Miss Crocodilly – Doug McDonald Miss Crocodilly was a pretty little thing And just old enough to have a bitty fling She travelled up north by the mango stand North by east from the never never land Mister Crocodog was a mighty big noise Up in the north he was king of the boys A great big thrasher with a 20 foot tail He could make the mightiest trembling wail Now Mister Crocodog went to town one day Just for a munch and a little bitty play Miss Crocodilly he there a spied “Now there’s a nice filly I’ll make her my bride” Not being backward in this sort of thing He wandered on over like a fully blown king He said “Now Miss it sounds kinda silly But how about your being Mrs Crocodocodilly” She said “Now Mister you’re mighty uncouth You’ve got no manners and you’re missing a tooth Besides all that you’re just a big log I’m a Crocodilly and you’re a Crocodog” Back in the swamps Mister Crocodog cried “She’ll be my wife though she’s hurt my pride” So he learned up his manners from the etiquette book Made a false tooth and restored his good looks Mister Crocodog then marched into town He said “Now Miss don’t you turn me down” She looked up at him and said “I must have the wog But I will change my name to Mrs Crocodillydog” And so they were married in the ‘T Tree’ church And not long after she was having her first She looked up at hubby with a great big smile And said “Now dear we’ll have to call him…Master Crocodile”

The Munganana Jig - Ken McDonald The Yellow Caterpillar was walking down the track There was a Red Belly Black there, lying on his back He said “Hey Mr Snake, you better keep awake If I step on your tail, it’s gonna be too late! ” The snake said “Hey you munga little cat I love sleeping in the sun, thanks for the rap We can do the Munganana and we’ll be the best of friends I’ll teach you how to do it, then you teach it to your friends” Chorus So they did the Munganana Jig And went round and round They did the Munganana Wriggling on the ground They did the Munganana Jig Their bodies they bend They did the Munganana They left the best of friends The Yellow Caterpillar was walking down the track There was a Big Black Dog just waiting to attack He said “Hey you Cat you better get back I could do my nana cos you’re stomping on my track” The Cat said “Hey you munga big dog I hear what you say but you got me all wrong We can do the Munganana and we’ll be the best of friends I’ll teach you how to do it, then you do it with your friends” Chorus … “Stomping on the ground” The Yellow Caterpillar was walking down the track There was a Big Red Roo there having a good scratch He said “Hey you big Roo, you want to get down I want to hitch a ride cos I’m late to get to town” The Roo said “Hey, so you’re the munga cat The Big Black Dog caught me having a little nap He taught me Munganana Jig so now we’re best of friends I’ll hop you into town, then we’ll bop with our friends” Chorus ... “Hopping on the ground” Chorus ... “Wriggling on the ground”

Platypus in the Broken River - Ken McDonald Not too far from the Pacific Ocean There’s a place to get away from the heat and commotion It’ll put your mind right back in slow motion In the heat of the summertime The platypus living in the Broken River He doesn’t want to quibble he doesn’t want to shiver He just want to settle down and lay a few eggs In the heat of the summertime Old man platypus says what a lark Swimming up and down in a national park People coming down to have a look around In the heat of the summertime Chorus Platypus master of the backstroke Yeah he can eat the butterfly He’d never been a one to take to breastroke Freestyle well that’s his life The platypus shoulda been a Wahoo You never know what he’s gonna do He doesn’t buy goggles and he doesn’t need flippers He can tumble turn like the loop the loop Up first thing at the crack of dawn Try to see the platypus feeling like a prawn Don’t see a thing you try to-morrow morning In the heat of the summertime Up around Eungella’s national park The platypus comes out at night plays in the dark Daytime never turned him on for a start In the heat of the summertime Instrumental break Chorus The platypus living in the Broken River He doesn’t want to quibble he doesn’t want to shiver He just want to settle down and lay a few eggs In the heat of the summertime

Baby Beluga – Raffi & D. Pike Baby beluga in the deep blue sea Swim so wild and swim so free Heaven above and the sea below And a little white whale on the go Baby beluga, baby beluga Is the water warm, is your mamma home With you so happy Way down yonder where the dolphins play Where you dive and splash all day Waves roll in and the waves roll out See the water squirting out of your spout Baby beluga, baby beluga Sing your little song, sing for all your friends We like to hear you When it’s dark and you’re home and fed Curl up snug in your water bed Moon is shining and the stars are out Good night little whale good night Baby beluga, baby beluga With to-morrows sun another days begun You’ll soon be waking Baby beluga in the deep blue sea Swim so wild and swim so free Heaven above and the sea below And a little white whale on the go You’re just a little white whale on the go

Do You Dig Rock and Roll - Ken McDonald One two three four ! Do you dig rock and roll A beat up version of blues and soul Come on baby for a while Maybe baby it could make you smile Do you dig rock and roll Shake the lid on the sugar bowl Do you have a real cool Mum Shake it Mama and have some fun Dance away your spooky night Make your body feel alright Send vibrations through the floor Stop the thunder of your Papa snore Do you dig rock and roll A beat up version of blues and soul Come on baby for a while Maybe baby it could make you smile

Bindy the Trampoline Cat - Ken McDonald Chorus Bindy Bindy the trampoline cat Leaps in the air lands on his back Frightened of nothing no one no fear Bindy the stunt cat jumps into gear Bindy the stunt cat jumps into gear Walking through the grass looking for birds They’re all up the tree not saying a word Fly through the air like a circus acrobat The birds take off he lands on his back Chorus A hairy black dog comes looking for cats Bindy is ready to go on the attack There’s a rowdy commotion and the bloody nose dog Tail between his legs, leaps off like a frog Chorus A cute kitty cat comes looking for a mate Bindy’s dreaming by the front gate The cute kitty cat grabs hold of his knee Leaps in the air he lands in a tree Chorus

Satchenal the Billygoat - Ken McDonald Satchenal the billygoat He tried to go to school But he was just a fool He left home at far too late And when he got to school The teacher caught him at the gate “Why are you late Satchenal? ” She would plead in hope But he was just a dope “Just because ” he’d say to her The teacher would get mad And Satchenal was glad Chorus Satchenal the billygoat Couldn’t read or write Satchenal though just a fool Really was alright Satchenal the billygoat Sat quietly in school Cos he was just a fool The other kids all did their best But Satchenal would loaf And wearily he’d rest When lunch came the teacher said “ Satchenal wake up You’re not at home in bed ” He would rush out through the door And nine times out of ten He knocked the teacher on the floor Chorus Satchenal the billygoat Had to leave the school Cos he was such a fool Now he’s living at our home But Mum thinks good of him Cos we don’t need a bin All our scraps and empty tins Go to Satchenal Who puts them inside of him Peacefully he sleeps all day And when it comes to meals Satchenal’s awake Chorus

The Fox - traditional The fox went out one chilly night Prayed to the moon to give him light For he’d many a mile to go that night Before he reached the towno towno towno He’d many a mile to go that night Before he reached the towno He ran til he came to the great big pen The ducks and the geese were kept therein A couple of you are going to grease my chin Before I leave this towno towno towno A couple of you are going to grease my chin Before I leave this towno He grabbed the grey goose by the neck Threw a duck across his back And he didn’t mind their quack quack quack And the legs all dangling downo downo downo He didn’t mind their quack quack quack And the legs all dangling downo Old mother Macadonald jumped out of bed Out of the window she cocked her head Crying John John the grey goose is gone The fox is on the towno towno towno John John the grey goose is gone The fox is on the towno He ran til he came to the cosy den There were the little ones eight, nine, ten Saying Daddy Daddy better go back again Cos it must be a mighty fine towno towno towno Daddy Daddy better go back again It must be a mighty fine towno The fox and his wife without any strife Cut up the goose with a fork and a knife And they never had such a supper in their life And the little ones chewed on the boneso boneso boneso They never had such a supper in their life And the little ones chewed on the boneso
