When I was about 10–about 1984–I learned this song, which seems like it was probably written in the late 70’s. I tried googling it today, and got nothing at all. Does anyone remember this song, a take-off on the old witch doctor song?
My friend the alligator he told me what to say (boom boom boom boom)
My friend the alligator he told me what to do (boom boom boom boom)
He said “I do not want to wind up as your shoe!” and he said
Oo ee oo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang
Oo ee oo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang
My friend the California condor he told me what to say (boom boom boom boom)
My friend the California condor he told me what to do (boom boom boom boom)
He said “We once were many but now we’re just a few” and he said (chorus)
My friend the bicycle he told me what to say (boom boom boom boom)
My friend the bicycle he told me what to do (boom boom boom boom)
He said “If you ride me the skies they will stay blue!” and he said (chorus)
Well, it’s a weird little song, but does anyone know where it came from or if there are more verses?
