Ha-ha, ho-ho, he-he, whistle whistle
As somebody went out walking with my brother Jim
Somebody throw a tomato at him
Now tomatoes are soft and don't cut the skin
This beggar did it was still in the tin
(chorus)
We mourn for poor Charlie who just for a stunt
Went out with his overcoat on back to front
While crossing the road a big car knocked him down
He'd be living today but they turned his head round
(chorus)
Now as I went out walking down Standford Street
I met a young man with no shoes to his feet
Now me having plenty of money to spare
I slipped into fruit shop and bought him a pear
(chorus)
To market, to market to buy me a hen
An egg for me breakfast I'd have now and then
But when I got home, oh I had such a shock
For the hen that I'd bought turned out to be a cock
(chorus)
To market, to market to buy a fat cow
To milk it, to milk it she did not know how
She pulled on its tail instead of its teats
And poor little Linda got covered in . . .
(chorus)

(can be sung in two parts with one singing "monkey, monkey" while the other half sings the song)

We went to the animal fair
The birds and the beasts were there
The big baboon by the light of the moon
Was combing his auburn hair
The monkey fell out of his bunk (bonk!)
Slid down the elephant's trunk (wheee!)
The elephant sneezed and fell on his knees
And what become of the monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey, monkey

So I'm going to be a ### if I can
Back to Greenmount Happy Land
I'm going to be a ### if I can

The Grand Ole Duke of York

Oh, the Grand ole Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And me marched them down again
And when they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only half way up
They were neither up nor down
(miss out ups and downs)

While the other pink poodle paddled down
One hedgehog hedged up the hedge

Shoot with the infantry

Wild Rover

I've been a wild rover for many a year
And I've spent all my money on whisky and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
And I never will play the wild rover no more
(chorus)
And it's no nay never
No nay never no more
Will I play the wild rover
No never no more
I went to an ale-house I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit , she answered me "Nay,
Sure it's custom like yours I can get any day"
(chorus)
Then out from my pocket I drew sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
She said "I have whisky and wines of the best,
and those words I've just spoken were only in jest"
(chorus)
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And then they'll forgive me as oft times before
I never will play the wild rover no more
(chorus)

Zombies

Zombies attention, Zombies begin
Left arm, right arm, left leg, right leg, turn around, sit down
Did you ever see a zombie look like me
Take a look at me a zombie you will see
