The Portuguese

      

Am                                      G             

It was the Portuguese who had dirty knees

F               E7                  Am

When they knelt down in the mud

Am                 G                 F            E7                Am

And the Indian Scared Cow was always chewing at the cud

C                  E7                      

But the Americans they were the ones

Am                          E7

Who came with such a thud

Am               E7                        Am            E7           Am 

If the Martians come to earth will they bring their own soap suds

C                           E7

Goodness Gracious Me

Am                      E7

Goodness Gracious Me

Am          E7      Am

Goodness Gracious Me

 

Now the French they eat Frogs Legs

 

And they eat lots of snails

 

And the Belgium’s bring their children up

 

On French fries and finger nails

 

And the Japanese some times have dirty knees

 

and they eat steaks of Whale

 

If we all lived on the moon and ate sheep’s eyes

 

Would we go to Jail

 

 

Now the Italians built a Tower leaning to one side

 

Now the Russians built a Kremlin to keep their Politicians in

 

But the Australians have Kangaroos

 

And they have Wallabies

 

If a Koala Bear sat on your lap

 

Would his flees tickle your knees
