Thread Name: Discussion: King of the Cannibal Islands
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: king of the cannibals
Hey all, I've been trying to find a missing lyric from a similar song we used to sing at my summer camp. Can anybody help? Here's what I've got:

Hoky Poky Winky Wong,
Polly Kabink and Spurly Gum,
Tamsy Wamsy Wirly Rum,
King of the Cannibal Islands.

Now as I sailed the seas one day,
To the south seas made my way,
Struck a reef in a bottomless Bay,
Way down in the cannibal islands!

Hoky Poky Winky Wong,
Polly Kabink and Spurly Gum,
Tamsy Wamsy Wirly Rum,
King of the Cannibal Islands.

I said to the king, How do you do?
And how the dickens do you do?
And he said very fine thank you.
Way down in the cannibal islands!

Hoky Poky Winky Wong,
Polly Kabink and Spurly Gum,
Tamsy Wamsy Wirly Rum,
King of the Cannibal Islands.

The king he made a prince of me,
And called me Cor-a-Kai-ra-Kee
And we were happy as can be,
Way down in the cannibal islands!

Hoky Poky Winky Wong,
Polly Kabink and Spurly Gum,
Tamsy Wamsy Wirly Rum,
King of the Cannibal Islands.

The king for me prepared a Roast,
And 40 wives gave up the ghost,
And we had crocidile with toast,
Way down in the cannibal islands!

Hoky Poky Winky Wong,
Polly Kabink and Spurly Gum,
Tamsy Wamsy Wirly Rum,
King of the Cannibal Islands.

-------------------- (here's the line I don't know)
And little boy pie, for second course
All served up in an old dead horse,
Way down in the cannibal islands!

Hoky Poky Winky Wong,
Polly Kabink and Spurly Gum,
Tamsy Wamsy Wirly Rum,
King of the Cannibal Islands.

But now I'm back, I'm safe and sound,
Upon my own, my native ground.
And never more will I be found...
Way down in the cannibal islands!

Hoky Poky Winky Wong,
Polly Kabink and Spurly Gum,
Tamsy Wamsy Wirly Rum,
King of the Cannibal Islands.


that's it. Any help would be much appreciated!
