Muffin Songs
Here is some information from a Muffin song book which was published in the 1950's
1. We want Muffin, Muffin the mule.
Dear old Muffin, playing the fool.
We want Muffin, everybody sing
We want Muffin the Mule.
2. Big Chief Carrot Top
Waller waller waller woo.
Big Chief Carrot Top
Waller waller waller woo.
All alone at midnight
Dancing in the moonlight.
Big Chief Carrot Top
Waller waller waller woooooooo.
3. Make way for Mr. Peregrine Esquire
A penguin so important.
When I meet Mr. Peregrine Esquire
I want to laugh but I oughtn't.
His clean white shirt
Not a speck of dirt.
He's always clean and tidy.
Depend on him
To be neat and trim
From Saturday until Friday.
Make way for Mr. Peregrine Esquire
A penguin so important.
I want to laugh but I oughtn't -
Because - he's - so - im - portant.
4. I'm Louise the Lamb
What a happy lamb I am.
Wearing buttercup and daisy
Just a trifle crazy!
I'm Louise the Lamb
What a lucky lamb I am.
I gambol, gambol all the day
I never work, I only play!
Over the hills and far away
There goes the lamb.
Lucky Louise the Lamb!
5. Sally the Seal is always dancing
Sally the Seal is always prancing
She can use her flippers
Just like dancing slippers.
She can balance a ball on her nose
Over she goes!
Head over toes.
She's my favourite seal
With such a slippery feel (ooh!).
Sally the seal is always dancing
Sally the seal is always prancing
She's so bright and pally - My Sally!
6. Peter the Pup (and his mice)
I know a mouse called Morris,
He has a wife called Doris.
They live together in a little straw house,
How nice to be a mouse!
Yes, they are field mice, don't you see?
They live at the bottom of an old oak tree.
They don't like our houses,
They are quite independent 'mouses'.
Yes, I know a mouse called Morris,
He has a wife called Doris.
They live together in a little straw house,
How nice to be a mouse!
How nice - to - be - a - mouse!
