KING BORRIA BUNGALEE BOO	A
Was a man eating African swell	B
His sigh was a hullaballoo	B
His whisper a horrible yell	B
A horrible horrible yell	B
	-
Four subjects and all of them male	B
To BORRIA doubled the knee	C
They were once on a far larger scale	B
But he'd eaten the balance you see	C
'Scale' and 'balance' is punning you see	C
	-
There was haughty PISH TUSH POOH BAH	D
There was lumbering DOODLE DUM DEY	E
Despairing ALACK A DEY AH	D
And good little TOOTLE TUM TEH	E
Exemplary TOOTLE TUM TEH	E
	-
One day there was grief in the crew	A
For they hadn't a morsel of meat	E
And BORRIA BUNGALEE BOO	A
Was dying for something to eat	E
'Come provide me with something to eat	E
	-
'ALACK A DEY famished I feel	B
Oh good little TOOTLE TUM TEH	E
Where on earth shall I look for a meal	B
For I haven't no dinner to day	E
Not a morsel of dinner to day	E
	-
'Dear TOOTLE TUM what shall we do	E
Come get us a meal or in truth	F
If you don't we shall have to eat you	E
Oh adorable friend of our youth	F
Thou beloved little friend of our youth '	-
	-
And he answered 'Oh BUNGALEE BOO	E
For a moment I hope you will wait	E
TIPPY WIPPITY TOL THE ROL LOO	E
Is the Queen of a neighbouring state	E
A remarkably neighbouring state	E
	-
'TIPPY WIPPITY TOL THE ROL LOO	E
She would pickle deliciously cold	E
And her four pretty Amazons too	E
Are enticing and not very old	E
Twenty seven is not very old	E
	-
'There is neat little TITTY FOL LEH	B
There is rollicking TRAL THE RAL LAH	B
There is jocular WAGGETY WEH	G
There is musical DOH REH MI FAH	H
There's the nightingale DOH REH MI FAH '	-
	-
So the forces of BUNGALEE BOO	E
Marched forth in a terrible row	I
And the ladies who fought for QUEEN LOO	E
Prepared to encounter the foe	I
This dreadful insatiate foe	I
	-
But they sharpened no weapons at all	B
And they poisoned no arrows not they	E
They made ready to conquer or fall	B
In a totally different way	E
An entirely different way	E
	-
With a crimson and pearly white dye	J
They endeavoured to make themselves fair	K
With black they encircled each eye	J
And with yellow they painted their hair	K
It was wool but they thought it was hair	K
	-
And the forces they met in the field	E
And the men of KING BORRIA said	E
'Amazonians immediately yield '	-
And their arrows they drew to the head	E
Yes drew them right up to the head	E
	-
But jocular WAGGETY WEH	E
Ogled DOODLE DUM DEY which was wrong	L
And neat little TITTY FOL LEH	B
Said 'TOOTLE TUM you go along	L
You naughty old dear go along '	-
	-
And rollicking TRAL THE RAL LAH	B
Tapped ALACK A DEY AH with her fan	M
And musical DOH REH MI FAH	I
Said 'PISH go away you bad man	M
Go away you delightful young man '	-
	-
And the Amazons simpered and sighed	E
And they ogled and giggled and flushed	E
And they opened their pretty eyes wide	E
And they chuckled and flirted and blushed	E
At least if they could they'd have blushed	E
	-
But haughty PISH TUSH POOH BAH	D
Said 'ALACK A DEY what does this mean '	-
And despairing ALACK A DEY AH	D
Said 'They think us uncommonly green	N
Ha ha most uncommonly green '	-
	-
Even blundering DOODLE DUM DEY	E
Was insensible quite to their leers	C
And said good little TOOTLE TUM TEH	E
'It's your blood we desire pretty dears	C
We have come for our dinners my dears '	-
	-
And the Queen of the Amazons fell	B
To BORRIA BUNGALEE BOO	E
In a mouthful he gulped with a yell	B
TIPPY WIPPITY TOL THE ROL LOO	E
The pretty QUEEN TOL THE ROL LOO	E
	-
And neat little TITTY FOL LEH	B
Was eaten by PISH POOH BAH	D
And light hearted WAGGETY WEH	E
By dismal ALACK A DEY AH	D
Despairing ALACK A DEY AH	D
	-
And rollicking TRAL THE RAL LAH	B
Was eaten by DOODLE DUM DEY	E
And musical DOH REH MI FAH	I
By good little TOOTLE DUM TEH	E
Exemplary TOOTLE TUM TEH	E
