(Some Kiwi verses to the tune of Threshing Machine)
I once went to visit my great uncle Jim
His wife had just thrown a tomato at him
"Tomatoes don't hurt," said I with a grin
He said, "This one did, it was inside a tin."
Tra-la-la, tra-la-lee
Oh how would you, how would you
Like to be me
I once went to vist my girlfriend Miss Brown
She was having a bath and she couldn't come down
She said, "I'll just slip on something and be down in a tick"
She slipped on the soap and she sure came down quick
Chorus
I met an old man at a funeral one day
His hair it was long and his beard it was grey
"I'm close on a hundred," he said with a moan
I said, "You'd be wasting your time to go home."
Chorus
I once met a beggar along the main street
He'd no clothes to his back and no shoes to his feet
I felt sorry for him and the-en and there
Went into the fruit shop and brought him a pear
Chorus
