Silly Songs

The King's Knight Out

(Tune: God Save the King/My Country 'tis of Thee)
 

King Arthur had a date,
He stayed out very late,
The Queen was mad,
The Queen, she paced the floor,
The King came in at four,
She met him at the door,
God save the King.
(Or, Please help the King)

He'd been out with the knights,
They had been in a fight,
With enemies,
He fell into the moat,
Pushed by a passing goat,
He could just barely float,
God save the King.

His friends would not come near,
Loaded with battle gear,
They could not swim,
Helmets and armor, new,
Cross-bows and arrows, too.
Even a metal shoe,
God save the King.

Just then a knight went by,
His clothes were nice and dry,
He jumped right in,
Swam to the sinking King,
Pulled him out of the stream
You should have heard him scream,
God save the King.

We're Here Because We're Here

This is a good song to get started.

Sing to tune of: "Auld Lang Syne"

We're Here Because We're Here
Because We're Here Because We're Here
We're Here Because We're Here
Because We're Here Because We're Here
 

Note: Repeat until you get tired.

OH I WISH I WERE

(Tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It")

Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap. I would slippy
and I'd slidey, Over everybody's hidey.
Oh, I wish I were a little bar of soap.

Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.
Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.
I would ooey and I'd gooey,
Under everybody's shoey.
Oh, I wish I were a little hunk of mud.

Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop.
Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop. I'd
go down with a slurp, and come up with a burp.
Oh, I wish I were a little can of pop.

Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.
Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.
I would sit upon the trail,
And knock everyone on his tail.
Oh, I wish I were a little slippery root.

Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.
Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.
I'd buzzy and I'd bitey,
Under everybody's nighty.
Oh, I wish I were a little mosquito.

Oh, I wish I were a little bitty orange.
Oh, I wish I were a little bitty orange.
I'd go squirty, squirty, squirty,
Over everybody's shirty.
Oh, I wish I were a little bitty orange.

SIPPIN' CIDER

The prettiest girl, (repeat)
I ever saw, (repeat)
Was sippin' ci-(repeat)
Der through a straw. (repeat)
(All) The prettiest girl I ever saw,
Was sippin' cider through a straw.

Continue in a similar manner:

I said to her, "What ya doin' that
fer, A sippin' ci-der through a straw."

First cheek to cheek, then jaw to
jaw, We both sipped ci-der through a straw.

Every now and then, that straw
would slip, And I sipped ci-der through her lips.

That's how I got my mother in law,
By sippin' ci-der through a straw.

Now forty-nine kids, all call me
Pa, From sippin' ci-der through a straw.

The moral of this sad, sad, joke,
Is don't sip ci-der sip a Coke.

The Lord told Noah' there's gonna be a floody, floody.
The Lord told Noah' there's gonna be a floody, floody.

Chorus

The animals they came on, they came on by twosies, twosies.
The animals they came on, they came on by twosies, twosies.

Chorus

---

It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies.

All most drove those animals crazy, crazy.
Children of the Lord.

Chorus

The sun came out and dried up the landy, landy.

Everything was fine and dandy,
dandy Children of the Lord.
