On Top of Spaghetti

On top of spaghetti, all covered with cheese, I lost my poor meatball, when somebody sneezed.

It rolled off the table and onto the floor

And then my poor meatball, it rolled out the door.

It rolled down the garden, and under a bush

And then my poor meatball, was nothing but mush.

A hundred years later, a meatball bush grew,

And now my poor meatball is back in the stew.

One Man Went To Mow

One man went to mow,

Went to mow a meadow.

One man and his dog

And a bottle of pop, and a sausage roll,

Old Mother Riley and her cow

Went to mow a meadow.

Two men went to mow,

Went to mow a meadow,

Two men, one man and his dog

And a bottle of pop, and a sausage roll,

Old Mother Riley and her cow

Went to mow a meadow.

Three men went to mow etc

Worms

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me.

Think I’ll go and eat worms.

Long fat slimy ones,

Short thin skinny ones,

See how they wriggle and squirm.

Bite off their heads,

Suck out the juice,

Throw the skins away.

Nobody knows how I survive

On worms three times a day.

Three times a day.

In the Quartermaster stores

I have not got my specs with me

I have not got my specs with me
