lyrics

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”
