The Enormous Turnip

Lyrics

A turnip did grow and grow and grow
Until it was enormous
An old man tried to pull it up
He pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The old man asked his wife to help
To help pull up the turnip
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The old man’s wife then asked a boy
To help pull up the turnip
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

INSTRUMENTAL

The boy then asked a girl to help
To help pull up the turnip
The girl pulled the boy
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man
The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
But couldn’t pull up the turnip

The girl then called out to a dog
The dog called a cat
The cat called a mouse
To help pull up the turnip
The mouse pulled the cat
The cat pulled the dog
The dog pulled the girl
The girl pulled the boy
The boy pulled the wife
The wife pulled the man

The old man tried to pull it up
They pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
And pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled
And pulled and pulled and pulled and pulled…

SPOKEN
And finally after one last HUGE pull….
Up came a gigantic, an absolutely enormous turnip!!!

Very Strange Cat

Lyrics

A cat came to stay just the other day
I already had one but I thought well, it might be fun
To have two in the house, make life hard for the mouse.

So, as from now there’ll be a second meiow
Every morning at seven – “Let them in, will you Kevin?”

“I say, you’re an awfully good chap” said the brand new cat
“Could you see your way clear to fetch some milk over here?
My throat’s rather dry and well not to be shy…
So what do you think, any chance of a drink?”

I found him a glass extra fast
He licked and slurped, swallowed then burped
Then said with a wave “Must be off, got to see Dave.”
He never came back – and that was that.
Very strange cat!

Lyrics

If a man has one cat
And another one comes to stay
How many cats
Are there in his house today?

Two pussy cats, two pussy cats
Two pussy cats, two pussy cats

Another cat scratches on the door
The man lets him in
The cat says, “Awfully good old you old chap”
And licks him on the chin

Three pussy cats, three pussy cats
Three pussy cats, three pussy cats

A little bit later on
Two more cats appear
A tabby one and a stray
The man gives them an ice cold beer and that makes

Five pussy cats, five pussy cats
Five pussy cats, five pussy cats
Lyin’ on the kitchen floor

Meiow, meiow…

Four cats jump up
And run away chasing a mouse
So how many cats
Are there still left in this house?

One pussy cat, one pussy cat
One little pussy cat, a little bitty pussy cat
Lyin’ on the kitchen floor

Meiow, meiow, meiow
