Too high, you can't get over it

Too low, you can't get under it

Too wide, you can't get round of it

You've got to go through the door

My aunt Grete

My Aunt Grete, veed-a-veed-a-veet
Had a puss, veed-a-veed-a-vuss
And that puss, veed-a-veed-a-vuss
Had a tail

And that tail veed-a-veed-a-vail
Had a twirl, veed-a-veed-a-virl
And that twirl, veed-a-veed-a-virl
Had a tip. COMMA.

And that tip, veed-a-veed-a-vip
Had a twirl, veed-a-veed-a-virl
And that twirl, veed-a-veed-a-virl
Had a tail

And that tail, veed-a-veed-a-vail
Had a puss, veed-a-veed-a-vuss
And that puss, veed-a-veed-a-vuss
Had my aunt

She sat on the verandah
And played her guitar
Played her guitar
Played her guitar
She sat on the verandah
And played her guitar
Played her guitar

He sat down beside her
And smoked his cigar
etc



He said that he loved her
But oh! how he lied
etc



She said she believed him
But oh! how she sighed
etc



They were to be married
But somehow she died
etc



He went to her funeral
But just for the ride
etc



He sat on her tombstone
And laughed till he cried
etc



The tombstone fell on him
And squish squash he died
etc



She went to heaven
And flip flap she flied
etc



He went to t'other place
And frizzled & fried
etc



Now the moral of this story is ne'er tell a lie
Is ne'er tell a lie
etc



If you want any more
You can sing it again
etc

My ship sailed from China

With a cargo of tea

All laden with presents

For you & for me.



They brought me a fan

Just imagine my bliss

When I found myself going daily

Like this, like this, like this, like this, like this

As-tu remarque
Ce qui est au plafond ?
C’est une grosse bête
Qui roule a bicyclette

C’est un éléphant

Mais oui évidement
Il y une queue derrière
Et une autre devant

TRANSLATION

Have you noticed that thing on the ceiling?
It's a huge great beast riding on a bicycle.

It's an elephant!

Oh yes, of course
It has one tail at the back & another one in front
