Gimme a consonant, gimme a vowel.
Gimme a consonant, I'll have another one.
Gimme a vowel, Gimme a consonant,
Gimme a consonant from the dictionary.
Where's your conundrum now you're gone,
to the big tea time teaser in the sky?
Carol dry your eyes, I'm sure he'll get a nine every time.
Pick your numbers, work it out,
and I'm sure we'll all be fine.
Legend is a six letter word.

Out Like One

Fireworks make pretty coloured patterns and loud noises,
watch the birdies whack 'em in and find out where the boys is.
It keeps falling, it keeps falling off the microwave.
I am not a visor boy, no I do not misbehave.
Chub, in like a lion.
Chub Chub, out like a lamb.
Chub Chub Chub Chub, what do you say to me?
Do you like sea creatures with their underwater features?
Wrap it up and tuck it in and listen to school teachers.
Hugo's yawning, Chub Chub's turning a different colour,
Do you like my new table? It's nice and circular.
Schnieder mummy.
Meer cat cat.
Meer dog cat.
It's not finished yet.
abcdefghijklmnop
Chub Chub Chub Chubby Yubby Yubby Yubby Yub.

Get It Along Gum

I put a curse on a gypsy lady to confuse her.
She wanted me to stop and go away,
But instead I stayed.
Catch you later alligator,
See you later, you stranger.
The spiral man would not let me use his hair product; 80's vinyl.
We had to climb upstairs,
and all the way downstairs again.
Dance, dance, let the artifact see me.
Scream, scream, when I work out my theory.
Chew the gum to get along,
Catch the subject of the letter.
Ignoring, that's bad,
But progress is better.
Next time we'll spend the whole night on the middle floor,
It would kill us.
Find a window, look through,
Laugh hysterically at you, you and you.

Charlie's in his garden,
Charlie's in his bed.
Charlie's in his garden,
That's what my Auntie said.
