The Greek song I would like the words for, is called something like E Kokkoraki. Spelling will be very wrong as I only ever heard it sung. It was a favourite of Donald Swann, he of Flanders and Swann fame, he apparently learned it in Greece during the second world war, when he was stationed there.
It appears to be an Old MacDonald had a Farm sort of song, with a list of all the animals and the noises they make, and I believe the title means The Cockerel.
