Song of Sambo

Sambo had an auntie, an auntie very poor.
One day she said to Sambo, I'll make you scrub the floor.
Sambo didn't like it; he went upstairs to bed.
Tumbled on the bannister and landed on his head.

Bang! More work for the undertaker,
Another little job for the tombstone maker,
Off to the local cemetery, on his tombstone you will see;
Sambo pegged out.

Sambo had an uncle, an uncle very rich.
One day he said to Sambo, 'I'll give you two and six' (2/6d.)
Sambo feeling thirsty, went into a shop.
Ten lemonades, and ten ginger beers, and then he went off POP

Bang! More work for the undertaker,
Another little job for the tombstone maker,
Off to the local cemetery, on his tombstone you will see;
Sambo pegged out.

Sambo joined the railway, for him there was no hope,
He tried to clean the railway lines, with a bar of Sunlight soap.
Along came and engine and what do you think of that?
He rolled up his dirty sleeves, and tried to push it back.

Bang! More work for the undertaker,
Another little job for the tombstone maker,
Off to the local cemetery, on his tombstone you will see;
Sambo pegged out.
