On top of spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
I lost my poor meatball,
When somebody sneezed.
It rolled off the table,
And on to 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.
The mush was as tasty
As tasty could be,
And then the next summer,
It grew into a tree.
The tree was all covered,
All covered with moss,
And on it grew meatballs,
And tomato sauce.
So if you eat spaghetti,
All covered with cheese,
Hold on to your meatball,
Whenever you sneeze.
Lead and repeat.
Oh you’ll never go to heaven
In a baked bin tin
Coz a baked bean tin
Has got baked beans in (repeat)
Verse
I Ain’t gonna grieve my Lord
I Ain’t gonna grieve my Lord
I Ain’t gonna grieve my Lord no more
Other chorus
Oh you’ll never got heaven
In (name a Scout)’s car
‘Cause (that Scout)’s car
Won’t go that far (repeat)
Oh you’ll never go to heaven
On roller skates
‘Cause you’ll roll right by
Those pearly gates
Oh you’ll never go to heaven
In a jumbo jet
‘Cause the Lord ain’t got
No runways yet (repeat)
Oh you’ll never go to heaven
In (name a Scout)’s pants
‘Cause (that Scout)’s pants
Are full of ants (repeat)
If you ever get to heaven,
Before I do
Just dig a hole,
And pull me through
And if I get to heaven,
Before you do
I’ll dig a hole,
And spit on you.
There are eggs, eggs,
with hairy little legs
In the stores, in the stores
There are eggs, eggs,
eggs with little legs
In the quartermasters stores
Verse:
My eyes are dim
I can not see
I have not got my specs with me
I have not got my specs with me.
Other Chorus:
Mice . . . running through the rice
Bear . . . with curlers in its hair
Flies . . . swarming ‘round the pies
Scouts . . . eating Brussel sprouts
Cheese . . . that makes you want to sneeze
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
For if I do,
My mother will say..
(HEY)
*Did you ever see a moose, kissing a goose,
Down by the bay.
*Other verses:
- Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail.
- Have you ever see a llama wearing pyjamas down by the bay.
There was a crazy moose
Who liked to drink a lot of juice
There was a crazy moose
Who liked to drink a lot of juice
CHORUS:
Singing way-oh, way oh
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh way-oh
Waaay oh, waaay oh
Way-oh, way-oh, way-oh, way-oh
Other verses:
The moose’s name was Fred
He liked to drink his juice in bed
He drank his juice with care,
But he spilled some in his hair
All his hair went stiff
So he combed it in a quiff
His friends began to laugh
So he had to take a bath
And as the water went down
Fred the moose began to drown
Singing glug-glug-glug-glug
Glug glug, glug glug, glug glug, glug glug
Glug glug, glug glug
Glug glug, glug glug, glug glug, glug glug
Quietly
His friends were full of dread
The doc pronounced the moose was dead
But if we count to five
Fred the moose will come alive.
ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE!
Dancing
There is a crazy Moose.
He still drinks a lot of juice.
I’m singing in the rain,
Just singing in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I’m happy again
Shoulders up (group echo and do the action)
A roo cha cha, a roo cha cha, a roo cha cha cha
A roo cha cha, a roo cha cha, a roo cha cha cha
Repeat each time, adding on new actions
Shoulders up . . .
Bums out . . .
Knees bent . . .
A little bit more . . .
A little bit more . . .
Thumbs up . . .
Tongues out . . .
