GUEST,slehto Discussion: King of the Cannibal Islands (29) RE: Lyr Req: King of the Cannibal Islands 16 May 13


My dad learned this song at Boy Scout Camp or YMCA camp back in the 1920s. He used to sing it to us kids in the 1950s. Here is all I remember of his version. I'm glad to see all the other verses that I have forgotten. Thanks.

Hokey Pokey Winky Wum.
Parlacom pinky moorly come
Hansy tansy whyry rum
Down on the Cannibal Islands.

The king, he had a little roast.
and 40 of his wives, gave up the ghost.
and we had crocodiles on toast
Down on the cannibal islands.

The king he made a chief of me
and called me Nora Kirah Kee.
and we got gay as gay could be.
Down on the cannibal islands.
