Thread Name: Discussion: King of the Cannibal Islands
Subject: Lyr Add: THE CANNIBAL KING
One that my Mom taught me, that she sang when she was small and was called THE CANNIBAL KING is as follows:

Oh a cannibal King
With a big nose ring
Fell in love with a Zulu maid
And every night
In the pale moonlight
Across the canal he'd wave

His dusky miss
Gave him a kiss
All under the green bay tree
And every night they say a duet
That sounded like this to me

Oh jason lee ah
Ka yiah boowah
Oh pappa wawa
Conneticuh
Umpah umpah umpah

As the years went by
Like one two three
Soon there was a family
And every night
In the pale moon light
It sounded like this to me
Chorus:
