Subject: Req/ADD: Hagalena Magalena
We have another thread (click) active today on "Gilly Gilly Ossenfeffer Katzenellen Bogen By The Sea." I thought that one was a camp song, but it turnd sout to be a composed song recorded by The Four Lads. It reminded me of a camp song that my little sister used to sing to drive me crazy, "Hagalena Magalena."
This page (click) has one version of the lyrics:
MAGALENA HAGALENA
Chorus:
Oh Magalena Hagalena Okanocka-walkatalka-okanokapoka was her name.
She had two hairs on the middle of her head,
One was alive and the other was dead.
[Chorus]
She had two teeth in the middle of her mouth,
One pointed north and the other pointed south.
[Chorus]
She had two bumps in the middle of her knees,
One bump coughed while the other bump sneezed.
[Chorus]
She had two feet sized eleven and a half,
One took a shower while the other took a bath.
[Chorus]
She had two hips like battleships,
One stayed home while the other took trips.
[Chorus]
A ten-ton truck ran over Magalena,
The poor truck-driver had to buy a new machine!
[Chorus]
Any others?
-Joe-
