Go Away, Mister Crocodile!
Composer(s): C.W. Murphy; D. Lipton
At the break of day, as the sun's bright ray
Shone upon the River Nile
From the waters deep there began to creep
Such a great, big crocodile
And there on the banks a baby c**n played
And she wished to play alone
So she frowned on the crocodile, and shouted
In quite an angry tone, "Go away! Go away!"
"Go away, Mister Crocodile!
Don't you wag your tail with glee
Run and play, Mister Crocodile
Kase you ain't gwine to play with me
Go away, Mister Crocodile!
I could watch you cry all day
'Kase I know that tear ain't a bit sincere
Mister Crocodile, go away! Go away!"
Said the crocodile with a knowing smile
"I have waited days for you,
As on you I gaze, there's something says
You'd be tender, if not true
I love you so much that I could eat you,
How I wish that we were one!"
But she climbed to the branches of a palm tree
And thus bade him begone, "Go away! Go away!"
"Go away, Mister Crocodile!
Don't you wag your tail with glee
Run and play, Mister Crocodile
Kase you ain't gwine to play with me
Go away, Mister Crocodile!
I could watch you cry all day
'Kase I know that tear ain't a bit sincere
Mister Crocodile, go away! Go away!"
