Hark hark the dogs do bark
The beggars are coming to town Some in rags and some in jags And one in a velvet gown. |

Every limbo boy and girl
All around the limbo world, Gonna do the limbo rock All around the limbo clock. Jack be limbo, Jack be quick Jack go under the limbo stick; All around the limbo clock Hey, let's do the limbo rock! First you spread your limbo feet Then you move to the limbo beat. Limbo ankle limbo knee, Bend back like a limbo tree. Jack be limbo, Jack be quick Jack go under the limbo stick; All around the limbo clock Hey, let's do the limbo rock! Get yourself a limbo girl; Give that chick a limbo whirl. There's a limbo moon above; You will fall in limbo love. Jack be limbo, Jack be quick Jack go under the limbo stick; All around the limbo clock Hey, let's do the limbo rock! |

First you put your two knees close up tight
Then you sway them to the left, then you sway them to the right Step around the floor kind of nice and light Then you twist around and twist around with all your might, Stretch your loving arms straight out into space, Then you do the Eagle Rock with style and grace. Swing your foot way 'round then bring it back. Now that's what I call Ballin' the Jack. |

Star light, star bright,
First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight. Luz Brillante Luz brillante, esplendorosa, Primera estrella que veo esta noche; ¡Como quisiera que tú me dieras, Lo que yo deseo esta noche! |

Skinner and Tupper - prenelsocked version:-
There once was a fellow called Skinner Who took a young girl out to dinner. At a quarter to nine They set out to dine. By a quarter to ten He was hungry again. Another young fellow called Tupper Then took out a lady for supper. At a quarter to eight They started their date By a quarter to nine he was doing just fine - Not Tupper But some dashed outsider called Skinner. |

Someone came knocking
At my wee, small door; Someone came knocking I’m sure-sure-sure! I listened, I opened, I looked to left and right; But nought there was a-stirring In the still dark night. Only the busy beetle Tap-tapping in the wall, Only from the forest The screech-owl’s call, Only the cricket whistling While the dewdrops fall, So I know not who came knocking, At all, at all, at all! |

Now I lay me down to sleep
My peanuts by my side I keep If I should die before I wake I'll leave them for my brother, Jake |

Not last night but the night before,
Twenty-four robbers came knocking at my door. As I ran out, they ran in. I hit them on the head with a rolling pin. |

I saw Cecilia coming
Along the water's edge, I saw Cecilia coming With flowers in her hand. She looked toward her shepherd, The shepherd Floriaan Who to his sheep was tending Along the selfsame path. Cecilia started singing; Her heart was overflowing. Her shepherd heard this clearly, He came to her right then, And kissed his Cecilia Upon her ruby lips. |
