1. There was an Anglo called Joe
Who sang till his throat was sore,
So he bit a flaming match
And sent it down the hatch,
Now his throat is sore no more.
2. His mouth turned gritty
whenever he composed a ditty
for his Anglo girl in Cal,
who his friends called Sal
and said she was far from pretty.
3. Cal is covered with grime
which is a result of the Clime,
so whenever Sam starts to mope
he uses a bucket of soap
to clean up the slime.
4. There was Mike from Angloland
who filled a bucket with sand,
then he sent out a tune
a little too soon
now he has his own brass band.
5. It was destiny and Fate
the Anglos had their own State,
the Chief Minister carried a bag
and married an old hag
now they rule from the State gate.
6. Boy!Boy! roti lao
Chicken curry and pulao,
Bring out the silver spoon
From my Aunty June
And let us put down the chow.
7. Let us have a talk
as I use the spoon and fork
"I want to eat some vindaloo
prawn curry and tampradu,"
as we talk the talk, while we walk the walk.
8. There was an Anglo painter called Jude
who was so awfully rude
but when he went abroad
he found a happy God
now he only paints in the nude.
9. There was an Anglo mechanic named Peter
who rode on an electric heater
but when he immigrated to Spain
he lived only on sugarcane
and married a cotton beater.
10. There was an Anglo girl down the lane
everyone around called her naughty Jane
but, it wasn't long before the people
ran up the Church steeple
as she drove the locality insane.
