Thanks for all your patience! Here are the lyrics to Rolf Harris' "Two Buffalos" and the flip side "The Court of King Caractacus" (in the next post)

TWO BUFFALOS
(Rolf Harris)

I looked outside my window, and what do you think I saw?
The strangest sight I've ever seen.
You'll never guess just what I mean.
I can't believe it myself. I saw
2 buffalos, 2 buffalos, buffalos on my lawn.
Romping all around and stomping on the ground
And all of my grass was gone.

I watched them for awhile, and what do you think I saw?
The strangest sight I've ever seen.
You'll never guess just what I mean.
I still can't believe it myself. I saw
4 buffalos, 4 buffalos, buffalos on my lawn.
Romping all around and stomping on the ground
And all of my grass was gone.

Then I began to worry. Well, what was I supposed to do?
The strangest sight I've ever seen.
I guess you've guessed just what I mean,
Though I can't believe it myself. I saw
8 buffalos, 8 buffalos, buffalos on my lawn.
Romping all around and stomping on the ground
And all of my grass was gone.

Pretty soon there was 16 buffalos, 16 buffalos,
Buffalos coming in the door.
Romping all around and stomping on the ground
There were buffalos by the score.

Looked again and there's 32 buffalos, 32 buffalos,
Buffalos sliding down the stairs.
Romping all around and stomping on the ground
There were buffalos jumping on the chairs.

Pretty soon there was 64 buffalos, 64 buffalos,
Buffalos running in my room.
Romping all around and stomping on the ground
Somebody better get a broom!

One hundred and twenty eight buffalos.
Man that's enough of those buffalos jumping on my bed.
Romping all around and stomping on the ground
So this is what I said:

You'd better get outta here buffalos, get outta here buffalos,
Buffalos get outta my bed!
You've been jumping on things and busting all the springs
And I'm gonna shoot you dead.

I looked outside my window, and what do you think I saw?
The nicest sight I've ever seen.
I guess you know just what I mean,
Though I can't believe it myself. I saw
No buffalos, no buffalos, buffalos on my lawn.
Not romping all around or stomping on the ground,
But all of my grass was gone.
