Two crocodiles in the pot.
We’re making …
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
Add some potatoes,
some carrots,
and other vegetables too.
We’re making …
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
Stir it and simmer it,
make it really hot.
******
Add one more crocodile to stir it,
add one more to the pot.
We’re making …
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
Grandma and Grandpa are coming for dinner.
Add another crocodile for them,
and one for Auntie and Uncle too.
*******
Now the crocodile
added some onions and turnips too.
So much stuff going into
that fantastic brew.
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
Little Bo Peep brought her sheep
because it wasn’t mutton stew.
When she saw the crocodile
stirring the pot,
she knew just what to do.
*******
She got on the phone and called up
a friend or two.
For everyone knows crocodiles make
the best crocodile soup.
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
When the crocodile saw such a big crowd,
prancing in the door, …
He exclaimed,
“Crikey mate, what’s next?
the butcher, the baker,
and the candlestick maker?”
*******
That crocodile stirring the pot,
he sent his brother off to the zoo.
They’re going to need
another crocodile or two.
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
Then from the door came a terrible roar,
who could that be now at the door.
With a bang and a thud it flew open wide,
and the poor crocodile stirring the pot
let out a big sigh.
******
It was Pirate Captain Pete
and his whole scurvy pirate crew.
Old Leroy Lion, Greybeard,
Sammy Scoundrel, Handsome Henry,
Tina Terrible, and Johnny Little too.
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
So many dinner guests,
but he knew what to do.
We’ll have to toss in
another crocodile or two.
******
He got on the phone
and called up his cousins
down in the Bayou.
But those wily ol’ cocks
knew what he was up to.
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
Instead of coming to dinner themselves,
those smart ol’ crocks from swampy bog.
They netter and caught a whole bunch
of baby frogs,
and sent them with a note saying,
“make gumbo a la polliwog!”
******
When that jar of tadpoles arrived,
he had to think of something new.
He said,
“we are still going to need another
crocodile or two.”
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
Just then came another knock at the door.
And with a hiss, boom, roar
a whole football team with cheerleaders
came barging across the floor.
******
Well now we don’t need another
crocodile or two,
we need a whole lot more!
That poor crocodile stirring the pot,
he got on the phone and ordered
a gross of crocks by rush mail order.
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
When those crocodiles arrived,
it was quite a sight.
So many crocodiles everywhere!
It just didn’t seem right.
******
Oh, this crocodile soup
has gotten out of control!
That crocodile stirring the pot,
he keeps adding more and more and more!
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
A crocodile in your chair,
another in your hair!
Too many crocodiles in the pot!
One more dancing with the mop!
******
Crocodiles here and there,
a pair of crocodiles in your underwear!
Two crocodiles playing on the floor,
another walking through the door!
crocodile, crocodile, crocodile soup. (whisper)
******
Crocodiles everywhere!
Too many crocodiles
in the crocodile soup!
******
Crocodiles, crocodiles, crocodile soup. (whipser)
Crocodiles, crocodiles, crocodile soup. (a little louder)
Crocodiles, crocodiles, crocodile soup. (a little louder)
CROCODILE SOUP!! (yell!)
Arrr, Arrr, Arrr, Arrr, Arrrr, Arrrrrrrr (growl and gnash teeth)
