GUEST,Debbie Discussion: King of the Cannibal Islands (29) RE: Lyr Req: King of the Cannibal Islands 06 Dec 18


This song obviously has lots of variants. The version I learned as a child was as follow:

Hokey Pokey Winky Wung,
Polly Makoo and Pumering Kong,
Hangery Wangery Chingery Chung,
The King of the Cannibal Islands.

Woman pudding, baby sauce,
Little boy pie for a second course:
He swallowed them all without any remorse,
The King of the Cannibal Islands.

Then one day through terrible fault
He ate clergyman cold without pepper or salt.
They laid him away in the family vault,
The King of the Cannibal Islands.

His will it read, so I’ve been told,
Not of riches or lands or gold,
But warned all men against clergymen cold,
The King of the Cannibal Islands.
