Big Monster Snake
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. Ha, ha, ha.
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree.
Eating all the gum drops he can see.
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for me. Ha, ha, ha.
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! Ha, ha, ha.
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree.
He fell out and skinned his knee.
Poor, Kookaburra. Poor, Kookaburra.
Glad it wasn't me. Ha, ha, ha.
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree.
Singing songs so merrily.
More Kookaburra. More, Kookaburra.
Happy melodies. Ha, ha, ha.
K-K-K-Katy
Fire, Tic Tacs and vegetables. Big monster snake. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

K-K-K-Katy
K-K-K-Katy, beautiful Katy, you're the only g-g-g-girl that I adore;
When the m-m-m-moon shines over the cowshed, I'll be waiting by the k-k-k-kitchen door.
The Happy Wanderer
I love to go a wandering along the mountain track,
and as I go I love to sing,
my knapsack on my back.
Chorus:
Val-de-re, val-da-ra, Val-de-re, val-de-ra-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha,
Val-de-re, val-da-ra, my knapsack on my back.
I love to wander by the stream that dances in the sun.
So joyously it calls to me,
"Come join my happy song." (Chorus)
I wave my hat to all I see and they wave back to me,
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet,
from every green wood tree. (Chorus)
Oh, may I go a wandering until the day I die.
Oh may I always laugh and sing
beneath God's great big sky. (Chorus)
Clementine
1. In a cavern in a canyon excavating for a mine
Lived a miner, forty-niner, and his daughter,
Clementine.
Chorus:
Oh my darling, oh my darling,
Oh my darling, Clementine,
You are lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine.
2. Light she was and like a feather,
and her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes with their topses,
sandals were for Clementine. (Chorus)
3. Drove the ducklings to the water,
Ev'ry morning just at nine.
Hit her foot against a splinter,
fell into the foaming brine. (Chorus)
4. Ruby lips above the water,
blowing bubbles soft and fine,
But alas, I was no swimmer,
and I lost my Clementine. (Chorus)
5. Then the miner, forty-niner
5. Then the miner, forty-niner
soon began to peak and pine,
Thought he oughter join his daughter,
now he's with his Clementine. (Chorus)
6. In my dreams she still does haunt me,
Thought he oughter join his daughter,
now he's with his Clementine. (Chorus)
6. In my dreams she still does haunt me,
robed in garments soaked in brine;
Though in life I used to hug her,
now she's dead, I draw the line. (Chorus)
Though in life I used to hug her,
now she's dead, I draw the line. (Chorus)
My Uncle
My uncle roasted a kangaroo.
Gave me the gristley end to chew.
Was that a very nice thing to do?
To give me the gristley end of the kangaroo to chew.
I See the Moon
I see the moon,
the moon sees me.
The moon sees somebody I want to see.
God bless the moon,
and God bless me.
And God bless the somebody I want to see.
On Top of Spaghetti
On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table, and onto the floor,
And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door.
It rolled in the garden and under a bush,
And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.
Then early next summer, it grew into a tree,
And grew lovely meatballs for baby and me.
So if you eat spaghetti, all covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball, and don't ever sneeze.
