[Touch the appropriate body part each time it's mentioned. Second time: don'tsay the word 'head' aloud, but still touch it. Each verse thereafter, addanother body part that you touch but don't mention aloud.]
[Action: As you sing each word beginning with the letter B, change from astanding to a sitting position and vice versa. All should be standing at theend of the song. When you have mastered these movements, sing it again,faster.]

...do all four...
I asked her if, [Echo.] she'd show me how, [Echo.]
To sip that cider through a straw.
Then cheek to cheek, and jaw to jaw,
We sipped that cider through a straw.
Every now and then, the straw would slip,
I'd sip some cider from her lip.
The parson came to her backyard,
A sipping cider from a straw.
And now I have a mother-in-law,
And fourteen kids to call me Pa.
The moral of this little tale,
Is sip your cider from a pail!
Well fix it, dear Henry,
dear Henry, dear Henry,
Well fix it, dear Henry, well fix it.
With what shall fix it, . . .
With straw, . . .
The straw is too long, . . .
Well cut it, . . .
With what shall I cut it, . . .
With an axe, . . .
The axe is too dull, . . .
Then sharpen it, . . .
With what shall I sharpen it, . . .
With a stone, . . . .
The stone is too dry, . . .
Then wet it, . . .
With what shall I wet it, . . .
With water, . . . .
In what shall I fetch it, . . .
With a bucket, . . .
There's a hole in my bucket, . . .
Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now. [Repeat]
[Continue in the same manner with questions:
- Where d'ya find it...
- In the ...
- What was it doing there...
etc until one team gets stuck or repeats.
Then sing "Got you beaten", "repetition" etc.]
"I'm going, Blue; so this you gotta do,
I'm not gonna pull through, Blue, so this you gotta do..."
CHORUS
Tie me kangaroo down, sport, tie me kangaroo down. [Repeat.]
Let me wombats go loose, Bruce,
let me wombats go loose.
They're of no further use, Bruce,
so let me wombats go lose.
Take me koalas back, Jack, take me koalas back.
They live somewhere out on the track, Mac, so take me koalas back.
Watch me wallabies feed, Speed,
watch me wallabies feed,
They're a dangerous breed, Speed,
so watch me wallabies feed.
Keep me cockatoos cool, Curl, keep me cockatoos cool,
Don't go acting the fool, Curl, just keep me cockatoos cool.
Mind me platypus duck, Bill, mind me platypus duck.
Don't let him go running amuck, Bill, mind me platypus duck.
Play your didgeridoo, Lew, play your didgeridoo,
Keep playing 'til I shoot through, Lew, play your didgeridoo.
[haltingly with pathos] She'll be driving six white horses, when she comes, Oh, we'll all go out to meet her when she comes. (Hi babe!) She'll be wearing silk pajamas when she comes, [Wolf whistle.] And, we'll wear our bright red woolies when she comes, (Scratch, scratch!)
Oh, we'll all have chicken and dumplings when she comes, (Yum, yum! / Yuck,

and that's it hanging on the shed!SHE'LL BE COMIN' 'ROUND THE MOUNTAIN
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes. (Whoo, whoo!)[Repeat.]
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain,
blowing steam off like a fountain,
She'll be comin' 'round the mountain when she comes.
(Whoa, there!) [etc.]
Oh, we'll kill the old red rooster, (Hack, hack!)
cause he don't crow like he use ter.
Oh, we'll all have indigestion when she comes, (Burp, burp!)THIS OLD MAN
This old man, he plays one,
He plays knick-knack on my thumb.
With a knick-knack, paddy-wack, give a dog a bone.
This old man goes rolling home.
Three-on my knee. [Tap on knee.]
Four-on the floor. [Touch the floor.]
Five-on my hive. [Move hands as if brushing bees away from ears.]
Six-on my sticks. [Tap knuckles of other hand.]
Seven-up to Devon. [Shake fist.]
Eight-on my pate. [Tap top of head.]
Nine-on my spine. [Touch backbone.]
