Bicycle Built for Two

Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer true.

It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage,
But you'll look sweet, upon the seat,
Of a bicycle fuilt for two.

Davey, Davey, here is your answer true.
I'm not crazy, O for the love of you.

You must afford a carriage!

On a bicycle built for two.

And let the juice run through,
Just plant a watermelon seed upon my grace,

But there ain't no taste like a watermelon ring.
Just plant a watermelon seed upon my grave,
And let the juice run through.

Rode up to Miss Mousie's door, ...
He gave three raps and a very loud roar. ...

He said, "miss Mousie, are you with'in?" ...
"Yes, I just sat down to spin," ...

He went right in and took her on his knee, ...
Said, "Miss Mousie, will you marry me?" ...

Miss Mousie, seh said, "I can't answer that, ...
Until I see my Uncle Rat, ...

Uncle Rat's in London Town, ...
And I don't know when he'll be down. ...

Withoug my Uncle Rat's consent, ...
I wouldn't marry the President," ...

Uncle Rat came reding home, ...
"Who's been here since I've been gone?" ...

"A very worthy gentleman, ...
He said he'd marry me if he can," ...

The first came in was an old brown cow, ...
Tried to dance and didn't know how, ...

The next came in was an old grey mare, ...
Hip stuck out and shoulder bare, ...

The next came in was a little black dog, ...
Chased Mis Mousie in a hollow log, ...

The next came in was an old tom cat, ...
Swallowed Miss Mousie slick as a rat, ...

Mr. Frog he went down to the lake, ...
And there he was swallowed by a big black snake, ...

Big black snake he swam to the lane, ...
And there was killed by a big man, ...

The big man he went to France, ...
And that's the end of my romance, ...

So here's the end of one, two, three, ...
The snake, the frog and Miss Mousie, ...

There's bread and cheese upon the shelf, ...
If you want any, just help yourself.

And she whistles as the (sniff) runs down her nose.

5.  Oh, ma I go a-wandering, until the day I die!
Oh, may I always laugh and sing, Beneath God's clear blue sky!

I'd Like to Theach the World to Sing

I'd like to buld the world a home,
And furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees,
And snow white turtle doves.

In perfect harmony,
I'd like to hold it in my arms,
And keep it company.
I'd like to see the world for once,
Walk hand, in hand, in hand,
And hear them echo through the hills,
For peace throughout the land.

It's the real thing,
What the world wants today,
That's the wat it'll stay,
With the real thing.

In perfect harmony,
A song of peace that echoes on,
And never goes away.

Put your hand in my hand,

With your hand in my hand,
Help me find the way.

I'd like to see the world for once,
Walk hand, in hand, in hand,
And hear them echo through the hills,
For peace throughout the land.

In perfect harmony,
A song of peach that echoes on,
And never goes away.

Rock-a-my soul in the bosom of Abraham,
Rock-a-my soul in the bosom of Abraham,
Rock-a-my soul in the bosom of Abraham,
Oh! Rock-a-my soul!



This Old Man

This old man, he played one,
He played knick-knack on his thumb
With a knick-knack, paddy whack,
Give the dog a bone,
This old man came rolling home.

Three Blind Mice

Three blind mice,
Three blind mice,
See how they run,
See how they run,
They all ran after the farmer's wife,
She cut off their tails with a carving knife,
Have you ever seen such a thing in your life,
As three blind mice?

Three rodents with defective visual perception,
Three rodents with defective visual perception,
Observe how they perambulate,
Observe how they perambulate,
They all perambulated after the Agriculturalist's spouse,
Who severed their tails with a kitcuen utencil;
Have you ever ovserved such a sepctacle in your existence,
As three rodents with defective visual perception?



Waltzing Matilda
1.  Once a jolly swag man camped beside a billabons,
Under the shade of the coolibah tree,
And he sang as he watched and he waited 'til his billy boiled,
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?"
CH:  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?"
(substitute the last two lines of verse into chorus)
2.  Down came a jumbuck to dirnt beside a billabong,
Up jumped the swag man and seized him with glee;
And he sand as he talked to that jumbuck in hes tuckerbag;
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?"
3.  Down came a stockman, riding on his thoroughbred;
Down came the troopers, one, two, three.
"Where's the jolly jumbuck, you've got in your tuckerbag?
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?"
4.  Up jumped the swag man and plunged into the billabong,
"You'll never catch me alive!" cried he.
And his ghost may be heard as you ride beside the billabong,
"You'll come a waltzing Matilda with me?"
