Here's what I remember my dad singing to me:


Oh I was born on a night one morn when the whistle rang boom boom
I boiled a cake and baked a steak when the mud pies were in bloom
If six and six are nine and ice comes from a mine
And old black Joe the Eskimo gets pork from porky pines

A pig or a cow can bark meow, but a goldfish likes to sing
I once saw a frog swim up a log, but he fell and broke his wing
I know that camels sail the sea and we get honey from a flea
And elephants like to roost in a tree, my country ''tis of thou!
