You ought to see what they did to my mummy
Pulled his organs out of his tummy
Put ‘em in spice, whacked ‘em in a jar
Painted him up with sticky tar
Wrapped him with linen from his head to his toes
Pulled his brains out of his nose
That’s not all the embalmers did
They buried my mummy in a pyramid

CHORUS
Ancient Egypt
Down by the Nile
Mummy’s gonna be in a tomb for a while
Fair go, Pharaoh
It’s not funny
Tell King Tut
I want my mummy

Mummy’s in a coffin of shining gold
Lying in a tomb that’s dark and cold
Jewels and treasures he’ll never see
Cos he’s half the mummy he used to be
Dead as a door nail, blind as a bat
With a mummified dog, and a mummified cat
Don’t ask me what my Daddy thinks
“Cos his chariot’s parked at the local Sphinx”

CHORUS

Some fellas with spades and a torch to see
Were doin’ some archaeology
Saw a glimmer, dug some more
Couldn’t believe the things they saw
Ancient paintings, priceless jewels
They gave a shout and dropped their tools
But the greatest treasure they found by far
Was a wrinkly mummy with it’s guts in a jar

CHORUS
It’s raining at school today
We can’t go outside to play
So this is where we are going to stay
Stuck in the classroom all day!

Lisa and Kelly are plaiting hair
Josh is passing notes around everywhere
Fiona is swinging on the teacher’s chair
Stuck in the classroom (all day)

Jillian’s flicking rubber bands
Rachael’s drawing on her nails and hands
Jodie’s swinging from the switched on fans
Stuck in the classroom (all day)

Melissa and Kate are playing games
Chris is calling David names
Nathan’s cutting all the hair off James
Stuck in the classroom (all day)

Becky’s chatting,Miriam’s bored
Jamin’s strumming out a guitar chord
Jason’s fighting with his ruler-sword
Stuck in the classroom (all day)

We’re trashing the joint, chucking ‘round toys
Laughing, shouting girls and boys
The teacher’s screaming,“Stop the noise!!!!”
Stuck in the classroom (all day)

Now Leanne had quite an appetite
She really loved to eat
Chocolate biscuits, sticky cakes
And every sort of treat
But one food made her feel so crook
One food Leanne did hate
She went green and would not eat
The vegies on her plate
So she’d stuff them under chicken bones
Hide them under fat
Slip them in her pockets (lots of kids do that)
Bury them in the pot plant
Drop them in her drink
Moosh them in the gravy
Or push them down the sink
V-E-G-E-T-A-B-L-E-S E-A-T T-H-E-M U-P

Now Leanne she said that cauliflower tastes like
dirty socks
And she wouldn’t eat zucchinis for a dozen
chocolate blocks
So Leanne had to keep trying, she had to persevere
And keep on finding new ways to make vegies
disappear
Well she’d feed them to the bunny rabbit
Stick them to the cat
Squash them in the dog food
And underneath the mat
Suck them up the vacuum cleaner
Flush them down the loo
Secretly conceal them
Underneath her shoe
V-E-G-E-T-A-B-L-E-S E-A-T T-H-E-M U-P

Now Leanne just hated broccoli, she wouldn’t eat
her peas
She said that eating brussel sprouts was worse than a
disease
The very sight of spinach was enough to make her
chuck
So secretly she kept inventing ways to hide the muck
Well she’d open up the windows
And toss them on the lawn
Flick them underneath the fridge
‘til everyone was gone
Stick some up her nostrils
Pop a couple in her ears
Slip a few behind the lounge
They won’t be found for years
V-E-G-E-T-A-B-L-E-S E-A-T T-H-E-M U-P

Well came the fateful,dreadful day, Leanne was down
and out
All her vegie vanishing tricks had all run out
There was no escaping to the north or to the south
She had to put her vegies right inside her mouth
But ... when she actually tasted them
She said,“Oh Aye! these taste great!”
Her family were shocked to see the vegies that
she ate
Then she searched out all the vegies that she’d ever
chucked away
They were all dried up and crusty
But she ate them anyway

V-E-G-E-T-A-B-L-E-S Y-U-M-M-Y Y-U-M-M-Y

carbuncle

Hieroglyphics - the writing’s on the wall
Hieroglyphics - don’t make no sense at all
Well the ‘gyptian dudes might understand
The phonogram and the ideogram
It’s just a bunch of funny pictures to me

Hieroglyphics - to me they all look much the same
Hieroglyphics - the way the ‘gyptians wrote their names
But stuff like this ain’t so absurd
To King Rameses - the third
He’s got them written on his grave
He’s a crazy cat

We got bulls and eyeballs
Lions and birds
Snakes and beetles
Instead of words
I even saw an iris
On papyrus ...

Hieroglyphics - the writing’s on the wall
Hieroglyphics - don’t make no sense at all
Well the ‘gyptian dudes might understand
The phonogram and the ideogram
It’s just a bunch of funny pictures
A bunch of funny pictures

Very few have climbed great mountains
Very few have reached the moon
Discoveries in space,on land and sea ...
But fewer still have plucked the courage
To face the dangerous unknown
Beneath the desk of Luke, in Year 3

Came the day when Luke declared
“I cannot find my book you see
I’ve searched my desk of that you can be
certain”
So says the teacher,“I will check”
And Luke says to himself,“Oh heck!
This time you know he’ll really chuck a burton!”
(The teacher found) Six pairs of scissors and
half a pack of fizzers
Eighty nine rubber bands, a little pot of glue,
A pick a path story book about a secret mystery
chook,
Half a devon sanga from 1982
He found a bottle full of after-shave (a present
that his mother gave),
A soccer ball, a footy ball, a fibreglass canoe,
A video, a stereo, a bottle full of Juicy-O,
Half a pound of sausages to make an Irish stew
And all - of - this - is true! (Phew!)
Now all this came as some surprise, the class
could not believe their eyes
The teacher stood with eyes and mouth wide
open
Then at last the teacher cried,“I’ll have another
look inside”
And soon again in Luke’s desk he was gropin’
(And he found) a pack of mouldy bubble gum,
half a tin of doggy chum,
Seven dozen rulers and some ham and chicken
spread,
A book about some astronauts and stuff
you put on planter warts
An angry brontosaurus and a soggy water-bed,
A mandolin, a violin, a little tin to put them in,
Seven tubs of margarine, eleven loaves of
bread
A kangaroo, a cockatoo, a jackeroo from
Channel 2
A band-aid from the time he cut his finger and
it bled
“What a mess” the teacher said.

When the book could not be found the
teacher looked upon the mound
Of all the junk that he had just uncovered,
He said to Luke,“Go take a look upon my
desk, that little book
May be there and be finally discovered.”
(So Luke walked over to the teacher’s desk
and he found) Twenty pencil packets and
some winter woolly jackets,
Eighty seven plastic bags, a photo of his
chook, a box of apples, big and green, a
drawing of a thing he’d seen,
The other teacher’s garbage bin he’d
accidentally took!
A tennis racquet,hockey stick,a rake,a shovel
and a pick
A pawn, a knight, a king, a queen, a bishop and
a roo,
Dirty clothes, a picture frame, some undies
with his mother’s name
And underneath it all Luke got his hands upon
his book!
Next time that’s where he’ll look. (It’s crook!)

Pharoah, Pharoah, oooo baby let my people go
Yeah yeah yeah

Well Moses saw the burning bush the other day
And God said to him I want you walk this way
I gotta get my people out of Pharoah’s land
And lead them all to the promised land

CHORUS

Well first I wasn’t listening saying
“Lord who am I?”
But God said (pause) here’s a sign
Just rock on down to Egypt, here’s the plan
Tell Pharoah you’ve been chosen by the great I Am

CHORUS

Well me and my people going to the Red Sea
And what do you think that I did see?
I raised my rod and cleared my throat
And all of Pharoah’s army did the dead man’s float

We were all in the classroom doing our work so well
When the teacher gets up and says “What’s that terrible smell?
If there’s a kid in this class,well they ought to know
When the little room is where he need to go”woah
But nobody moved and the smell grew steadily worse

CHORUS
Mind your step,watch where you put your shoe
Coz the doggies don’t care if the doo doo gets on you
Well them woofers’ eggs are a dog-gone pest
Keep your feet well away from the barkers’nest, yeah
Coz the doggies don’t care if the doo doo gets on you

Back in the classroom kids weren’t working so well
Coz everybody knows what was making that terrible smell
No one was willing to bare their sole
Get sent by the teacher out in the cold,woo-oo
I tell you he was glad when that lunch bell rang just then

CHORUS

Now I’m all growed up, I am willing to bet
That there’s things that we learned at school we will never forget
Like if the smell that you smell might be stuck to your shoe
Don’t let on that it might be you, no-oh
Only take a look when there’s no one looking at you

CHORUS

Then if you gotta dog, I say to you
Watch where you let that doggy doo, yeah
Coz the doggies don’t care if the doo doo gets on you.

Mary the milkmaid was milking a cow
The trouble with Mary, she didn’t know how
Along came the farmer and gave her the sack
So she turned the cow over and poured the milk back

To market to market went my brother Jim
Somebody chucked a tomato at him
Tomatoes are soft and they don’t bruise the skin
But this one killed Jim, it was wrapped in a tin

I called on my girlfriend, her name is Miss Brown
She was having a bath and she couldn’t come down
So I said “Slip on something, be down in a tick”
So she slipped on the soap and by gum she was quick

The butcher was cleaning the back of his shop
He stopped for a moment to lean on his mop
He sat on the slicing machine with a jerk
And he found that he’d got all behind in his work

A fellow named Humphrey went down to the sea
He was changing his swimmers behind a big tree
A dog chased him out and the people did stare
And the kids all said,“Look mum, it’s Humphrey Bare!”

I’ll tell you the ballad of Timothy Beggs
No antennae and hairy legs
A couple of fangs and poison glands
And a negative attitude

Tim left home, hit a very low ebb
Off to make a life beyond the web
His mummy ate his daddy, their love went wrong
So who could Timothy trust?

CHORUS
You can’t guide a spider out of trouble
If he won’t listen to you
He’ll soon find himself on the wrong side
Of the stomping foot or insssssecticide

Tim hit the skids with arachnid kids
Hanging out in cupboards and saucepan lids
Scaring the humans out of their wits
By trying to act real cool ...

CHORUS

Timothy Beggs met his doom
Crushed by a thong in a dark bathroom
Crushing his thorax and abdomen
Spreading green and yellow goo ...

It took a move to the country to open up
my eyes
A fall of rain, a muddy road
I watched the puddles rise
I slipped on gumboots
And stepped out into the rain
And rediscovered splashing through the
muddy puddles again

The kids took me from the staffroom
Into the bush where they played
A world of cubbies, of brave companions
Of secret hideaways
The joy of childhood
They shared with me
I was reminded of imagination
And the world that children see

CHORUS
There’s a wealth of life so easily just left behind
to rot
We say we’ve reached maturity
But we seem to miss a lot
We’d be a whole lot better off
If we took the time to share our lives with our
children

Now a friend of mine with a book in hand
Was sprawled out on the floor
Taken to another place
Through an open door
Engrossed in a living book
I remember the joy
Of mum reading a story to me
In bed when I was a boy

CHORUS

I took a walk through the bush with friends
We chatted as we strolled
And ran and laughed and discovered things
To see, to touch, to hold
A spider hole, a rusty lock
So much to be found
By taking time to walk together
Taking time to look around

Ate a mouldy tin of salmon
He felt sore and the doc said, "You're
