I'd ring it in the evening, all over this land
I'd ring out danger, I'd ring out a warning
I'd ring about the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land
If I had a song, I'd sing it in the morning
I'd sing it in the evening, all over this land

All over this land

And I've got a song to sing, all over this land
It's the hammer of justice, It's the bell of freedom
It's the song about the love between my brothers and sisters
All over this land

Alive alive-o
Alive alive-o
Crying "Cockles and mussels
Alive, alive-o"
She was a fishmonger
And sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
They each wheeled their barrow
Throught streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels,alive, alive-o"
She died of a fever
And no-one could save her
And that was the end of sweet Molly Malone
But her ghost wheels her barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying "Cockles and mussels, alive, alive-o"
I played in the dirt while the others worked
And they couldn't straighten up their back
And I made myself a promise when I was big enough to run
That I'd never stay a single day in that Oklahoma sun
And ...
Folks said that I grew up early, and that the farm couldn't hold me then
So I stole ten bucks and a pick up truck and I never went back again
Then it was fast cars and whiskey, long haired girls and fun
I had ev'rything that money could bring and I took it all with a gun
And ...
It was Saturday night in Memphis when a redneck grabbed my shirt
And he said go back to your cotton sack, I left him dyin' in the dirt
And they'll take me in the mornin' to the gallows just outside
And in the time I've got there ain't an awful lot that I can look back on with pride
And ...

Cake and tea for supper
Codfish in the spring of the year
Fried in maggoty butter
I don't want your maggoty fish
That's no good for winter
I could buy as good as that
Down in Bonavista
I took Lizer to a dance
And faith, but she could travel
And every step that she did take
Was up to her knees in gravel
OR
It aint gonna rain no more no more
It aint gonna rain no more
How the hell can the old folks tell
If it aint gonna rain no more
Mary had a little Lamb
She fed it castor oil
And everywhere that Mary went
it fertilized the soil
Mary had a little Lamb
She also had a duck
She put them on the windowsill
To see if they would fall off
Mary had a little watch
She swallowed it one day
And so she took some castor oil
To pass the time away
The castor oil it did not work
The watch refused to pass
So if you want to know the time
Just look up ... at the clock
Mary had a little Lamb
It followed her to school
They tied a brick around its neck
And drowned it in the pool.
Mary had a bicycle
She rode it back to front
And every time she turned a bend
The spokes went up her leg
Mary had a little Lamb
She took it to the zoo
It got raped by an elephant
And had a kangaroo
Mary had a little Lamb
Her father shot it dead
She still takes the lamb to school
Between two bits of bread
Mary had a little Lamb
You've heard that tale before
But have you heard she passed her plate
And had a little more
Mary had a little lamb
She tied it to a pylon
10 000 volts shot up its ...leg
And turned its wool to nylon
Mary had an little lamb
It danced in skips and hops
It danced into the road one day
And ended up as chops
Mary had a little lamb
She also had a bear
I've often seen her little lamb
But I've never seen her bare
Mary had a little dress
Its seam was split up high
And every where that Mary went
The boys could see her thigh
Mary had another dress
Its seam was split up front
But she never wore that one!
Mary had a little lamb
The doctor was surprised
But when Old McDonald had a farm
He couldn't believe his eyes
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was black as soot
And everywhere that Mary went
Its sooty foot he put
Mary had a little lamb
Its fleece was white as snow
Maar 'n ram het die lam gevang
En kyk hoe lyk hy nou!
They sat upon the grassy bank
And she was all a-quiver...
He undid her suspender belt
And her leg fell into the river!
Mary had a little lamb
and tied it to the heater
every time it turned around
it burned its little peter!
Mary had a little lamb
She ate it with mint sauce
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb went too, of course
Mary had a little lamb
And it was always grunting
She tied to the garden fence
And kicked it's ... favourite soccerball
Mary is a proper girl
She goes to church on Sundays
She prays that she will have the strength
To chase the boys on Mondays
A peanut sat on a railroad track
His heart was all a-flutter
A chooka train came round the bend
TOOT TOOT Peanut butter
A hen and a chicken went for a walk
Just to stretch their legs
A motorcar came round the bend
TOOT TOOT Ham and eggs
Oh! the night was dark and dreary
The air was full of sleet
The old man stood out in the storm
His shoes were full of feet
Oh! Mosquito he fly high
Mosquito he fly low
If old man 'Skeeta light on me
He ain't gonna fly no more
Oh, of all the fishes in the sea
My favorite is the bass
He climbs up in the seaweed trees
And slides down on his hands and knees
An old man lay down by a sewer
And by a sewer he died
Now, at the coroner's request
They called it sewer-side
A golf ball sailin' thru the air
Whizzed by a man a hummin'
He heard a caddy holler, "Fore!"
An' he thought three more were comin'
"The way to tell the twins apart"
The proud father said
"I put my finger in Willie's mouth
If he bites it, then it's Ned"
When boating, never quarrel
For you'll find, without a doubt
A boat is not the proper place
To have a falling out
"The coffee is exhausted, Sir"
The diner was advised
Says he, "It's been so weak of late
I'm really not surprised"
There's a gal up in the hills
She's awfully shy and meek
She undresses in the dark
Because the mountains peak
Mary had a steamboat
The steamboat had a bell
Mary went to heaven
The steamboat went "Toot, toot"
When Mary had a little lamb
The doctor almost cried
But when Ol' MacDonald had a farm
The doctor almost died
Said baby tern to mother tern
"Can I have a brother"
"Yes" said mom to baby tern
"One good tern deserves another"
Oh for a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldon is heard a discouraging word
For what can an antelope say?
Glory, glory, hallelujah,
You don't feel itchy, Aunty, do ya?
Glory, glory, hallelujaih,
The bugs marched down the aisle.
The little honeymooners
Were nice and cozy in her bloomers,
And the guests all took their places
In Aunt Lucy's pillowcases.
The little beasts had such a feast,
They danced and flew and soared,
All while Aunt Lucy snored.
It's an insect covered world
It's an insect covered world
It's an insect covered world
It's an insect world
It's a world of beetles, a world of fleas
It's a world of caterpillars, a world of bees
In this world that we know there is so much to show
It's an insect world
It's a Scouting world for all
It's a Scouting world for all
It's a Scouting world for all
It's a Scouting world
There is just one moon and a golden sun
And Scouting means friendship for everyone
Though the mountains divide and the oceans are wide
It's a Scouting world
Oh! the ocean waves may roll, may roll
And the stormy winds may blow, may blow-o
But we poor sailors go skipping to the tops
While the land-lubbers lie down below, below, below
While the land-lubbers lie down below
Then up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
And a fine old man was he
Saying, "This fishy mermaid has warned us of our doom
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea!"
Then up spoke the mate of our gallant ship
And a well spoken man was he
"I've married a wife in Salem Town
And tonight she a widow will be, will be, will be
And tonight she a widow will be"
Then up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
And a RED HOT cook was he
"I care much more for my kettles and my pots
Than I do for the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea
Than I do for the bottom of the sea
Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
And a scurvy little rascal was he
"I've nary a soul in Salem Town
Who will care what happened to me, to me, to me
Who will care what happened to me
(Slowly)
Then three times round, went our gallant ship
Then three times round went she
Then three times round, went our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of the sea, the sea, the sea
And she sank to the bottom of the sea
It was love ten feet away
Imagine her in my arms with that look in her face
Flyin' somewhere in some shadowy place
It was love, just ten feet away.
I just knew my closing song would do it, I knew that I was heaven bound
I could tell she was moved, but before I was through me
This stranger walked up and sat down
He was trying his best to impress her, but she never took her eyes off
When he got up and left, I said to myself; Woe a o what a night this will be
No cares have I to grieve me, no pretty little girls to deceive me
I'm as happy as a lark, believe me. As we go rolling, rolling home
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home, rolling home
Rolling home to my home by the sea, boom, boom, boom
Happy as the day when our leaders get their pay
As we go rolling, rolling home
I've got fourpence, jolly, jolly fourpence
I've got fourpence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and twopence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!
I've got twopence, jolly, jolly twopence
I've got twopence, to last me all my life
I've got twopence to spend, and no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!
I've got no pence, jolly, jolly no pence . . .
I've got no pence, to last me all my life
I've got no pence to spend, and no pence to lend
And no pence to send home to my wife. Poor wife!
