The King of the Cannibal Islands
      I always thought this was pretty questionable.

   Oh have you heard this story of late?
   For if you've not it's on my pate
   About the mighty potentate,
   The king of the cannibal islands.
       Hokey pokey winky wong
       Polly makook a moly kong
       Hangery rangery chingery ching
       The king of the cannibal islands. (I never tried to spell those words before. This is literally a song I learned at my mother's knee.)

   Woman pudding, baby sauce
   Little boy pie for second course,
   He ate them all without any remorse,
   The king of the cannibal islands.

   He dined on clergymen cold and raw
   He never had more at a meal than four
   He ate them all without license or law
   The king of the cannibal islands.

   The last words of this monarch bold
   Were not bequeathing his wealth nor gold
   But warning all against clergymen cold
   the king of the cannibal islands
