“Billy Boy” Lyrics 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 ask you to come in, Billy Boy, Billy Boy? Did she ask you to come in, Charming Billy? Yes, she asked 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 as a cat can wink an eye, She’s a young thing And cannot leave her mother.
How old is she, Billy Boy, Billy Boy? How old is she, Charming Billy? Three times six and four times seven, Twenty-eight and eleven, She’s a young thing And cannot leave her mother.

Boom Boom Ain’t It Great To Be Crazy Lyrics Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy Giddy 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 horse on me!”
Chorus
Way down South where bananas grow An ant 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
Eli, Eli, he sells socks A dollar a pair, a nickel a box The longer you wear them the shorter they get Throw’em in the water and they don’t get wet.
Chorus
Way up North where there’s ice and snow There lived a penguin and his name was Joe He got so tired of black and white He wore pink pants to the dance last night!
Chorus
There was an old doctor and his name was Peck Fell down the well and broke his neck Served him right, he was doing wrong Should have tended to the sick, and let the well alone.
Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy Giddy and foolish all day long Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy? Boom, boom, ain’t it great to be crazy?

“She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain” Lyrics She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes, when she comes She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes She’ll be coming ’round the mountain, She’ll be coming ’round the mountain She’ll be coming ’round the mountain when she comes.
She’ll be huffin’ and a-puffin’…
Oh, we’ll all come out to meet her …
We will kill the old red rooster…
She’ll be wearing pink pajamas…
(plus some bawdy ones)
Everybody asks her, did she come. Everybody asks her, did she come. They wouldn’t have to mention If they only paid attention. Everybody asks her, did she come.
She’s got a lovely titillating smile. She’s got a lovely titillating smile. She’s got a lovely titi-, She’s got a lovely titi-, She’s got a lovely titillating smile.
She’s got a lovely bottom set of teeth. She’s got a lovely bottom set of teeth. She’s got a lovely bottom. She’s got a lovely bottom. She’s got a lovely bottom set of teeth.

“Danny Boy” Lyrics Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer’s gone, and all the roses falling, It’s you, It’s you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer’s in the meadow, Or when the valley’s hushed and white with snow, It’s I’ll be here in sunshine or in shadow,— Oh, Danny boy, O Danny boy, I love you so!
But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be, Ye’ll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an Avè there for me. And I shall hear, though soft you tread above me, And all my grave will warmer, sweeter be, For you will bend and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me!

Day is Done Gone the Sun Lyrics Day is done, gone the sun, From the lake, from the hills, from the sky; All is well, safely rest, God is nigh.
Fading light, dims the sight, And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright. From afar, drawing nigh, falls the night.
Thanks and praise, for our days, ‘Neath the sun, ‘neath the stars, neath the sky; As we go, this we know, God is nigh.
Sun has set, shadows come, Time has fled, Scouts must go to their beds Always true to the promise that they made.
While the light fades from sight, And the stars gleaming rays softly send, To thy hands we our souls, Lord, commend.

“Do Your Ears Hang Low?” Lyrics Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie ’em in a knot? Can you tie ’em in a bow? Can you throw ’em o’er your shoulder Like a Continental soldier? Do your ears hang low?
Do your ears stand high? Do they reach up to the sky? Do they droop when they are wet? Do they stiffen when they’re dry? Can you wave them at your neighbor With an element of flavor? Do your ears stand high?
Do your ears flip-flop? Can you use them as 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? Can you waggle them about? Can you flap them up and down As you fly around the town? Can you shut them up for sure When you hear an awful bore? Do your ears stick out?
Do your ears give snacks? Are they all filled up with wax? Do you eat it in the morning Do you eat it in the bath? Do you eat it with a scone Or do you eat it on its own? Do your ears give snacks?
Do your ears fall off? Do they dangle when you cough? Can you juggle them for fun? And put them back when you are done? Can you do some origami? Can you chew them like salami? Do your ears fall off?
“Do your ears hang low?” Song UK Version
Do your ears hang low? Can you swing them to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow? Can you swing them over your shoulder like a regimental soldier Do your ears hang low?

Down by the bay, Where the watermelons grow, Back to my home, I dare not go, For if I do, My mother will say:
“Down by the Bay” Long Version 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 goose, Kissing a moose? 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 have a time, When you couldn’t make a rhyme? Down by the bay!

“For Want of a Nail” Lyrics For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the message was lost. For want of a message the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

Gingerbread Man Lyrics Run, run, run as fast as you can. You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man. I ran from the baker and his wife too. You’ll never catch me, not any of you. The baker made a boy one day Who leapt from the oven ready to play. He and his wife were ready to eat The gingerbread man who had run down the street. Run, run, run as fast as you can, You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man. I ran from the baker and his wife too. You’ll never catch me, not any of you. Then came a pig and cow and hare Who joined in the chase around the square. They were all hungry and ready to eat, But that gingerbread man was too quick on his feet. Run, run, run as fast as you can, You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man I ran from the baker and his wife too You’ll never catch me, not any of you He came to a pond that blocked his path And gingerbread men don’t like to bath. Out jumped a fox who said, “hop on, I will take you safely across the pond.” Run, run, run as fast as you can. You’ll never catch me, I’m the gingerbread man. I ran from the baker and his wife too. You’ll never catch me, not any of you. He climbed up onto the fox’s back, Who licked his lips and wanted to snack. He climbed onto the fox’s head, Who loved the taste of gingerbread. Run, run, run as fast as you can. You’ll never catch me I’m the gingerbread man. He trusted the fox to help his plan And that was the end of the gingerbread man

We’re Going On A Bear Hunt Lyrics We’re goin’ on a bear hunt, We’re going to catch a big one, I’m not scared What a beautiful day! Oh look! It’s some long, wavy grass! Can’t go over it, Can’t go under it, Can’t go around it, Got to go through it!
We’re goin’ on a bear hunt, We’re going to catch a big one, I’m not scared What a beautiful day! Oh look! It’s a mushroom patch. Can’t go over it, Can’t go under it, Can’t go around it, Got to go through it!
We’re goin’ on a bear hunt, We’re going to catch a big one, I’m not scared What a beautiful day! Oh look! It’s a wide river. Can’t go over it, Can’t go under it, Can’t go through it, Got to swim across it.
We’re goin’ on a bear hunt, We’re going to catch a big one, I’m not scared What a beautiful day! Oh look! A deep, dark cave. Can’t go over it, Can’t go under it, Can’t go through it, Got to go in it.
Uh, oh! It’s dark in here. I feel something, It has lots of hair! It has sharp teeth! It’s a bear!
Hurry back through the river, Back through the mushroom patch, Back through the long grass Run in the house and lock the door. Phew! That was close!
I’m not afraid!

Learned a different version of this one from mom.
Great Green Gobs of Greasy, Grimy Gopher Guts Lyrics Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts Mutilated monkey meat Hairy pickled piggy feet French fried eyeballs floating in some kerosene And me without a spoon.
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts Scab sandwich, puss on top Vulture vomit, camel snot Deep dish boogers soaking in a bowl of fat And me without a spoon.
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts Parrot eyeballs dipped in glue Petrified porpoise puss Flaming ear wax bobbing in a bowl of barf And me without a spoon.
Great green gobs of greasy grimy gopher guts Dessicated dinosaur dung Percollated pelican poop Tortoise turd balls with the little flies inside And me without a spoon.

How Much is That Doggie in the Window? Lyrics How much is that doggie in the window? The one with the waggly tail How much is that doggie in the window? I do hope that doggie’s for sale I must take a trip to California And leave my poor sweetheart alone If he has a dog, he won’t be lonesome And the doggie will have a good home How much is that doggie in the window? The one with the waggly tail How much is that doggie in the window? I do hope that doggie’s for sale I read in the papers there are robbers With flashlights that shine in the dark My love needs a doggie to protect him And scare them away with one bark I don’t want a bunny or a kitty I don’t want a parrot that talks I don’t want a bowl of little fishies He can’t take a goldfish for a walk How much is that doggie in the window? The one with the waggly tail How much is that doggie in the window? I do hope that doggie’s for sale

“I’ve Been Working on the Railroad” Lyrics I’ve been workin’ on the railroad All the livelong day I’ve been workin’ on the railroad Just to pass the time away Can’t you hear the whistle blowin’ Rise up so early in the morn Can’t you hear the captain shouting “Dinah, blow your horn”.
Dinah won’t you blow Dinah won’t you blow Dinah won’t you blow your horn Dinah won’t you blow Dinah won’t you blow Dinah won’t you blow your horn.
Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah Someone’s in the kitchen I know Someone’s in the kitchen with Dinah Strummin’ on the old banjo, Singin’ “Fe Fi Fiddly I Oh, Fe Fi Fiddly I Oh, Fe Fi Fiddly I Oh,” Strummin’ on the old banjo.

“Itsy Bitsy Spider” Lyrics “The itsy bitsy spider crawled up the water spout. Down came the rain, and washed the spider out. Out came the sun, and dried up all the rain, and the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again”
In other versions, “crawled” is replaced with “climbed” or” went”
“Incy Wincy Spider” Alternative Version Incy Wincy spider climbing up the spout. Down came the rain, and washed poor Incy out. Up came the sun, and dried up all the rain And Incy Wincy spider went climbing up again.

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Lyrics I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do I don’t want a doll, no dinky Tinkertoy I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you? He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue Just bring him through the front door That’s the easy thing to do
I can see me now on Christmas morning Creeping down the stairs Oh, what joy and what surprise When I open up my eyes To see my hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses I only like hippopotamuseses And hippopotamuses like me too
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas A hippopotamus is all I want Mom says the hippo would eat me up But then teacher says a hippo is a vegetarian
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas The kind I saw this summer at the zoo There’s lots of room for him in our two car garage I’d feed him there and wash him there And give him his massage
I can see me now on Christmas morning Creeping down the stairs Oh, what joy and what surprise When I open up my eyes To see my hippo hero standing there
I want a hippopotamus for Christmas Only a hippopotamus will do No crocodiles, or rhinoceroseses I only like hippopotamuses And hippopotamuses like me too

“Jack and Jill” Lyrics Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. Then up got Jack and said to Jill, As in his arms he took her, “Brush off that dirt for you’re not hurt, Let’s fetch that pail of water.” So Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch the pail of water, And took it home to Mother dear, Who thanked her son and daughter.

Jimmy Crack Corn Lyrics Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care, Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care, Jimmy crack corn, and I don’t care, My master’s gone away.
The second verse goes: He told me to plow, and I told him “No.” He told me to sing, and I told him “No.” He told me to play the old banjo, And I called for rain and the winds did blow.
The third verse goes: One day he rode around the farm, The flies so numerous they did swarm, One chanced to bite him on the thigh, The devil take the blue-tail fly.

“Kookaburra Song” Lyrics 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, Leave some there for me.

“Lavender’s Blue” Lyrics Lavender’s blue, dilly dilly, lavender’s green, When I am king, dilly dilly, you shall be queen: Who told you so, dilly dilly, who told you so? ‘Twas mine own heart, dilly dilly, that told me so. Call up your men, dilly dilly, set them to work, Some with a rake, dilly dilly, some with a fork; Some to make hay, dilly dilly, some to thresh corn, Whilst you and I, dilly dilly, keep ourselves warm. If you should die, dilly dilly, as it may hap, You shall be buried, dilly dilly, under the tap; Who told you so, dilly dilly, pray tell me why? That you might drink, dilly dilly, when you are dry.
“Lavender’s Blue” Original Version Lavender’s blue, dilly, dilly, lavender’s green, When I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be my queen; Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work, Some to the plough, dilly, dilly, some to the cart; Some to make hay dilly, dilly, some the thresh corn; Whilst you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.
