and waited by the billabong
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Up jumped the swagman and plunged into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive," cried he
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong,
You'll come a waltzing matilda with me.

Unicorn

The Unicorn
A long time ago when the earth was green
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free when the earth was being born
But the loveliest of them all was the Unicorn

There were green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpy-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
The loveliest of them all was the Unicorn

Now the people were all sinning and it gave God pain
And he said, "Stand back, I'm going to make it rain.
Brother Noah I'll tell you what to do, build me a floating zoo,
Take some of those green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpy-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants but sure as you're born
Please don't you forget my Unicorn!”

Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished making the Ark just as the rain started falling,
Noah called them out as they went through,
"We’ve got...Green alligators and long-necked geese some humpy-backed
Camels and some chimpanzees some cats and rats and elephants
But God I'm forlorn I just can't see any Unicorn

Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
Those unicorns were hiding and playing silly games
They were kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh, those silly Unicorn
There were green alligators and long-necked geese some humpy-backed camels
And some chimpanzees Noah cried, "Close the door 'cuz the rain is pouring
We just can't wait for those Unicorn."

The Ark started moving it drifted with the tide
Unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
The waters came down and sort of floated them away
That's why you've never seen a Unicorn to this very day
You'll see some green alligators and long-necked geese some humpy-backed
Camels and some chimpanzees some cats and rats and elephants
But as sure as you're born you won’t ever see any Unicorn

Tie me Kangaroo down

Tie me Kangaroo down

The Bear

The Other Day (I Met a Bear)
The other day [echo: the other day]
I met a bear [I met a bear]
Up in the woods [up in the woods]
Away up there [away up there]
The other day I met a bear, up in the woods away up there

He looked at me
I looked at him
He sized up me
I sized up him
He looked at me, I looked at him. He sized up me, I sized up him.

He said to me
Why don't you run?
I see you ain't
Got any gun
He said to me why don't you run? I see you ain't got any gun

And so I ran
Away from there
And right behind
Me was that bear!
And so I ran away from there, and right behind me was that bear!

And then a tree
That I did spy
Its lowest branch
Was ten feet high
And then a tree that I did spy: its lowest branch was ten feet high

And so I leapt
Into the air
And missed that branch
Away up there
And so I leapt into the air, and missed that branch away up there

Now, don't you fret
And don't you frown
I caught that branch
On the way back down
Now, don't you fret and don't you frown -- I caught that branch on the way back down

That is the end
There ain't no more
Until I meet
That bear once more
That is the end, there ain't no more, until I meet that bear once more

Sarah the Whale

Sarah the Whale
In Frisco town there lived a whale
They fed her peanuts by the pail
And washtubs and bathtubs
And sailboats and schooners
Her name is Sarah and she's a peach
But don't put food within her reach
Or babies, or nursemaids
Or chocolate ice cream sodas
She loves to smile and when she smiles
You can see her teeth for miles and miles
And her tonsils and her spare ribs
And things too fierce to mention
Now what can you do in a case like that
There's nothing to do but sit on your hat
Or your toothbrush, or your best friend
Or anything else that's helpless

Puff the Magic Dragon

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei,
Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
and brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff.

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei,

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail,
Jackie kept a lookout perch on PUFF's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flags when Puff roared out his name.

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant strings make way for other toys.
One great night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more
And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow - green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his lifelong friend Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon, sadly slipped into his cave.

Oh, Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Hanalei...

Pop Goes the Weasel

All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop -- goes the weasel!
Johnny's got the whooping cough and
Mary's got the measles
That's the way the money goes
Pop -- goes the weasel!

A penny for a spool of thread
A penny for a needle
That's the way the money goes
Pop -- goes the weasel!
You may try to sew and sew
And never make anything regal
So roll it up and let it go
Pop -- goes the weasel!

A painter would his lover to paint
He stood before the easel
The monkey jumped all over the paint
Pop -- goes the weasel!
When his sweetheart she did laugh
His temper got so lethal
He tore the painting up in half
Pop -- goes the weasel!

My son and I went to the fair
We saw a lot of people
We spent a lot of money there
Pop -- goes the weasel!
I got sick from all the sun
My sonny boy got the measles
Still we had a lot of fun
Pop -- goes the weasel!

I climbed up and down the coast
To find a golden eagle
I climbed the rocks and thought I was close
Pop -- goes the weasel!
But, alas, I lost my way
Saw nothing but a seagull
I tore my pants and killed the day
Pop -- goes the weasel!

I went to the grocery store
I thought a little cheese'll
Be good to catch a mouse on the floor
Pop -- goes the weasel!
But the mouse was very bright
He wasn't a mouse to wheedle
He took the cheese and said "Good night"
Pop -- goes the weasel!

Up and down the City Road
In and out the Eagle
That's the way the money goes
Pop -- goes the weasel!
Half a pound of tuppenny rice
Half a pound of treacle
Mix it up and make it nice
Pop -- goes the weasel!

Every night when I go out
The monkey's on the table
Take a stick and knock it off
Pop -- goes the weasel!
Put some pepper on its nose
And you'll make it sneeze-l
Catch it fast before it snaps --
Pop -- goes the weasel!

A penny for a cotton ball
A penny for a needle
That's the way the money goes
Pop -- goes the weasel!
If you want to buy a pig
Buy a pig with hairs on
Every hair a penny a pair
Pop -- goes the weasel!

All around the cobbler's bench
The monkey chased the weasel
The monkey thought 'twas all in fun
Pop -- goes the weasel!
I've no time to wait and sigh
I've no time to tease-l
Kiss me quick -- I'm off -- goodbye!
Pop -- goes the weasel!

Pale Faced Polar

Way up North, where there's ice and snow,
Where the temperature drops to 40 below,
Who's the friendliest bear up there?
It's Percy, the Pale Face Polar Bear.

He sleeps all day, and then at night,
He catches fish by the pale moonlight,
He has no worries and he has no cares,
He's Percy, the Pale Face Polar Bear.

Then one day, the ranger came,
And grabbed poor Percy by the snout,
He put him in a great big cage,
And he howled and he growled,
but he couldn't get out.

Now poor Percy's at the zoo,
And the funny thing is,
He likes it, too,
Because he met his girlfriend there,
And she loves,
Percy, the Pale Face Polar Bear.

Who?
Percy, the Pale Face Polar Bear.

On Mules

On mules we find two legs behind
And two we find before
We stand behind before we find
What the two behind be for
When we’re behind the two behind
We find what these be for
So stand before the two behind
Behind the two before

Monkey to the Chimp

Way down in the Congoland
Lived a happy chimpanzee.
She loved a monkey with long tail
(Oh, how she loved him!)
Each night he would find her there,
Swinging in the cocoanut tree,
And the monkey gay,
At the break of day,
Loved to hear his Chimpie say:

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Chimpie to the Monk,
"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Monkey to the Chimp.
All night long they'd chatter away,
All day long there were happy and gay,
Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Means "Monk, I love but you."
"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too."
Then the big baboon one night in June,
He married them and very soon,
They went upon their aba, daba honeymoon.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Chimpie to the Monk,
"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Monkey to the Chimp.
All night long they'd chatter away,
All day long there were happy and gay,
Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Means "Monk, I love but you."
"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too."
One night they were made man and wife,
And now they cry, "This is the life,"
Since they came from their aba, daba honeymoon.

Well, you should have heard that band
Play upon their wedding day,
Each Chimp and Monkey had nutshells
(Oh, how they played them)
And now it is ev'ry night,
High up in the cocoanut tree.
It's the same old thing,
With the same old swing,
When the Monk and Chimpie sing:

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Chimpie to the Monk,
"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Monkey to the Chimp.
All night long they'd chatter away,
All day long there were happy and gay,
Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Means "Monk, I love but you."
"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too."
Then the big baboon one night in June,
He married them and very soon,
They went upon their aba, daba honeymoon.

"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Chimpie to the Monk,
"Baba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Said the Monkey to the Chimp.
All night long they'd chatter away,
All day long there were happy and gay,
Swinging and singing in their hunky-tonkey way.
"Aba, daba, daba, daba, daba, daba, dab,"
Means "Monk, I love but you."
"Baba, daba, dab," in monkey talk
Means "Chimp, I love you, too."
One night they were made man and wife,
And now they cry, "This is the life,"
Since they came from their aba, daba honeymoon.

Lions & Tigers

Lions and Tigers and Bears
(Tune: When Johnny Comes Marching Home)
When lions are roaming on the plain, hurrah, hurrah
When lions are roaming on the plain, hurrah, hurrah
When lions are roaming on the plain
we fall on our knees and pray for rain
And we all go running up to the hills to get out of their way
Hey, hey, hey

When tigers go stalking in the wood . . . 3x
All creatures do what they know they should

When bears are growling loud and long . . . 3x
Everyone flees but the young and the strong

When rhinos go marching to the lake . . . 3x
Trees do bend and the ground does shake

Lion hunt

GOIN ON A LION HUNT

Goin on a lion hunt
I ain’t scared
Got my gun by my side
And bullets too!

Comin to some grass
Can’t go over it
Can’t go under it
Gotta go through it!

Comin to a tree
Can’t go under it
Can’t go around it
Gotta go up it!

Comin to a bridge
Can’t go beside it
Can’t go down it
Gotta go over it!

Comin to an outhouse
Can’t go over it
Don’t wanna go under it
Gotta go around it!

Comin to a cave
It’s dark in this cave
There’s something furry in here
There’s two eyes
And a wet nose
It’s a bear!

Leapfrog

One hedgehog edged up the hedge as the other hedgehog edged down,
One hedgehog edged up the hedge as the other hedgehog edged down,
One hedgehog edged up the hedge as the other hedgehog edged down,
As one hedgehog edged up the hedge and the other hedgehog edged down :

Chorus : They were only playing leapfrog,
They were only playing leapfrog,
They were only playing leapfrog
As one hedgehog edged up the hedge
And the other hedgehog edged down.

A spider espied a spider astride another spider's back ...Chorus

One slow worm slid up the sluice as another slow worm slid down ...Chorus
One pink porpoise popped up the pole as another pink porpoise popped down ...Chorus
One fat flea flew up the flue as another fat flea flew down ...Chorus
Chorus : They were only playing leapfrog,
They were only playing leapfrog,
They were only playing leapfrog
As one fat flea flew up the flue
And another fat flea flew down

Kookaburro

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must be

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree,
With a bellyache as you can see,
Ha, Kookaburra, Ha, Kookaburra,
You didn't save any for me!

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That's not a monkey that's me

Kookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
Oh how life can be

Kookaburro sits on an electric wire
Jumping up and down cuz his rump’s on fire
Fry Kookaburro Fry Kookaburro
Tasty you will be!

Kookaburra sits on the old worn trail,
Pulling all the splinters from his tail,
Ouch, Kookaburra, ouch, Kookaburra,
Sore your tail must be!

Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
He fell down and broke his knee
Poor Kookaburra! Poor Kookaburra!
Glad it wasn't me!

Kookaburra sits on the railroad tracks,
Better get off or you'll be flat,
Run kookaburra, run kookaburra,
UhOh! Watch out! SPLAT!

Keeper would a hunting go

The keeper would a hunting go
And under his cloak he carried a bow
All for to shoot a merry little doe
Among the leaves so green, O.

(Chorus:)
Jackie boy! (Master!) Sing ye well! (Very well!)
Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green, O
To my hey down down (To my ho down down )
Hey down (Ho down) Derry derry down
Among the leaves so green, O

The first doe he shot at he missed;
The second doe he trimmed he kissed;
The third doe went where nobody wist
Among the leaves so green, O.

The fourth doe she did cross the plain,
The keeper fetched her back again.
Where she is now, she may remain,
Among the leaves so green, O.


The fifth doe she did cross the brook;
The keeper fetched her back with his crook;
Where she is now you may go and look
Among the leaves so green, O.

The sixth doe she ran over the plain;
But he with his hounds did turn her again,
And it's there he did hunt in a merry, merry vein
Among the leaves so green, 0.

LEADER: To Ma Hey down down!

GROUP: To Ma Ho down down!

LEADER: Hey down!

GROUP: Ho down!

ALL: Derry Derry Down Among the leaves so green-o!

Grizzly Bear

I'm a big grizzly bear
And what do I do?
I curl up and hibernate
The whole winter through.

When the warm sun in spring
Says "Jump out of bed!"
I get up and shake myself,
Then poke out my head.

After sleeping so long,
I'm hungry, it's true!
Better run when you see me,
Or I might eat you!

Donkey Riding

Donkey Riding
Chorus:
Hey ho, away we go donkey riding, donkey riding
Hey ho, away we go riding on a donkey
1. Were you ever in Quebec?
Stowing timber on the deck
Where there's a king with a golden crown
Riding on a donkey

2. Were you ever round the horn?
Where it's always fine and warm
To see the lion and the unicorn
Riding on a donkey

3. Were you ever in Cardiff Bay?
Where the folks all shout, "Hurray!"
Here comes John with his three months pay
Riding on a donkey

4. Were you ever in Timbucktoo?
Where the natives dress in blue
They come out to welcome you
Riding on a donkey

5. Were you ever in Ottawa?
Strangest place I ever saw
Where the mounties keep the law
Riding on a donkey

Dinosaur

Chorus
There’s a dinosaur knocking at my door
Knocking one two three
There’s a dinosaur knocking at my door
And he wants to play with me!

Knock knock who’s there? Tyron. Tyron who?
Tyronauraus Rex and I’m here to play with you!

So mother went out to town for the day
She never said that dinosaurs weren’t allowed to play

So I opened up the door and I said, “Come in.”
He wagged his tail and he gave me a grin.

He squeezed and he squeezed till he came right through
The door and the window and the front wall too!

Well he rubbed his tummy and he said, “Let’s eat.”
So I went into the kitchen to fix him up a treat.

I opened up the jar of crunchy peanut butter
He ate the jar and all and said, “I think I’ll have another!”

I turned around and found the whole refrigerator gone
He looked at me and burped and said, “Did I do something wrong?’

Well we started taking turns jumping on my parents bed
He only had a half turn then the bed was dead.

On the second jump his head went through the roof
He blinked his eyes and said, “Oops, I think I goofed!”

Suddenly I saw my mother coming through the door
Then I said, “Guess what? I’ve got a dinosaur!”

Cuddly Koalas

Cuddly Koalas
Cuddly koalas, cuddly koalas
Possums too, possums too
Wallabies and wombats, wallabies and wombats
Kangaroos, kangaroos.

Crocodile

She Sailed Away
She sailed away on a sunny summer day
on the back of a crocodile
"You see," said she.
"He's as tame as he can be;
I'll float him down the Nile."
but the croc winked his eye
as she waved them all good-bye,
wearing a happy smile
at the end of the ride,
[fast] the lady was inside and the smile was on the crocodile!

Climate

Climate
We sing of the polar bear,
Fearless and bold,
He never gets hot
And he never gets cold,
Because where he lives
Summer never occurs,
And the rest of the year
He wears plenty of furs.
Tooralee, Tooralay,
And the rest of the year
He wears plenty of furs.

The crocodile lives
In a tropical place,
And neither the cold
Nor the heat does he face,
Because in the winter
His summers begin,
And the rest of the year
He wears crocodile skin.
Tooralee, Tooralay,
And the rest of the year
He wears crocodile skin.

And then there's us humans
Who live in a clime
That calls for at least
Three full suits at a time;
A thick one and thin one
For cold days and hot,
And a medium-weight one
For days that are not.
Tooralee, Tooralay,
And a medium-weight one
For days that are not.

Bear Went Over the mountain

The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see

To see what he could see
To see what he could see
The bear went over the mountain
To see what he could see

The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see

Was all that he could see
Was all that he could see
The other side of the mountain
Was all that he could see.

Baby Beluga

Baby Beluga
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven about you, sea below,
Just a little white whale on the go.
Baby beluga, oh baby beluga,
Is the water warm?
Is your ma ma home with you, so happy.
Way down yonder where the dolphins play,
Where you dive and splash all day,
The waves roll in and the waves roll out,
See the water squirting out of your spout.
Baby beluga, oh baby beluga, sing your little song,
Sing for all your friends, we like to hear you.
When it's dark and you're home and fed,
Curling up snug in your waterbed.
The moon is shining and the stars are bright
Good night, little whale, goodnight.
Baby beluga, oh baby beluga, with tomorrow's sun,
Another day’s begun, you'll soon be waking.
Baby beluga in the deep blue sea,
Swim so wild and you swim so free.
Heaven about you, sea below, Just a little white whale on the go.

Animal Fair

We went to the animal fair,
The birds and the beasts were there,
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair.
The monkey fell out of his bunk (THUMP!)
And slid down the elephant's trunk, (WHEEE!)
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees
And what became of the monkey monkey monkey

Alligator

He's an alligator, he's an alligator
Nobody wants to swim with him
So I guess we'll see him later

I'm an alligator, I'm an alligator
Nobody wants to play with me
So I guess I'll see ya later

He's an alligator, he's an alligator
Nobody wants to play with him
So I guess we'll see him later

A Kangaroo Sat on An Oak

A kangaroo sat on an oak,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo,
Watching a tailor mend his coat,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo.

chorus: Kimi neero kiddy kum keero
Kimi neero kimo
Ba ba ba ba billy illy inkum
Inkum kiddy kum kimo.

Bring me my arrow and my bow,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo,
Till I go shoot that kangaroo,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo.

The old man fired; he missed his mark;
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo,
He shot the old sow through the heart,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo.

Bring me some 'lasses in a spoon,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo,
Till I go heal that old sow's wound,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo.

Oh, now the old sow's dead and gone,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo,
Her little ones go waddling on,
To my inkum kiddy kum kimo.
