Porcupines injured by falling from branches;
Water consumption by toilets and ranches;
Sloths whose coarse fur wears away sloth moth wings --
These are a few of my song topic things.

Socks that Goodwill may find hard to recycle;
Nogies Creek bullfrogs (recorded by Michael);
Circuits that pick up the phone when it rings --
These are a few of my song topic things.

Toads that cross roads though endangered by lorries;
Widow and knight from Boccaccio's stories;
Slow loris sex, where the male hangs and clings --
These are a few of my song topic things.

Nobel prize winners who studied the quantum;
Bread-baking lessons, for those who might want 'em;
Why one should sit on a chair when one sings --
These are a few of my song topic things.

Dung beetles sent to eat shit in Australia;
Webmasters' jargon and paraphenalia;
Folks who use condoms when having short flings --
These are a few of my song topic things.

Starfish described in a 5/4 march meter;
Lions'-den Daniel, that great lentil eater;
Jews speaking Greek under Syrian kings --
These are a few of my song topic things.

Earthworm sex characterized with precision;
How the moon formed in a giant collision,
Bringing us solstices, autumns, and springs --
These are a few of my song topic things;

"Sixteen Thousand and Eight Legs"

She was just a harmless little gal
Eight legs and a tummy swell
Few days later and her kids did dwell
In my pubic hair

Seemed to dance all through the night
Do-si-do and alamand right
Must have been a strange, strange sight
In my pubic hair

(more stanzas go here--I can't be arsed)

If crabs were coins I would have riches
To go along with all my itches
But I killed the little sons of bitches
In my pubic hair

Crab Jubilee         

Crab Jubilee! Crab Jubilee!
Crabs look so happy, so fancy and free!
So graceful, so tasteful, So glad to be
part of a wonderful Crab Jubilee!
The crabs come a dancin' Up onto the land! They merrily waltz right into your pan!
It's a joyous occasion. Something to see
The crabs celebrating the Crab Jubilee!

Chorus
Crab Jubilee! Crab Jubilee!
Sounds like death and dyin' to me!
The oxygen's used, decomposing algae.
So we can flee or die, that's Crab Jubilee!

My buddies, the oysters cement themselves down.
They're not built for moving around.
So like all the critters
that cannot swim far,
When the oxygen drops,
They die right where they are.

So when the crabs leave the water,
you know somethin's wrong !?
We'd much rather stay down
where we belong.
So when life underwater can't be sustained.....
Then we sadly depart as we sing this refrain.

Chorus

Water contains dissolved oxygen
down here we breathe
through our gills as we swim
down in the mud under the bay
bacteria decompose things every day
then the oxygen drops, OH NO !
most of life stops, OH NO !
anoxia, OH NO
where did the oxygen all go ?

Crab jubilee! Crab Jubilee
It sounds like death and dying to m.e
It isn't a party. There's no cause for glee.
It's sad to be part of a crab jubilee.
Ye,s I hope there's no more crab jubilee.

Sing this to the tune of "On Top Of Old Smokey".

My aardvark wears snowshoes.
My grandmother's green,
And my red, neon necktie,
Can barely be seen.

My aardvark went shopping,
For a purple toupee',
When the F.B.I. stopped him,
On the Apian Way.

Then without any warning,
The G-man fell dead,
While visions of aardvarks,
Danced in his head.

Then a nine-legged chicken,
Laid an egg on his toes,
Which hatched out a Martian,
With a fourty foot nose.

The nose was so monsterous,
That it weighed down his head.
He turned with graet effort,
To the chicken and said,

"My aardvark wears snowshoes.
My grandmother's green,
And my red, neon necktie,
Can barely be seen."

Many of the songs above seem, from a consideration of titles, to tend towards the humorous. Bearing in mind some of the contributions to another current thread, re "What do you need to write (sic) a song", in particular those concerned with "having something to say" (even if it is only that "De Camptown racetrack five mile long..."), are there any examples among the Comic Songs above of their being genuinely satirical; that is, in the guise of humour, actually saying something more significant than that somebody has wee crustaceans....

One of my all time favorite made up songs was composed while a 10 year old girl and I were hiking in the woods, singing to keep away the bears. The song was about a mutual someone we didn't like because she treated everyone poorly (including her husband).

The tune? What shall we do with the drunken sailor...

One of the many verses:

She beats him with a frying pan
She beats him with a frying pan
She beats him with a frying pan
Early in the morning...

Not much to it at all but we got a good laugh out of it and didn't see a bear all day! :)

I suggest the interested student or aspirant visit the Mudcat Song Book and review all the SONG CHALLENGE threads. I can't begin to remember all the topics. Scientists measuring bees, otters who want to go home, mooses attacking Volkswagens, showgirls throwing underwear, naked men on second-story drainpipes, headless chickens and mysterious chicken-murders and rooster-wranglers, free clothes and golden toilets, to name just a few. Not to mention two variants of the Incandescent Pickle and its uses, and the trials of the ladies who hostess at the Gentlemen's Club, and why women's lib is not all its cracked up to be, and lovers who meet during out-of-body trysts before they marry. Sisters buried in landfills and keys lost in outhouses, weasel-poop coffee, false teeth recovered from toilet drains... cowboys bit by snakes...whores operating beauty salons... the list just goes on and on.

Ashes Cricket (tune of Spanish Ladies)

Farewell and adieu to you cricketers of old England
farewell and adieu your barmy army went wrong
We've bowled out our overs and left you a crying
Oh to win back the ashes did'nt take us that long.

CHORUS We'll rant and we'll roar like true Aussie cricketers
We'll rant and we'll roar at the wickets we got
Until the Ashes return to their true homeland
It'll be bloody hard going you sad Ponmmie lot.

Ashes Cricket Cont.

The boys of our team they looked so entrancing
like bawling young bullocks the're out for their fun
With the yell of owzat and all kinds of prancing
Mcgraths fine balls takes another wicket for one

Chorus We'll rant and we'll roar like true Aussie cricketers
       We'll rant and we'll roar at the wickets we got
       Until the Ashes return to their true homeland
       It'll be bloody hard going for you sad Pommie lot.

Then Clarke at Perth that hard bitten batsman
caused the trembling Pom bowlers to shit in the dust
where the bowlers got smashed by Hussey and Gilchrist
the poor Pom's couldn't get near them, Now thats what I call just.

Chorus

Then fill up your glasses and drink to our cricketrs
We'll drink this place dry and watch the Poms fall
For now we've won the Ashes from England
go on hurry off home cause we've buggered you all.

Chorus.

There is another jolly song about crabs---It is sung by naval personnel when referring to members of the Royal Air Force, who are always known as Crabs ---from Crabfat Blue, the colour of their uniforms. For this ,you need a 40 seater bus,a large number of rowdy sailors, and a trumpeter. As you drive past the guardroom of RAF Buggery-in-the-Mire,you get the trumpeter to play the tune of the Camptown Races, whilst all available hands sing " All you Crabfats Piss Me Off, DOO-DAH,DOO-DAH " etc. (repeat incessantly ).Caution--It is advisable to do this only when LEAVING the RAF station, as opposed to when entering it.    Bubblyrat, (AKA Signor Tottoff.)
