FATHER ABRAHAM

Father Abraham, had many sons sir.
And many sons had Father Abraham.
And they never laughed, and they never cried.
All they did was go like this:
With a left. REPEAT

Father Abraham, had many sons sir....
With a left. REPEAT
And a right. REPEAT
Father Abraham...
 
This song is repeated until the audience is singing the whole verse with each limb moving. Essentially the last verse is with a left and a right and a right leg and a left leg and a rear end, etc.

FLEA FLY

Flea! REPEAT
Flea fly! REPEAT
Flea fly flo! REPEAT
Coomalata coomalata coomalata vista REPEAT
Oh no no no not avista REPEAT
Eenie meenie decimeenie oh walla walla meenie
Hexameenie zoolameenie oh walla wa. REPEAT
A beep billy oatin totin bobo bendeedindoten, bobo bendeedindoten
Bobo bendeedintdoten shhh! REPEAT
 
Surprise, surprise. This song has the same clapping and slapping rhythm of Calamine Lotion and Dog, Cat, Mouse. See those songs for instruction and guidance and revelatory information. Have you ever tried spelling out some of these words? CFL staffers have some pretty queer vocabulary to learn!

FOUND A PEANUT

Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut just now.
Just now I found a peanut, found a peanut just now.

It was rotten, it was rotten, it was rotten just now.
Just now it was rotten, it was rotten just now.

Ate it anyway...
Got sick...(or a stomach ache)
Called the doctor...
Had surgery...
Died anyway...
Went to Heaven...
Forgot my teddy bear...
Went after it...
Back in Heaven...
Kicked an angel...
Went the other way...(or shoveling coal)
Found a peanut...
It was rotten...
Threw it away...
 
This is sung to the tune of Clementine and goes on for a long time. Make sure that your audience likes it and that you have a lot of time to do it.
