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
