Disc 1: Silly Favorites

1. Kookaburra

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 gumdrops he can see
Stop, kookaburra, stop, kookaburra
Please save some for me

2. Duke of York

Oh the Grand Old Duke of York
He had 10,000 men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again

And when they were up they were up
And when they were down they were down
And when they were only halfway up
They were neither up nor down

3. DJ the Dinosaur

I am DJ, I am a dinosaur
Come with me
Get ready to explore
Listen how the music’s playing
Listen now to what I’m saying
Music’s here and magic’s near it’s time to start the day
So listen to the music play
Listen to the music play

My name’s DJ and you can guess the rest
Sing with me, ‘cause music is the best
I can sing like this for hours
Music gives me all my powers
Follow me and you will see the magic all around
Listen to the happy sound
Music makes the world
I must weight 5,000 pounds
I am DJ, I am a dinosaur

4. Animal Fair

I 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

You ought to have seen the monk
He jumped on the elephant’s trunk
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees
And what became of the monk, the monk, etc.

5. Billy Boy

Oh where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Oh where have you been, Charming Billy?
I have been to seek a wife
She’s the joy of my life
She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother.

Did she bid you to come in, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Did she bid you to come in, Charming Billy?
Yes, she bade me to come in
There’s a dimple in her chin
She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother.

Can she make a cherry pie, Billy Boy, Billy Boy?
Can she make a cherry pie, Charming Billy?
She can make a cherry pie
Quick’s a cat can wink her eye
She’s a young thing and cannot leave her mother.

6. John Brown’s Baby

John Brown's baby had a cold upon his chest
John Brown's baby had a cold upon his chest
John Brown's baby had a cold upon his chest
And they rubbed it in with camphorated oil.

… had a cold upon his chest
… had a cold upon his chest
… had a cold upon his chest
And they rubbed it in with camphorated oil.

… upon his chest
… upon his chest
… upon his chest
And they rubbed it in with camphorated oil. And they rubbed it in with camphorated oil.

…With camphorated oil.

7. Waltzing Matilda

Once a jolly swagman
Camped by a billabong,
Under the shade
Of a coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched
And he waited 'til his billy boiled
"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 watched
And he waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Down came a jumbuck
To drink at the billabong,
Up jumped the swagman
And grabbed him with glee,
And he sang as he shoved
That jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"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 shoved
That jumbuck in his tucker bag,
"You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me"

Up jumped the swagman,
Sprang into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me
Alive," said he,
And his ghost may be heard
As you pass by that billabong,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me.

Waltzing Matilda,
Waltzing Matilda
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me
And his ghost may be heard
As you pass by the billabong,
You'll come a-waltzing,
Matilda, with me You’ll come a-waltzing, Matilda, with me

8. Turkey in the Straw

As I was a-goin’ on down the road
With a tired team and a heavy load
I cracked my whip and the leader sprung
And I said ‘day-day’ to the wagon tongue

Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hay
Roll ‘em up and twist ‘em up a high tuck-a-haw
And hit ‘em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw

Went out to milk and I didn’t know how
I milked the goat instead of the cow
A monkey sittin’ on a pile of straw
A-winkin’ at his mother-in-law

Turkey in the straw
Turkey in the hay
Roll ‘em up and twist ‘em up a high tuck-a-haw
And hit ‘em up a tune called Turkey in the Straw

9. Over the River

Over the river and through the woods
To Grandmother’s house we go
The horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
Through white and drifting snow

Over the river and through the woods
Oh, how the wind does blow
It stings the toes and bites the nose
As over the ground we go

Over the river and through the woods
Trot fast, my dapple gray
Spring over the ground like a hunting hound
For this is Thanksgiving day

Over the river and through the woods
Now Grandmother's cap I spy
Hurrah for the fun! Is the pudding done?
Hurrah for the pumpkin pie!

10. While Strolling Through the Park

While strolling through the park one day
In the merry, merry month of May
I was taken by surprise
By a pair of roughish eyes
In a moment my poor heart was swept away
A smile was all she gave to me
We were happy as can be
I immediately raised my hat
And finally she remarked
I never shall forget that lovely afternoon
I met her at the fountain in the park

11. Scotland’s Burning

(Note: This song is sung as a round, 1x – unison, 2x 2 parts, interlude, 3x – 3 parts)
Scotland’s burning, Scotland’s Burning!
Look out, look out!
Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
Pour on water, pour on water!

12. My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

13. Farmer in the Dell

The farmer in the dell
The farmer in the dell
Hi-ho, the dairy-o
The farmer in the dell

The farmer takes a wife
The farmer takes a wife
Hi-ho, the dairy-o
The farmer takes a wife

The wife takes the child
The wife takes the child
Hi-ho, the dairy-o
The wife takes the child

The child takes the nurse

The cheese stands alone

Hi-ho, the dairy-o
The cheese stands alone

14. There’s a Hole in My Bucket

With a bucket, dear Henry,
Dear Henry, in the bucket.
But there's a hole in the bucket…

15. Cockles and Mussels

In Dublin’s fair city
Where girls are so pretty
It was I first met with sweet Molly Malone
She drove a wheelbarrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels
Alive, alive oh

Chorus
Alive, alive oh
Alive, alive oh
Crying cockles and mussels
Alive, alive oh

She was a fishmonger
But sure ‘twas no wonder
For so were her mother and father before
They drove their wheelbarrows
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels
Alive, alive oh
Chorus

She died of the fever
And nothing could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
Her ghost wheels a barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels
Alive, alive oh

See the little puffer-bellies all in a row
See the stationmaster turn the little handle

12. Man on the Flying Trapeze

Once I was happy,
But now I'm forlorn,
Like an old coat
That is tattered and torn;
Left in this wide world
To weep and to mourn,
Betrayed by a maid in her teens.

Now this girl that I loved,
She was handsome,
And I tried all I knew
Her to please,
But I never could please her
One quarter as well
As the man on the flying trapeze.

Oh, he flies through the air
With the greatest of ease
This daring young man
On the flying trapeze
His movements are graceful
All girls he does please
My love he has purloined away

Found a peanut just now
Just now, I found a peanut
Found a peanut, just now

Cracked it open, cracked it open
Cracked it open just now
Just now I cracked it open
Cracked it open just now

It was rotten, it was rotten
It was rotten just now
Just now it was rotten
It was rotten just now

Ate it anyway, ate it anyway
Ate it anyway just now
Just now I ate it anyway
Ate it anyway just now

Got sick, got sick,
got sick just now
Just now, I got sick,
Got sick just now

Called the Doctor, called the Doctor
Called the Doctor just now
Just now I called the Doctor
Called the Doctor just now

Died anyway, died anyway,
Died anyway, just now
Just now I died anyway
Died anyway, just now

Went to heaven, went to heaven
Went to heaven just now
Just now I went to heaven
Went to heaven just now
Found a peanut, found a peanut
Found a peanut just now
Just now, I found a peanut
Found a peanut, just now

14. Polly Wolly Doodle

Oh, I went down South
To see my Sal
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
My Sally is a spunky gal
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day

Fare thee well,
Fare thee well,
Fare thee well my fairy fay
For I'm going to Lou'siana
For to see my Susyanna
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day

Oh, my Sal, she is a maiden fair
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
With curly eyes and laughing hair
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day

Oh, I went to bed
But it wasn't any use
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
My feet stuck out
Like a chicken roost
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day

Behind the barn,
Down on my knees
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
I thought I heard
A chicken sneeze
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day

He sneezed so hard
With the whooping cough
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
He sneezed his head
And the tail right off
Sing Polly wolly doodle all the day
