Sun, 25 Sep 2005 01:17:00 +0100

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
It's a jolly good song and we'll sing it again

To market, to market went my Uncle Jim
When somebody threw a tomato at him
Tomatoes are usually wrapped in a skin
But this one was not it was wrapped in a tin

Singing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10...

There was a tramp all tattered and torn
Eating the grass upon my front lawn
I said "if you're hungry and in need of a snack,
The grass is much longer around at the back

Singing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10...

There was a milkmaid a milking a cow
Milking a cow, 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

Singing 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
It's a jolly good song but we've come to the end

Old Macdonald

Verse:

Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O!

Fat cow, thin cow, thin cow, fat cow,
Tall Cow, Short Cow, Short Cow, Tall Cow
Old MacDonald had a farm, E-I-E-I-O!

Chorus:

Oh way down south,
Oh way down south
where the watermelons grow
where the watermelons grow
Back to my home,
Back to my home,
I dare not go
I dare not go
For if I do,
For if I do,
my mother will say
what will she say?
Quick, Johnny get a gun theres a bear in the garden
Lying on its back with its belly in the sun

On top of Spagetti

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 00:50:00 +0100

On top of spaghetti
All covered in cheese
I lost my poor meatball
When somebody sneezed

It rolled off the table
And onto the floor
And then my poor meatball
It rolled out the door

It rolled down the garden
And under a bush
And then my poor meatball
Was nothing but mush

(moral)

If you have spaghetti
All covered in cheese
Hold onto your meatball
Cos someone might sneeze.

My Breakfast Lies Over The Ocean

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 00:37:00 +0100

My breakfast lies over the ocean,
My dinner lies over the sea,
My stomach is in a commotion,
Don't mention my supper to me.

Chorus Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me.

I really felt rotten this morning,
They tell me I really looked pale,
My stomach gave adequate warning,
To lean far out over the rail.

Chorus Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me.

The sound of a stomach in motion,
A murmuring noise inside me,
I looked down and there on the water,
Was breakfast and dinner and tea.

Chorus Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
O bring back my bucket to me.

Little Bunny Fru-Fru

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 00:33:00 +0100

hopping through the undergrowth,
picked up a field mouse and smacked it round the head
and along came the GOOD FAIRY,
and she said
"Little Bunny Fru-Fru,
I don't like your attitude,
Picking up a field mouse and smacking it round the head!
I'll give you 3 more chances,
otherwise I'll turn you into a GOON!"
...
And she turned him into a GOON!

And the moral of this story is

HARE today GOON tomorrow!!!!!

He Ain't Gonna Jump No More

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 00:12:00 +0100

There are many variations of this song - you may know a different version.

He jumped from forty thousand feet without a parachute,
He jumped from forty thousand feet without a parachute,
He jumped from forty thousand feet without a parachute,
And he ain't gonna jump no more

**Chorus : Glory, glory what a helluva way to die,
Glory glory, what a helluva way to die
Glory glory, what a helluva way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

They scraped him off the runway like a lump of strawberry jam,
They scraped him off the runway like a lump of strawberry jam,
They scraped him off the runway like a lump of strawberry jam ,
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

**Chorus : Glory, glory what a helluva way to die,
Hanging by your knickers from an airplane in the sky
Glory glory, what a helluva way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

They put him in an envelope and sent him home to Mum
They put him in an envelope and sent him home to Mum
They put him in an envelope and sent him home to Mum
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

**Chorus : Glory, glory what a helluva way to die,
Dangling by your laces while your boots are way up high
Glory glory, what a helluva way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

She put him on the mantelpiece for all his friends to see
She put him on the mantelpiece for all his friends to see
She put him on the mantelpiece for all his friends to see
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

**Chorus : Glory, glory what a helluva way to die,
With your kneecap up your nostril and your finger in your eye
Glory glory, what a helluva way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

The next day in the Naffy they had strawberry jam for tea
The next day in the Naffy they had strawberry jam for tea
The next day in the Naffy they had strawberry jam for tea
And he ain't gonna jump no more....

Glory, glory what a helluva way to die,
Swinging like a giant kite across the bright blue sky
Glory glory, what a helluva way to die
And he ain't gonna jump no more.

He Ain't Gonna Climb No More

Sun, 25 Sep 2005 00:12:00 +0100

This is a variation on the well known song - it is unsuitable for Beavers and Cubs because it has rude words in it.

Are you ready cried his second as he took his comfy seat
Our hero feebly answered as he clambered to his feet
The rock was wet and slippery, the climb was long and steep
And he ain't going to climb no more...

Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
With an ice axe up your a******e and a crampon in your eye
Glory, glory what a hell of a way to die
And he ain't going to climb no more.

He reached the final overhang before he fell I'm told
The rope was weak and rotten it was ten or twelve years old
It was frayed and it was tattered, it would never ever hold
And he ain't going to climb no more...

Glory, glory...

His face turned grey, his face turned green, he felt the sudden drop
He scraped his fingers to the bone as he vainly clutched at rock
I think he bounced just once or twice before the final shock!
And he ain't going to climb no more.

Glory, glory...

There was blood upon the hillside, there were brains upon the slope
Intestines were entwined amongst the pitons and the rope
He was squashed into his ebees like he was a telescope
And he ain't going to climb no more...

Glory, glory...

They scraped him from the corrie like a pound of strawberry jam
And telescoped his vertebrae into a billy can
They packed him in his rucksack and then sent him home to mum
And he ain't going to climb no mo-o-ore!

Grand Old Duke Of York

A well known song with some simple actionsThe grand old Duke of York,
He had ten thousand men.

And when they were down, they were down.
And when they were only half way up,
They were neither up nor down.
