No. 16 - Song - Charlie and Chorus
| Charlie: | Now children all, both large and small, When walking by the Hoogly, If you should ever chance to view A tail just like a "Googlie" 'Twill only show that close below There crawls a fearsome creature; For a crocodile perhaps may smile, But all the same he'll eat you. Oh, be careful of the crocodile, Mind the crocodile don't eat you. If you're walking by the river, And you see the rushes quiver, Oh, be careful of the crocodile, If the crocodile should meet you, If he wants to sup He'll eat you up Unless you eat the crocodile. |
| Chorus: | Oh, be careful of the crocodile, Mind the crocodile don't eat you. If you're walking by the river, And you see the rushes quiver, Oh, be careful of the crocodile, If the crocodile should meet you, If he wants to sup He'll eat you up Unless you eat the crocodile. |
| Charlie: | And grown-ups too, don't think that you Can treat this matter lightly. You'd best look out what you're about, As you go flirting nightly, Before you know how fast you go The crocodile goes faster; And in the "Star" that night you are An "'orrible disaster." Oh, be careful of the crocodile, Mind the crocodile don't eat you. Girls, don't forget I've told you, When you're strolling with a soldier, Oh, be careful of the crocodile, If the crocodile should meet you, You may get wed soon But your honeymoon Will be inside the crocodile. |
| Chorus: | Oh, be careful of the crocodile, Mind the crocodile don't eat you. Girls, don't forget I've told you, When you're strolling with a soldier, Oh, be careful of the crocodile, If the crocodile should meet you, You may get wed soon But your honeymoon Will be inside the crocodile. |
| Charlie: | Some day perhaps, you single chaps Will soon get married, maybe, Or later on you'll gaze upon Your own delicious baby. The troubles then of married men Arise, one on another, But the worst of all that can befall Is the wife's proverbial mother. Don't be careful of the crocodile, Ask the crocodile to meet her. He's extremely long and lusty, And if she should cut up rusty, Introduce her to the crocodile, He will very likely eat her. When he sees the jaw Of the mother-in-law It's hard luck on the crocodile. |
