GUEST,soderbo Lyr ADD: Ging Gang Goolie (Robert Baden-Powell ??) (71* d) RE: Lyr Req: Ging Gang Goolie (Robert Baden-Powell) 07 Jan 12


We, my twinbrother and me (born 1947) sing this version:
    Kinkan kolli kolli kolli kolli vassian kinkan koh vassian goh
    Kinkan kolli kolli kolli kolli vassian kinkan koh vassian goh
    Ila ilasiava ilasiava palamba
    Ila ilasiava ilasiava palamba
    Tjolafalla, tjolafalla Kinkan ... and so on
But the original(?) "Niggers` Morning-Song" from 1905 (Gothenburg, Sweden) goes:
    Hinkan, kolikolikolikolifejsan, Kinkan koh, kinkan koh
    Hinkan, kolikolikolikolifejsan, Kinkan koh, kinkan koh
    Ava, illa shava O, illa shava Kolifejs!
    Ava, illa shava O, illa shava Kolifejs!
    Tjolafalla, tjolafalla!
Please sing and compare with "Ging gang" (or "Qui qua Molly ..." or "Quick qwack qwanny ..." or "Shanne annee mannee ..." or "Oompa kalli alli alli ..." or ...)! Any Comments?
